Answer:
c. the revelation of how Macduff was born
d. the news that soldiers carrying boughs from Birnam Wood are approaching
Explanation:
Shakespeare's famous play, <em>Macbeth</em>, is a story about the Scottish general, his attempt to become a king and preserve the position. Macbeth is told by the three witches that no man born of woman will be able to harm him, as well as that he is safe until Birnam wood starts moving. Macbeth believes in what they say, ensured that his position as a king could not be compromised. However, towards the end of the play, Malcolm and his army are approaching the castle, camouflaged with the trees from the forest, and Macbeth realizes that he has been misled by the witches' prophecy. This becomes even more clear on the battlefield, when he finds out that Macduff was born by Caesarean section - he was not, in fact, "of woman born."
Both B and D are correct forms - the last comma is optional.
I would use probably use a comma here because the brothers' tasks are so diverse. However, I am not forced to use it - it is optional.
I would not use it here:
I am considering a HP, Dell and Lenovo as possibilities for my next computer.
(Because they are not diverse - they are all brands of computers).
What's wrong with A - It sound as if your brothers dropped the dishes as they took them out of the dishwasher and had to clean up all those broken washed dishes.
C is wrong because of the unecessary common after the "and".
Answer: It is ironic that the same fire that is a threat to Ralph's life actually prevents him from dying.
Explanation:
In <em>Lord of the Files</em> (1954), William Golding tells a story about the British boys who find themselves on a desert island.
At the end of the novel, it is Ralph's intention to create a signal fire so that the rescuers notice them. However, the fire that Jack sets rages and spreads through the forest. Jack's plan is to kill Ralph with the smoke from the fire. Instead of a sign used to attract attention, the fire thus becomes a danger to Ralph's life. The fire ultimately saves the boys, but the irony is that the fire that Jack set to kill Ralph actually saved him from dying, as they got rescued.
