The correct answer is:

I. Details in the story

II. Historical context.

Explanation:

An author's purpose is the main reason why an author decided to write, it is the main objective of the author and it can be to inform, entertain, persuade or to explain. The purpose of an author can be found by details in the story such as information and facts or in a historical context that helps understand, explain and inform the reader about a specific topic.

How is guilt presented in Macbeth
solniwko [45]
In Shakespeare's Macbeth, guilt is represented by the presence or symbol of blood. Macbeth, after going back and forth on whether or not to kill Duncan, eventually decides to do it. Very quickly after his murder, Macbeth feels guilty, especially when he looks down at his hands. He questions whether or not he will ever be able to wash away the blood (guilt). "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood/Clean from my hand? Interestingly, Lady Macbeth feels no such guilt or remorse... at first. Her guilt is also symbolized through her visions of blood on her hands and clothes. "Our, ------- spot!" She keeps imagining blood on her hands and her guilt is driving her crazy. "Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him." While Lady Macbeth's guilt increases as the play progresses, Macbeth's gets less and less. It must be since he basically begins killing anybody that stands in his way. He even kills his own friend Banquo. Even then, though, the blood/guilt motif is set before the reader again with the line "blood will have blood."

If I were you I would use direct quotes from the book or whatever you are reading. Direct quotes give evidence from the text and prove points. You may also use line numbers if instructed by your teachers.

Answer:

Explanation:

That or is the key word. Either one works providing learning takes place. Much depends on the student. If left on his/her own, will they sit and learn the material or will they waste time by wining how difficult the material is or how much they need to finish applying nail polish or day dream about tonight's date.

Having established that the student is capable of learning and wants to and has a goal, for that kind of person, no choice need be made. Either will work. If the student has curiosity, then perhaps home schooling is best. That student can be left to pursue his own interests.

If the student is goal orientated, like he/she wants to be an engineer, then the classroom is the best setting, because only specific pieces of knowledge may be needed.

I was a classroom teacher for 43 years. It doesn't take much to persuade me which choice should be made: everything depends on the student and what is best for them.
