In the character descriptions preceding the play, Jim is described as a "nice, ordinary, young man." He is the emissary from the world of normality. Yet this ordinary and simple person, seemingly out of place with the other characters, plays an important role in the climax of the play.
The audience is forewarned of Jim's character even before he makes his first appearance. Tom tells Amanda that the long-awaited gentleman caller is soon to come. Tom refers to Jim as a plain person, someone over whom there is no need to make a fuss. He earns only slightly more than does Tom and can in no way be compared to the magnificent gentlemen callers that Amanda used to have.
Jim's plainness is seen in his every action. He is interested in sports and does not understand Tom's more illusory ambitions to escape from the warehouse. His conversation shows him to be quite ordinary and plain. Thus, while Jim is the long-awaited gentleman caller, he is not a prize except in Laura's mind.
The ordinary aspect of Jim's character seems to come to life in his conversation with Laura. But it is contact with the ordinary that Laura needs. Thus it is not surprising that the ordinary seems to Laura to be the essence of magnificence. And since Laura had known Jim in high school when he was the all-American boy, she could never bring herself to look on him now in any way other than exceptional. He is the one boy that she has had a crush on. He is her ideal.
The correct answer is complement.
Like you wrote above, to complete is when you make something whole. Complement is something that completes your collection. The bronze statue completed her collection perfectly, which is why it was a good complement. Somebody can give her a compliment on her complement, however, meaning that he or she can praise the statue. :)
Answer:
C) by giving an example of how Mary Beth Tinker did, in fact, disrupt her mathematics class
.
Explanation:
Petitioner John F. Tinker, 15 years of age, and solicitor Christopher Eckhardt, 16 years of age, went to secondary schools in Des Moines, Iowa. Candidate Mary Beth Tinker, John's sister, was a 13-year-old understudy in middle school.
In December 1965, a gathering of grown-ups and understudies in Des Moines held a gathering at the Eckhardt home. The gathering resolved to pitch their complaints to the threats in Vietnam and their help for a détente by wearing dark armbands amid the Christmas season and by fasting on December 16 and New Year's Eve. Candidates and their folks had recently occupied with comparable exercises, and they chose to take part in the program.
The principals of the Des Moines schools wound up mindful of the arrangement to wear armbands. On December 14, 1965, they met and received a strategy that any understudy wearing an armband to class would be approached to expel it, and on the off chance that he declined he would be suspended until he returned without the armband. Candidates knew about the guideline that the school specialists embraced.
On December 16, Mary Beth and Christopher wore dark armbands to their schools. John Tinker wore his armband the following day. They were altogether sent home and suspended from school until they would return without their armbands. They didn't come back to class until after the arranged period for wearing armbands had lapsed - that is, until after New Year's Day.
