In English, the past is described as "behind" and the future "ahead," whereas in Aymara the past is "ahead" and the future "behi

nd." Research indicates that English speakers sway backward when discussing the past and forward when discussing the future. Conversely, Aymara speakers gesture forward with their hands when discussing the past and backward when discussing the future. These bodily movements, therefore, suggest that the language one speaks affects how one mentally visualizes time.
The linguist's reasoning depends on assuming which of the following?

A. At least some Aymara speakers sway forward when discussing the past and backward when discussing the future.
B. Most people mentally visualize time as running either forward or backward.
C. Not all English and Aymara speakers tend to sway or gesture forward or backward when discussing the present.
D. How people move when discussing the future correlates to some extent with how they mentally visualize time.
E. The researchers also examined the movements of at least some speakers of languages other than English and Aymara discussing the past and the future.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

It is ironic that Romeo compares Juliet to “a snowy dove trooping with crows” when he first sees her at the party because he came to the Masquerade for Rosaline, but the girl that he distinguished easily was Juliet. The previous statement in Scene 2 that this line recalls is when Benevoli stated, “Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.” That quote was about Rosaline and it ended up being true. Romeo saw Juliet and immediately fell in love with her and found her much more beautiful.
