The author is making fun of her voice and says he hears music that sounded better but that he loves her even of that small flaw of hers. does that make sense?

Answer: I don't know if this is a multiple-choice question or not, but the humor device that these lines are using is sarcasm.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that these lines are featured in Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. In this satirical and sarcastic sonnet, the speaker is describing what her mistress is not, and what she does not have, by comparing her "lacking" physiognomy to beautiful things—the sun, coral, gold wires, roses, perfume, a pleasant sound, and so on. In these lines, he is specifically saying that even though he loves to hear her speak, he knows, and he knows it very well, that music has a far more pleasant sound, and he is also saying that he has never seen a goddess walk, making the reader believe that he considers her a goddess, just to conclude by saying that she is obviously not one, since when she walks she literally crushes the ground!

Were the allied countries correct in choosing to refuse Jewish victims refugee status during World War II? What are some reasons
Reil [10]

The allied countries were not correct in choosing to refuse Jewish victims refugee status during World War II. They could have saved some of the Jewish people during the war. The reason could be that they felt that if they gave the Jews a safe haven, their resources would diminish.

Answer:

<em> </em>

<em>State power is widely thought to be coercive. The view that governments must wield force or that their power is necessarily coercive is widespread in contemporary political thought. John Rawls is representative in claiming that (political power is always coercive power backed up by the government(s use of sanctions, for government alone has the authority to use force in upholding its laws.( This belief in the centrality of coercion and force plays an important but not well appreciated role in contemporary political thought. I wish to challenge this belief and the considerations that motivate it. States are not necessarily coercive or coercive (by definition.( Their claimed authority is prior to the force they wield. Legitimate states should need to resort to coercion and force much less than other states, and that fact seems unappreciated in contemporary political thought.Explanation:</em>

What tools can you use to understand words you do not know? How can you tell what sources are good and what sources are not?
liubo4ka [24]
1) Pronunciation - sounding out a word using basic vowel techniques

2) Context clues- use words around a word you don't know to make sense of the meaning ( always work)

3) prior knowledge- use previous experiences with the word to decipher meaning
