Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:
With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter.
What idea do the words little and serene suggest in this text?
The idea that humans crave challenges and activity
The idea that human size was insignificant to that of Martians
The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious
The idea that humans were obsessed with small things
Answer:
The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious
Explanation:
The words "little" and "serene" convey a sense of inferiority and lack of importance. They were used in the text to show that men and the actions provoked and carried out by them are unimportant, without depth. These men and their actions were insignificant and oblivious, they were so small that they did not cause any relevant circumstances and for that reason the men presented a serenity, since they knew that they were not provoking anything.
I believe the correct answer is: iambic pentameter.
The first line “Not marble, nor the gilded monuments” of William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet LV” is written in iambic pentameter, the line of verse which consists of five metrical feet, one short (or unstressed) syllable followed by one long (or stressed) syllable. Therefore, every second syllable is emphasized.
Your answer is C.
This is why:
So, Mathilde is very disappointed with how poor she and her husband are. We can tell by how she lusts and longs for the things she cannot afford. She longs to have these nice things, but cannot have them. She longs to be rich, but she is just simply not.
Hope this helps :)
I think that humans are really smart and they are really valuable because they have made it this far. They have invented many thing and every one of us has a good idea about this human value
