It appears that in aristocratic society, a women's success is through her offspring. In this passage, she beings her son which is expected to be the center of attention. Other's admire him, yet he's shy and his presence wasn't as effective as the mother had thought. The author hints at this mentioning that people couldn't figure out who the son takes after, his mother or father...possibly implying that he was reserved instead of being outgoing as a child is expected to be.

For 5 points, this is all I'm going to write. You can fill in the rest to complete 150 words.

Through the stories of love and frustration and the daily life of the Dashwood sisters, Jane Austen criticizes the society of her time in a rather subtle way. Bearing in mind that women could not work at that time and that the only way to get what was considered success came through marriage and motherhood. In this excerpt, Austen shows how the social conversation of women at that time was about their children, because that was the only success and social ascension that women could aim for.

Explain why Roosevelt's speech was such a big success. Use specific language from the speech to explain what is memorable and ef

Murrr4er [49]

According to a different source, this question refers to Roosevelt's first inaugural address, which was delivered on March 4, 1933.

There are several reasons why Roosevelt's speech was a big success. First, this was delivered at the height of the Great Depression, so many people were looking forward to hearing what Roosevelt had to say.

Roosevelt also used several rhetorical devices that made the speech memorable and effective. For example, he used paradox when he said that "the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself." He also used pathos when he appealed to the audience's feelings, by saying "nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." Roosevelt also employed logos when he said that "The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit."

All of these devices, as well as the vivid language he employs, make this speech a persuasive and powerful one.

Help me find the right aswer of gaps 2 and 5:

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

2. unattractive

5. However

Explanation:

In sentence number 2, the correct answer would be unattractive, as we can notice the shop windows discourage shoppers because of their emptiness. Bustling means full of activity, impressive means special, important or really large, so those options cannot be considered as a correct answer. Option A could be the correct answer, but unattractive fits better at the context then frequent.

In sentence number 5, the correct answer would be however. Because introduces causes and reasons, by introducing a subordinate clause, which needs a main clause to make it complete. Therefore, it cannot be considered a correct answer. Although means in spite of something and it can be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence, but it doesn't have a comma afterward and it cannot be considered as a correct answer.

We use otherwise to introduce a thought or an idea that contains an opposite claim or statement and to express our disagreement. It connects two clauses where the second clause (which contains otherwise) express what would have happened if the action in a first sentence hadn't occurred. Therefore, the correct answer is however. We use however to introduce a statement that expresses contrast with the previous sentence.

If you were to write a poetic tribute, how would you personify the spirit of the united state today?

Romashka [77]

Poetic tribute about the spirit of the United States:

My nation is for adoration

So state its valleys

Where old waterways stream

The round trip of life

Under the pleased eye of winged creatures

Embellishing the sky.

O wonderful for roomy skies,

For golden floods of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Over the fruited plain!

Love America Love America once more.

Love the fantasy it used to be.

Love the pioneer on the plain

Looking for a home where the Mind smiles

Be that as it may, the most bizarre thing yet was a fly without wings

Once as a fly it played in the stars

Singing, with open mouths, with happy soul for the country!

Which sentence contains both an adverb and a conjunction? A. Lucille was a kind person, but she hated people who spread rumors.

gogolik [260]

*Im guessing its B. Because conjuction is something like a comma but a word. For example the word and, but, also. An adverb is describing a verb, wich is a doing word, like jumping skipping falling. Hope I helped!
