Please, explain this sentence to me: " When the Freudian doctrine of complexes and inhibitions came in, younger members of the f

amily, such as Violet, given to pastels, Christopher, inclining to the stage, and Maud Dartie, nothing if not daring, would speculate on what had happened to Aunt Hester before she was as she was", especially this part: "Violet, given to pastels, Christopher, inclining to the stage". What did author really want to say about Violet and Christopher? It's from Galsworthy's novel "Hester’s Little Tour". This phrase sounds extremely out of place to me. Why would he talk about their personal treats in a sentence dedicated to a strangeness of Hester?
I'm a non-native English speaker, so the more detailed your explanation will be, the better. Thanks in advance!

Hello there!

<span>"Violet, given to pastels," = Violet likes to paint or is a painter.
"Christopher, inclining to the stage" = Christopher likes to be on the stage or is an actor. 
I believe this is what the author was saying about Christopher and Violet.

Hope I helped!</span>

Pastels are drawings, and I believe Aunt Hester has something to do with the drawing. 
To answer "what did author really want to say about Violet and Chris", i would say that Violet is trying to draw Chris (violet, given to pastels literally means drawing, while Chris is the person Violet is drawing).
But im not sure, but i think that Aunt Hester wants Violet to draw Chris, or she is just watching them.


hope this helps

When an author uses the connotative meaning of a word in the text they
zimovet [89]

Answer:

When an author uses the connotative meaning of a word in the text they  <em><u>are showing the feelings or ideas associated</u></em>.

Explanation:

The connotative and denotative meanings of a word are two confusing ways of describing or giving details about something. While the "denotative" meaning refers to the literal definition, dictionary-definition of the word, the "connotative" meaning refers to the use of certain words and phrases related to the word along with the literal meaning.

This means that the connotative meaning is the description of words using the denotative meaning as well as the ideas and feelings attached to it. So, when an author uses the connotative meaning of a word, he/ she is using feelings and ideas related to that word.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

Answer:

10f + 10j = 30

Explanation:

Assume that a free throw is represented by f, and that a Juli throw is represented by j. We can then write a inequality equation as

10f + 10j = 30

Where 30 is the total number of points earned

F is the free throws made, in which each gives or earns one point

J is the jump shots made, in which each gives or earns two points.
