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!

Why do you think that it is important to be responsible while at<br> school?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

It is important to be responsible while at school because what you do during that time not only affects your education and your future, it can affect the education and future of others.

Explanation: When you do things in school with obnoxious or unwanted behavior, enough so, that the teacher has to interrupt class to warn you, you take time out of the lesson, which could leave others to have to study more at home, or stay after class to ask a question. Then those who stay after class take up the next class's time and so on and so forth. Along with that, responsibility doesn't just mean behaving, it means doing the work when it needs to be done. Not doing so can wreck your future. Hence, why it is important to always take into account how your behavior and choices have to be considered during a school day, so as to not poorly affect yours or another's future. Hope this helps :)
