ny countries in subjection . . . Or more presumptuous by predilection Than Holofernes. Fortune ever fair Kissed him and with such a lecherous affection He lost his head before he was aware. It was not only that he made a wraith Of the world's wealth and plundered liberty, He made his enemies renounce their faith: . . . . . . Judith, a woman, had the strength to smite. Off went his sleepy head and from the tent She crept away before the morning light . . . Which statement best describes the two themes developed in this passage?

The perfect statement that best describes the passage is "<span>Fortune ever fair Kissed him and with such a lecherous affection He lost his head before he was aware." Which means that the main character had taken advantage of his fortune, and the hardwork he put up into. He led a life filled with mindless decisions which led the down fall of his pride and his fortune. </span>

I NEED HELP! CAN SOMEONE CALL THE COPS PLEASE ITS SERIOUS, I CANT GET TO A PHONE
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If you are in trouble, you wouldn't be asking people on brainly for help. No one knows where you live, so if we were to call the cops, what would we even say. Plus, how did you ask for help here if you have no way of contacting people. If you need help, you wouldn't have time to ask people on a school site. You shouldn't play with peoples feelings. If you actually need help, sorry, maybe someone else can help.

Explanation: EDITED

Ok, so you "do need help and are not joking". Ok. I'll accept that that is true, but we still cannot help you. The only thing we can do is give support. I'm sorry if you are actually going through this. I cant imagine how hard it must be. But if you are lying, no one will ever take you seriously again. THIS IS NOT A TOPIC TO BE JOKING AROUND ABOUT. IT IS SERIOUS. So in short, if you are telling the truth, we are sorry for you and we support you, but there is nothing we can do. And if you are lying, you should be ashamed.

And, again, I don't want to be rude. I just want you, and others to understand. Maybe try getting in touch with a teacher next time you do school (in person or online)
