Answer: The right answer is the A) Restoration.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that the name of this literary era refers to the period in English history when the monarchy was restored (for the previous eleven years England had not had a king) and a new socio-political order was established. It began in 1660, and it led to significant political, social, and religious changes. The theatres reopened—they had been closed during the previous Puritan government—and new plays and works were created. Restoration literature is very diverse, and it does include lavish, witty and lighthearted comedies that were performed for courtiers and members of the upper class in stunning playhouses. Social criticism, seduction, and infidelity were recurring themes in these plays, and, as a result of that, as well as of the presence of female actresses on stage, references to sexuality were very common. John Dryden (1631–1700) was one of the greatest playwrights of the era.

Write a composition on "dangers of backbiting'. adopt logical division of your ideas
Neporo4naja [7]

The composition of the dangers of backbiting is shown below.

<h3>What is composition?</h3>
  • As it pertains to writing, the phrase composition can characterize writers' decisions about, procedures for developing, and occasionally the end outcome of, a text.

The composition of the dangers of backbiting:

  • Many people do not take backbiting and gossip seriously.
  • We recognize stealing, wrath, and envy as sins right away, yet we frequently dismiss gossip and backbiting as faults.
  • We can backbite so easily that we can do it while thinking.
  • A routine conversation becomes an opportunity to complain or condemn someone.
  • Perhaps we have a bias against someone and secretly want others to share that bias, weaving comments into a conversation to encourage others to agree, "Oh, yes, he's so much like this" or "It's just terrible how she gets away with that."
  • When we backbite, we encourage others to backbite as well.
  • Backbiting has negative results, such as division, dissatisfaction, and suspicion.
  • Backbiting has left an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth.
  • A minor disagreement might grow into a major one, causing a schism between friends.
  • Where formerly there was a clean and pure source, it has become agitated to the point of becoming black and muddy.
