Alone and palely loitering?

The sedge is wither'd from the lake,

And no birds sing.4

'O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,5

So haggard and so woe-begone?

And the harvest 's done...

Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;

They cried—"La belle Dame sans Merci

Hath thee in thrall!"40

The edited biography of Alexander Fleming is given below. First see the definition of Standard English Conventions.

<h3>What is  Standard English Conventions?</h3>

Standard English Conventions questions focus on some of the most fundamental aspects of writing, such as sentence form, use, and punctuation.

"Conventions" is merely another word for normal procedures and expectations that we adhere to in many aspects of our life.

<h3>What is the revised edition?</h3>

The revised edition is as given below:

It is extremely uncommon to come across someone who alters how others perceive the world. One such person was Alexander Fleming. Before 1928, when Fleming's smart and creative mind developed it, penicillin, a treatment for numerous infections, did not exist.

As a young man, Fleming was very interested in the study of medicine. Under the direction of bacteriologist Almroth Wright, he started his research career in 1906 at St. Mary's Hospital in London, England. During World War I, Fleming dealt with injured troops while serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He discovered that the liquid antiseptics used to treat wounds had a significant negative impact on a person's capacity to combat bacterial infections. He therefore thought that wounds should be kept clean and dry rather than being treated with antiseptics. His suggestions were mainly ignored, though.

Fleming came back to St. Mary's in 1918 and was appointed the department's assistant director. He made an astonishing finding regarding the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, which can result in serious human infections, ten years later, in September 1928. Fleming discovered an unfamiliar mold had grown around the bacteria after leaving it unattended in a petri dish. He was startled to learn through studying the mold that it was a form of antibiotic—a compound that can either kill or stop the growth of germs. Penicillin was given a name by him, and word of its therapeutic efficacy in treating bacterial infections quickly spread. After that, he was successful in stabilizing and purifying penicillin for use by the general population with the aid of scientists from the University of Oxford, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain.

Penicillin's discovery changed medicine and made Alexander Fleming a hero. He was chosen as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1943, and a year later, he was knighted. For the discovery of penicillin and their contributions to medicine, Fleming, Chain, and Florey were given the Nobel Prize in 1945.Later in life, Sir Alexander Fleming published numerous publications in international medical and scientific journals on topics like immunology, chemotherapy, and bacteriology. Fleming passed away in London in 1955, but his legacy is still honored today.

In line 85, it states “back he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky.” What caused the highwayman to be so angry?
kherson [118]

Answer:

The highwayman's anger was caused by the discovery of the death of Bess, the girl he loved.

Explanation:

The poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes tells the story of an unnamed highwayman falling in love with the daughter of an innkeeper. But the betrayal of Tim, the ostler, led Bess, the girl to sacrifice her life to save the highwayman from getting killed by the authorities.

The lines <em>"back he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky"</em> shows his anger at discovering that Bess had been killed while trying to save him. This was her way of making sure that he did not get captured and then tortured by the authorities, thereby showing her love for him. Thus, <u>the anger in him was a result of knowing Bess, his lover, had died at the hands of the authorities who were waiting for him.</u>
