Answer:

He can cry.

Explanation:

What the speaker in Sonnet 30 by William Shakespeare mean when he says that he can "drown an eye" is that<em> he can cry</em>. In Sonnet 30 the speaker is looking back on his younger days. He regrets he could not achieve what he wanted and all the wasted time of his youth and that can make him cry, although he is not used to crying. He also regrets the loss of friends that are now dead. But when he thinks of his dear friend he rejoices and his losses are compensated.

Then I can drown<span> my </span>eyes<span>, which are not usually wet from crying, in tears for precious friends who are dead, and I can weep again for hurts in loves that are long since over and moan about the loss of many things I'll never see again.</span>

Read this excerpt from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.
anygoal [31]

Answer: The sentence in the paragraph that demonstrates a tone of superiority is this one: "I was better dress'd than ever while in his service, having a genteel new suit from head to foot, a watch, and my pockets lin'd with near five pounds sterling in silver."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the lines that precede this relate how Franklin, after having lived in Philadelphia for a few months and worked as a printer in the shop of Samuel Keimer, returned to Boston in April of 1724—specifically, although this is not mentioned in the passage, in order to ask his father for financial support to start his own printing business in Philadelphia. Franklin relates how, in spite of the difficult sailing conditions, they arrived safely around two weeks later. It is only at the end when he shows a tone of superiority. He describes how he was dressed when he visited his brother at his printing business, stressing that he was better dressed that day than any other day as his brother's employee, and describing the suit, the watch, and the silver that he carried with him, an appearance that seems to have bothered his brother.
