This excerpt from Annus Mirabilis by John Dryden speaks about London after it was ravaged by fire and plague. What is the centra

l idea of the excerpt?
More great than human now, and more august,
Now deified she from her fires does rise:
Her widening streets on new foundations trust,
And opening into larger parts she flies.

Before, she like some shepherdess did show,
Who sat to bathe her by a river's side;
Not answering to her fame, but rude and low,
Nor taught the beauteous arts of modern pride.
. . .

Now, like a maiden queen, she will behold,
From her high turrets, hourly suitors come;
The East with incense, and the West with gold,
Will stand, like suppliants, to receive her doom!

The silver Thames, her own domestic flood,
Shall bear her vessels like a sweeping train;
And often wind, as of his mistress proud,
With longing eyes to meet her face again.

a.The growth and development of the city will endanger the river.
b.London will once again thrive despite the calamities that befell it.
c.The queen will welcome suitors from all across the world.
d.The Thames River will be flooded and will cause disaster.

b.to persuade readers to seek a peaceful reconciliation with Britain

c.to persuade readers to demand fair representation in the British Parliament

d.to persuade readers to exchange ideas freely with the British

<u>Answer:</u>

To persuade readers to fight for independence from Britain describes paine's purpose in writing common sense.

A. to persuade readers to fight for independence from Britain.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–1776 supporting autonomy from Great Britain to individuals in the Thirteen Colonies. In Common Sense, Thomas Paine contends for American autonomy.

His contention starts with increasingly broad, hypothetical reflections about government and religion, at that point advances onto the particulars of the pilgrim circumstance. Paine's splendid contentions were direct.

So he contended for two primary concerns:

  • Independence from England and
  • The creation of a democratic republic.

Which two parts of this excerpt from The Time Machine by H. G. Wells suggest that the Time Traveller told a captivating tale?
mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation: "In writing it down I feel with only too much keenness the inadequacy of pen and ink--to express its quality."

He is having trouble translating those exact feelings into words despite his knowledge and prowess, and this shows that the experience observed first hand was rather magnificent and captivating.

And secondly, at the end, when the writer says that "after a time we ceased to do that, and looked only at the Time Traveller's face."

The fact that the story cast a spell and they stopped looking at each other also tells us something. These two excerpts show that the Time Traveller told a captivating tale.
