mood, and overall meaning of the poem.
Passage:
Fame is a fickle food1
Upon a shifting plate
Whose table once a
Guest but not
The second time is set.

Whose crumbs the crows inspect
And with ironic caw
Flap past it to the Farmer's Corn —
Men eat of it and die.2

—Emily Dickinson, "1659"

1. The features of the British culture
elixir [45]

Answer:

British culture is influenced by the combined nations' history; its historically Christian religious life, its interaction with the cultures of Europe, the traditions of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and the impact of the British Empire. Although British culture is a distinct entity, the individual cultures of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are diverse and have varying degrees of overlap and distinctiveness.[1]

British literature is particularly esteemed. The modern novel was invented in Britain, and playwrights, poets, and authors are among its most prominent cultural figures.[2] Britain has also made notable contributions to music, cinema, art, architecture and television. The UK is also the home of the Church of England, the state church and mother church of the Anglican Communion, the third-largest Christian denomination. Britain contains some of the world's oldest universities, has made many contributions to philosophy, science, technology and medicine, and is the birthplace of many prominent scientists and inventions. The Industrial Revolution began in the UK and had a profound effect on the family socio-economic and cultural conditions of the world. As a result of the British Empire significant British influence can be observed in the language, law, culture and institutions of its former colonies, most of which are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. A subset of these states form the Anglosphere, and are among Britain's closest allies.[3][4] British colonies and dominions influenced British culture in turn, particularly British cuisine.[5] Sport is an important part of British culture, and numerous sports originated in the country including football.

The UK has been described as a "cultural superpower",[6][7] and London has been described as a world cultural capital.[8][9] A global opinion poll for the BBC saw the UK ranked the third most positively viewed nation in the world (behind Germany and Canada) in 2013 and 2014.[10][11]

The underlined words in this excerpt are
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

I think I know what you are trying to say. Here is the information that you may be trying to put out there:

Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's Address at Moscow State University.

Freedom, it has been said, makes people selfish and materialistic, but Americans are one of the most religious peoples on Earth. Because they know that liberty, just as life itself, is not earned but a gift from God, they seek to share that gift with the world. "Reason and experience," said George Washington in his farewell address, "both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. And it is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."

Select 3 options.

A.an example of procatalepsis.

C.used by Reagan to acknowledge an opposing view.

E.followed by a counterargument proving Reagan's point.

Explanation:

While addressing at Moscow State University, Ronald Reagan made use of procatalepsis where he is objecting to a commonly held belief. ‘Freedom, it has been said, makes people selfish and materialistic, but Americans are one of the most religious peoples on Earth’ here, ‘but’ indicates that the sentence is an example of procatalepsis.

Apart from this, Ronald is also acknowledging an opposing view by stating why Americans are the most religious people. Ronald also included George Washington’s counterargument for proving his point.
