Prior to the start of the play, we see a soldier who was wounded informing King Duncan of Macbeth’s victory over the forces of Norway and Ireland and Macbeth is commended for his victory.

Excitement between the two groups have risen after the election. is this correct

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The subject-verb agreement is wrong. The correct sentence would be:

- Excitement between the two groups has risen after the election.

Explanation:

If we ask the verb a simple question, we can find the subject: "What has risen after the election? Excitement between the two groups." Even though the answer is long, the simple subject itself is comprised of just one singular word: "excitement". This is the most important word, the one to which the verb refers. We can even remove the words that come after it, and the effect or meaning will be the same: "Excitement has risen after the election."

The problem with "Excitement between the two groups have risen after the election" is that "have" is agreeing with "groups". However, as seen above, "groups" is not the most important word in the subject. Therefore, the verb should not agree with it.

O, he sits high in all the people’s hearts,

Elden [556K]

Answer:

These lines are spoken by Casca.

The lines are about Brutus.

The lines mean that whatever bad plans that Cassius and Casca had planned can be turned to their advantage by Brutus in front of the people. Even though the people will get mad and angry after the death of Caesar, Brutus can turn them to their side, like an alchemist can turn anything into gold.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the story of how Julius Caesar was murdered by his trusted aides. Moreover, the future of Rome was left at the hands of numerous 'hopefuls' like Cassius and Brutus and Antony and Octavius on the other, fighting to get the power to rule over Rome.

The given lines are taken from Act I scene iii of the play, spoken by Casca. The lines refer to Brutus, who, according to Casca, is capable of turning the people's hatred into love, acceptable even if it is the worse of all things.

Cassius and Casca were planning to get rid of Caesar and wanted to rope in Brutus, which Cassius reveals "Three parts of him Is ours already". And the things that they planned, however brutal it may be, can be turned around in the people's mindsets by Brutus alone. Like Casca states,

"that which would appear offense in us,

His countenance, like richest alchemy

Will change to virtue and to worthiness".

In chapter 10 find a selva quote that shows he is hopeful

nadya68 [22]

While I was changing my shirt, I d**n near gave my kid sister Phoebe a buzz, though. I certainly felt like talking to her on the phone. Somebody with sense and all. But I couldn't take a chance on giving her a buzz, because she was only a little kid and she wouldn't have been up, let alone anywhere near the phone. I thought of maybe hanging up if my parents answered, but that wouldn't've worked, either. They'd know it was me. My mother always knows it's me. She's psychic. But I certainly wouldn't have minded shooting the cr*p with old Phoebe for a while.
