gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

- Signal listening.

Explanation:

As per the question, all the given options exemplify ineffective listening styles except for the 'signal listening' as it employs verbal signals to convey a particular idea or message to the readers effectively that the author repeatedly mentions in the text. These signals assist the readers to listen attentively/actively and understand the intended idea productively that would aid to elicit desired response/outcome from them.

Read the last stanza of Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken.” Why is it significant that the two roads diverged?
dexar [7]

Answer:

A. The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less traveled of the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author talks about life through a metaphor. He describes life as a walk through the forest, in which a person has to decide what path he or she wants to take. The author reflects on the difficulty of making that choice. He also realizes that his life turned out to be a certain way because he chose a certain path. The two paths represent the possible choices people can make in life, and the impact that these have in determining their future.

The excerpts conflict because the first suggests that life, liberty, and happiness are basic rights, while the second suggests t
maxonik [38]

This question is missing the excerpts. I was able to find the complete question online. The excerpts are the following:

Mr. Luther King Jr.: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness."

Governor George Wallace's inaugural speech: "We invite the negro citizens of Alabama to work with us from his separate racial station . . . as we will work with him . . . to develop, to grow in individual freedom and enrichment."

Answer:

The excerpts conflict because:

B. the first suggests that all are born with equal rights, while the second suggests that certain citizens need to be separated in order to become equal.

Explanation:

While Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states that all men, independently of race, are born equal, Governor George Wallace states the opposite. According to him, black people can work with white people, only separately. He claims that there is equality and freedom in segregation, which we all know to be impossible. As we can see, the two excerpts present conflicting ideas. The first defies segregation while the second tries to justify it and maintain it. Having that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option.

Explain Virginia Woolf’s views of the relevancy of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Do you agree or disagree with Woolf’s commentar
ehidna [41]

Answer:

For Vírginia Woolf, Jane Eyer's relevance is related to the character's refusal to submit to the standards that English society intended for women.

Explanation:

Vírginia Woolf defended that the narrative proposed by Charlotte Brontë, in Jane Eyre reports the difficulties that women faced because of the way in which English society defines the role of women, in relation to marriage, to studies, submission to the control of their own voda . Vírginia believes that the relevance of this work is established by Jane's refusal to follow the standards of submission and take care of herself, based on her intellect and not on the protection of a man, or anyone else.

Víginia defends the existence of a character, woman, strong, independent and owner of herself, written in a time of great repression against women.
