I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future b

ut by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss.

Answer:

<u> A. To warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation </u>

Explanation:

In this section, the author tries to convince the audience not to judge the British government based on recent or current actions but on its behavior during the last ten years. He or she claims that people will be deceived, betrayed and will suffer again if they put their hopes on the British government: <em>Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss</em>. With these words, the author aims to warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation.

People who like the idea of a plant that traps, kills, and eats meat love Venus Fly Traps. Despite that terrifying idea, the pla
timama [110]

Answer:

To show a contrast

Explanation:

If we look at the statement closely, we will observe that people's idea of the feeding mode of Venus Fly Trap is different from the way the plant actually feeds.

People have the idea that the Venus Fly Trap eats larger animals (meat) whereas it only eats tiny insects. The transition 'despite' as used in the sentence shows a contrast between people's idea of the Venus Fly Trap and its actual feeding mode.

PLZZZZ HELP!!! I NEED AN ESSAY FOR " A Sound of Thunder" and/or Nethergrave Thanks!
Katyanochek1 [597]

The question above is intended to analyze your writing and reading skills. For this reason, it is not right for me to write an essay for you, but I will show you how to write it.

First, you should read "A Sound of Thunder" and "Nethergrave," understanding the two texts and deciding which one is best, in your opinion, and what reasons make you come to that opinion.

After this reading, you can write your essay as follows:

  • Introduction: Present the background information for the story you will present in the essay and then show your thesis statement. The thesis statement is your take on this story, where you will show that it is better than the other.

  • Body: Write two paragraphs. In these paragraphs, you will show the reasons that make you believe that the story you chose is better than the other story. You will have to show information from both texts to verify your arguments.

  • Conclusion: End the essay by showing your final thoughts about the story, summarize your arguments, and reinforce your thesis statement.
