The answer is option A (Anglo-Saxon period).

Explanation:

The Anglo-Saxons were a tribe made up of three peoples (the Saxons, the Angles, and the Jutes). They invaded England after the Roman occupation and became the ancestors of the English people.

The Anglo-Saxons spoke Old English from which irregular verbs come from. We say the irregular verbs are native because they existed in Old English.

Irregular verbs change their form when conjugated in different tenses, for example, "begin" (began, begun) and "think" (thought).

Most Irregular verbs derive from native verbs we had since Old english, the verbs that have entered the language after that are mostly regular.

Old English was the early language of the anglo-saxons, in medieval times. So that's the answer, a. the anglo-saxon period.

Airida [17]

In my opinion, those lines are: "Too weak, for all her heart's endeavour, To set its struggling passion free From pride, and vainer ties dissever." At this moment, Porphyria confesses her love for the speaker. But he is on the verge of doubting it because he thinks that she is too weak to give herself entirely to him, and because she is obviously unwilling to cut those "vainer ties". He doesn't really explain what these ties are and why they are vain. Maybe he has low self-confidence and therefore thinks that he is not worthy of her. Anyway, the following lines ("But passion...") function as a counterpoint because she actually gave up a jolly party and came in the stormy night to the cottage just to be with him - which probably means that she really cares about him. But it doesn't neutralize his initial doubt.

The above question refers to "The Life You Save May Be Your Own"

Answer and Explanation:

The moments of grace can be seen in the story when Tom Shiftlet who had nothing, finds a place to stay, a family, a job and a wife who does not care about his financial condition, allowing him to have a peaceful and free life problems and can then live away from the rot of the world, which is something he wants.

However, the intensity of the evil circumstances can be seen when he decides to leave his mentally ill wife and leave without any explanation and leaving her totally unable to take care of herself. At that moment, Tom not only refuses his grace, but allows the evil one to control his actions by doing vile and inhuman things.
