Which line in this excerpt from "The Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope suggests that women in eighteenth-century England were

expected to readily accept proposals from rich gentlemen without much opposition?

What mighty contests rise from trivial things,
I sing — This verse to Caryl, Muse! is due:
This, ev'n Belinda may vouchsafe to view:

[Slight is the subject, but not so the praise,]

If She inspire, and He approve my lays.

[Say what strange motive, Goddess! could compel
A well-bred Lord t' assault a gentle Belle?]

[O say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
Could make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?]

[In tasks so bold, can little men engage,
And in soft bosoms dwells such mighty Rage?]

The correct answer is:
<span>[O say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
Could make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?]

The poet is wondering why a girl would ever reject a man who is hitting on her and wants to marry her. It is implied that women had no say in this - that their marriage depended solely on the man and that they couldn't choose at all. The entire poem is quite satirical and meant to mock these kinds of ideas and behaviors.

Why does the green door appear to Wallace when it does?
IrinaK [193]

The green door appeared to Wallace when it does as it reminded him of a place that he can escape to and where he'll find happiness.

The green door in the story represented the passageway between the conscious and the unconscious. Anytime Wallace entered the <em>green door,</em> he felt a sense of happiness and well-being.

When Wallace woke up, he was back on the miserable streets of West Kensington. The door was a source of hope and happiness to Wallace.

What is the central idea of the letter to the editor?
Tatiana [17]

I would think its D. because in the story "Letter to the editor" How are mixed-use areas different from what we have now? Let me tell you. Our city currently has a dense downtown area and then a massive amount of sprawl reaching out in every direction—the sprawl takes up seventy-five percent of the city’s land. Urban sprawl, the spreading of large developments of housing and shopping areas around a city’s center, has many negative cultural and environmental effects. Sprawl increases traffic congestion along highways. The residents who live in these faraway suburbs often work downtown, where the majority of businesses are still located. They have to undertake long commutes to and from work every day, which limits their time with family and friends and increases their time alone on the road. These longer commutes also result in increased air pollution that can lead to smog problems for the city.
