Mr. Gascoigne  can be characterized with the word <em>pompousness </em>because his politcial talks related to patriotism and national glory. Indeed, pompousness is synonymous with excessive pride and exaggeration. After his talk, upcoming sentence characterizes Colonel Killgrew's traits. His behavior is relevant with the word <em>lust </em>because he was looking to a beautiful woman named Widow Wycherly. The latter is characterized in the beginning of the paragraph. Her character is synonymous with <em>vanity</em>. The widow does not realize that she is not beautiful. And final sentences is about Mr. Medbourne. He is <em>greed</em>y because all he do in this scene is just to calculate the amount of money.

mr Goodwill [35]

          Key thing to think about:

- the rhyme scheme as ABCBBB means that "B" lines will all rhyme with the last word

- I think "16 15 16 15 7" is talking about syllable count, so we need to make sure our first line has 16 syllables, etc

     I am afraid of the water, as it can be scary down deep

     With the unknown terrors lurking beneath the murky, dark blue

     The things we do not know under the surface cause me great dread

     For unless I find out, these unknown frights will be ringing true

     Because I cannot see through

     These great fears of the depths are mighty, and will never go askew

     Thinking about the extensive sea can make me queasy

     The thoughts swirling of it swallowing you up with jaws of darkness

     Your lungs fill quickly with water, unable to breath easy

     Leaves me hugely uneasy

                 (I am not actually afraid of water lol, but there are a lot of words you can use haha! I hope this will work for your assignment!)

Have a nice day!

    I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Answer:

It is through his persuasive abilities that one by one, the other jurors change their initial vote from guilty to not guilty. In the first vote, Juror 8 is the only one to vote not guilty. He does this not because he really feels that the defendant is necessarily innocent, but for another reason altogether.

What is the BEST definition of the word imbibe as it occurs in the sentence Moreover, slaves are like other people, and imbibe p
Yuri [45]

Answer:

A) To accept into the mind.

Explanation:

To imbibe means to accept something, to absorb or assimilate something from others. it also implies the intake of any alcoholic drink.

But, based on the sentence provided in the question, it will be more probable to say that the use of the word "imbibe" in the sentence means to accept into the mind.

The sentence talks of how slaves are like other people, and are accepting forms of prejudices and being prejudiced on others too. The sentence meant to imply that slaves are also taking in their minds, accepting the prejudices they were subjected to.
