Answer:
Money isn`t as important as health
In this passage from Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, the key word to understand the whole idea of the happenings is: adder, it means snake.
And if you still have doubts about the general idea of the passage and think that the first three options: “King Arthur attempts to slay, or kill, Sir Mordred”. “Sir Mordred fatally wounds King Arthur”.” King Arthur and Sir Mordred are expressing their distrust of each other.” Can be correct, read this sentence:
“and so rode to his party, and Sir Mordred in likewise.”
None of the first three options can be posible if the two of the knights go together to a party afterwards.
The right answer is:
A knight kills a snake with his sword.
Answer:
criticism and detest.
Explanation:
Miss Dulcie treated Annie John with criticism and detest. Annei says that she was treated like a servant who was made to sweep the floor instead of sewing. She also says that Miss Dulcie would always criticize her even though she did exactly what she wanted her to do.
By “the dustheap of my life", the narrator means that she is putting all her anguish over Miss Dulcie behind the past and moving forward in life. "Dustheap of life" is being referred to as bad things that happens in our life which we need to let go.
