English
1 answer:
raketka [301]3 years ago
5 0

B: the desire to prove to others that you’re right can lead to extreme actions.

In the story, the lawyer and the banker get into an argument about whether or not life imprisonment would be more humane than capital punishment. The banker challenges the lawyer to a bet stating that the lawyer must remain in isolation for 15 years. To prove that he is right, the lawyer takes the bet. The desire to prove himself correct leads the lawyer to take the extreme action of giving up everything and living a life locked up in solitude.

Fill in the blanks to summarize Hester’s proposal
Sidana [21]

To fill in the blanks summarizing Hester's proposal is as follows:

<h3>1. Jonathan Swift,</h3>

The name of Hester's favorite author can be substituted after the word "about," followed by a comma.

<h3>2. later.</h3>

The other test that Hester will receive takes place later after the successful presentation of her proposal.

<h3>3. of success.</h3>

Hester feels more hopeful of success than she feels before her teacher agrees to her proposal.

Thus, the blanks have been filled to summarize Hester's proposal before her teacher.

Can you give me a 2 sentences for each word; Abase , Abduct, Cherish, and Meticulous?
yan [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

The committee decided that the best way to handle the abasement charge was to investigate it without letting anyone know they were onto it. It was a case where one student abased another.

She was abducted in the middle of the night. She was wearing her elephant pajamas.  Abduct is not a very nice action.

I cherish the present my wife give me. It was a small drone that was easily controlled. She had to think carefully before she bought it. I treasure her care.

He does meticulous work anytime he does carpentry. He always checks twice before making a cut.
