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.

How does the writer best develop the idea Ashridge would benefit from renovations
mafiozo [28]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

If Ashridge would benefit from the renovations, the author should develop this idea by showing how that benefit would happen, that is, the author should show what the renovations would do to Ashridge and how it would be good for her, in some way. You will only be able to identify these benefits from reading the text, but it is likely that the author makes it very clear what positive results the renovations will bring to Ashridge.
