This is true. One of the definitions of "to infer" is to hint or to suggest something and it is something that authors do in stories all the time.

Answer:

The lines that best express themes of alienation and isolation are:

D.I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think they will sing to me.

Explanation:

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is a poem by T. S. Elliot. The speaker is Prufrock himself, a man who is unfulfilled both spiritually and carnally. Prufrock is incapable of interacting socially due to his exacerbated insecurity. He believes he will be judged ugly and dull if he ever chooses to leave his home and talk and dine with other people.

Much of his concern involves women, since they seem unattainable to him. He longs for contact, for a relationship, but can only think of them as impossibly distant. Towards the end of the poem, Prufrock mentions the mermaids, mythological beings who live in the ocean and sing to enchant and attract sailors. Even the mermaids do not sing to Prufrock. He feels so inferior, so undesirable, the even the very beings whose purpose in existing is to sing to men do not want to sing to him. They are, obviously, a representative of the speaker's isolation and alienation, of all the women seen by the speaker as desirable but unreachable.

I want to see people’s opinion on this.

Answer: I would actually disagree on this

Explanation: In America there was a time period where conscientious objectors were ordered by the government to vote. However, their denial to vote brought them severe prison time, torture and opposition. If 16 year olds could vote then people with religious beliefs or who are conscientious objectors would be bullied by political peers and such pressure could obligate them to go against their conscious and norms. From ages 16 to 18 a person is too young to commit the right decisions without a person actually influencing them. A person is capable of thinking for themselves without outward influences when they are about 21 and up. Also, voting is not necessary, it’s simple tradition. It’s a superficial thing, people think they choose the president but in reality it’s the Supreme Court who makes that decision for you. You could fact check that if you attend a civics class or if you directly ask a representative from congress.

50.00 is in tens place.

Example:
14,494 
To round off the height value to the nearest thousand we can use the expanded from to clarity the position of numbers which is: 
10, 000 = ten thousand 
4, 000 = thousands 
400 = hundreds 
90 = tens 
4 = ones 
Here we can notice than four thousand is the value where the nearest thousands is placed. Hence we can round off the number of 14, 494 into 14, 000. Notice 0-4 rounding off rules.
