The correct answer is d) We've chosen two cities to visit: London and Paris

Explanation:

The main purpose of a colon is to introduce a list of elements or a clause that explains a previous sentence. For example, in the sentence "I have three favorite foods: salad, lobster and ice cream" the colon serves to introduce the "three favorite foods". According to this, the colon should be placed after one complete sentence and before a list or an illustration of the sentence.

Thus, the correct option is "We've chosen two cities to visit: London and Paris" because in this case the colon is used to introduce the two cities that were chosen to be visited. Also, the location of this is correct because it is placed after the complete clause "We've chosen two cities to visit" and before a clause that illustrates the first clause.

What statement best summarizes the argument the author makes in order to convince women to “adapt [themselves] to [their] husban
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

I would say the correct answer is D . Without her husband, a woman would lead a life of total misery.

Explanation:

In this passage, Jennings says that <u>both nature and "mankind" have made the man superior to his wife</u>. Some of his rights are "natural", others "acquired", but he has them all and his wife (obviously) none. It follows that a woman is utterly devastated if she chooses not to adapt and even submit to her husband.

This is not a general statement about avoidance of conflict. Nor is it about the man's social connections and influence - Jennings clearly thinks that man's power doesn't stem from social circumstances alone, but from nature too. It's not about women's education (or lack thereof) either. That part is not even mentioned.

Read the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes."
andriy [413]

The answer is:

It shows that she can break the rules for her principles, revealing that women are as capable as men.

According to the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes," Antigone refuses to follow Creon's order not to offer burial to her brother Polynices. The reason is she believes it is the right thing to do and it goes against the God's law. Although her sister Ismene is afraid to disobey men, Antigone is not frightened and is competent enough to give her late brother a proper grave on her own.
