Read this excerpt from chapter 2 of The Scarlet Letter. Lastly, in lieu of these shifting scenes, came back the rude market-plac

e of the Puritan settlement, with all the townspeople assembled and levelling their stern regards at Hester Prynne,—yes, at herself,—who stood on the scaffold of the pillory, an infant on her arm, and the letter A, in scarlet, fantastically embroidered with gold thread, upon her bosom! What is the effect of the underlined words in this excerpt? They impart a mood of distress and shame. They impart a mood of nostalgia and self-reflection. They provide a visual image of the violent setting. They provide historical insight into the Puritan setting.

Answer: They impart a mood of distress and shame.

Explanation: The underlined words ("yes, at herself") in this excerpt, give the idea of all the shame the people of the market-place of the Puritan settlement demonstrate towards her, while they despised her and gossiped about her and her baby. It also expresses the distress and anguish she felt for the situation she was living.

Why do you think the stalemate continued for so long

<span> World War I changed the face of warfare. It was caught between the old tactics of set-piece battles and gentlemanly tactics and the idea of Total War that was beginning to be used.
Neither side really knew how the new technologies would change the way that war worked, or how high the carnage would be. Defensive weaponry had advanced far beyond that of offensive, so both sides could dig in and hold off large attacks, but neither could really advance very much.
Finally, the mindset of the people had to change. Up until that point, war had been thought by many to be nothing more than a grand game (British troops in the first months marched across the battlefield kicking soccer balls, thinking that it would be fun to win the war, they were slaughtered en masse). That idea was detrimental to running a real war. </span>
