Just finished taking the quiz! Correct answer is, truth

Alexxx [7]3 years ago

Answer:

truth.

Explanation:

The word "avouch" is an old-fashioned word, which means "truth".

In Act 1, Scene 1, two Bernardo, an officer and Marcellus, a watchmen, asks Horatio, a friend of Prince Hamlet, to stand guard with them that night because they have seen the apparition and they want to show him too. But Horatio, do not belie them until he sees that apparition with his very own eyes. In the excerpt the ghost that appears to all three men was the apparition of the deceased King of Denmark.

When, Horatio saw the ghost with his own eyes he believed that it is the ghost of the deceased king. And states:

<em>"Before my God, I might not this believe </em>

<em>Without the sensible and true avouch </em>

<em>Of mine own eyes."</em>

meaning, Horatio would not have believed this (swearing to God), if he truly and sensibly (in his senses) had seen the ghost with his own eyes.

Read this description of the bird in the poem "The Raven." But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door– Perche
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: 2- The poet repeats the word “perched” to show that the raven is threatening to the speaker, and this contributes to the mood of powerlessness in the poem.

Explanation: repetition is a literary device that consists in repeating certain words or phrases in a sentence or paragraph, in order to create an impact in the reader. In the given excerpt from "The Raven" we can see an example of the repetition of the word "perched" this shows that the raven is threatening to the speaker (it is always watching the speaker) and this contributes to the mood of powerlessness in the poem (because the speaker doesn't seem to be able to do something to stop the raven from watching him).

What three things was Fredrick Douglass deprived of as a child that his audience thinks every child should have?
Stells [14]

Three things that Frederick Douglas was deprived of as a child and his audience thinks every child should have are:

The presence of his mother: his master separated him from his mother just after his birth. Because of this, he did not develop familiar feelings towards his mother. He said that, when he knew she had died, she felt the same as if a stranger would have died.

Freedom: He explains how unnatural slavery is and the means by which slave owners distort social bonds and the natural processes of life in order to turn man into slaves.

Sense of personal history: By removing a child from his immediate family, slaveholders destroy his support network and the sense of belonging.
