Answer:

Explanation:                  The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law is an idiomatic antithesis. When one obeys the letter of the law but not the spirit, one is obeying the literal interpretation of the words (the "letter") of the law, but not necessarily the intent of those who wrote the law.

Imagine you were reading a journal written by a woman during the time of the American Civil War. If you wanted to use this as hi
Alika [10]

I would try to find more information about the woman who wrote in the journal. Try to get in her shoes and see her point of view. Once you see her viewpoint and thought process, then you'll be better able to spot any biases she may have. This should lead to a more complete view of the time period in question.

<h3>Answer: B) Find more information about the writer</h3>

In Act 2, scene 3 from "Romeo and Juliet," by William Shakespeare, Friar Lawrence's soliloquy makes reference to the healing effectiveness of herbs and medicinal plants, at the same time they can be poisonous. As a consequence, he suggests that good qualities in nature and in people can lead to destruction if not used in the exact manner. Thus, he foreshadows the tragic death of the lovers.

Need help. first to answer the Question gits branly bun needs to know how
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Aphorism

Explanation:

Anagram is a word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another. I don't think this is it because they is no words that were rearranged.

Aphorism is a pithy observation that contains a general truth. This could be true!

Analogy is a comparison between two things. This is not it because there are not two things being compared.

Allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. This is not it because this sentence is explicit meaning it is very straight foward.

Out of all four of those... I would go with Aphorism.
