5 0

Answer: It describes the event as one that was bound to happen.

Explanation:

The story <em>"The guilty party" </em>is about a girl named Liz. It was written by O. Henry, a writer famous for his short stories which often have a surprising ending. The story deals with Liz's obligation to get married.

Paragraph 40 describes the event in the luck of Liz. Liz is the girl in a green silk skirt, and she cannot escape her fate - she has to get married, and there is no possible way to change it. This is why the author includes a word play to refer to this event, and describes Liz as <em>"Fate in a green silk skirt."</em>

With respect to "requisite", Cambridge dictionary states that it is an adjective which means "necessary or needed for a particular purpose". As you can see, "necessary" is part of the definition of "requisite".

Finally, "propagate" is defined as "to spread opinions, lies, or beliefs among a lot of people". As you can see, "spread" is part of the definition of "propagate".

Prevalent: Widespread

Requisite: Necessary

Propagate: Spread

Quickwrite 3: How do children and young adults learn what is
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Various psychological studies have shown that our behavior is influenced by the society we live in and is also shaped by the people we interact with. A child starts to learn how he/she shall behave by looking at other people of the society such as his parents, neighbors, relatives etc.

If a person opposes the norms of a society or behaves in an way which is not common in the society, then he/she is treated in a criticizing way. Such a person will be bullied by every other person and under crucial circumstances may also be told to leave a society.

Before the war, what did the U.S. government want to do about slavery? A. Expand it B. Ignore it C. Outlaw it D. Restrict it

I would say D. Restrict it because the north of the U.S. had no slavery while the south did so they kinda restricted it to only being allowed in the south.
