Answer:

<u>the line comes from W B Yeats' poem 'The Second Coming' </u>and describes the image of the Sphinx to show that civilization can fall to nightmarish proportions.

Explanation:

the second coming is argued to be about the second coming of Christ and a dogmatic nihilistic view that humans are irredeemable depending on who interprets it. <u>the theme however, is redemption and the image that springs up is the fall of order</u>. 'things fall apart' in the earlier lines of the poem.

the lion with the face of man represents the bestiality of mankind in the nightmarish image of a desert that Yeats describes.<u> Sphinx of Egypt is a counterpart in reality, a testament to the fall of a once great civilization. </u>hence, the image serves to show the non divinity of humans and the need to be saved by the second coming of Christ.

Which statements best describe a text with a problem-and-solution structure? Select two options.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The statements that best describe a text with a problem-and-solution structure are:

B. It identifies an issue to be resolved.

D. It contains words such as answer, difficulty, and therefore.

Explanation:

As the name suggests, a problem-and-solution text first presents a problem and its causes and then introduces the author's believed solution(s) to correct that problem.

<u>A text with this type of structure will begin by identifying an issue that must be resolved, that is, the problem. Once it is laid out, the author will explain the problem's causes and the possible answers for it. It is very likely that the word "answer" itself will appear in the text, as well as "difficulty" and "therefore". Those words are common in texts such as these. "Difficulty" may be related to the problem itself or to the implementation of the solution. "Therefore" may introduce a solution or the conclusion of the whole text.</u>
