The correct answer is A.

The purpose of this passage is to inform the reader regarding the events of the witch trial. We are told that suspected witches were to be tried using the Scales, and that each suspected witch was first searched to see if they had anything heavy in their pockets.

This passage provides quite a bit of information about the witch trial; it is not trying to persuade, entertain, or debate -- the purpose of this passage is to inform.

1. Here I still sit in disbelief
As my beloved sister forever falls asleep
Perhaps if she had only moved a second before
She would never have knocked on Death's door.
President Snow witnessed the explosions from his mansion up above
Chuckling to himself as he watches the innocent bleed out their lives
The sent of roses and blood is overpowering
It takes all I have not to run away cowering.
I am the Mockingjay, I must be strong
I need to avenge the ones I love
"Goodbye, my sweet Prim," I whisper to my dear sister.
Rising to my feet I fit an arrow to my bow
I will be the one who kills Snow.

How does the mood of the party change as the progresses in The Great Gatsby?​
photoshop1234 [79]

The mood of people begins to shift from lavish to drunken recklessness.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The party thrown by Gatsby is said to introduce the Jazz Age with a huge bang. People from all walks of life and classes are invited to attend the party. The party is extremely lavish as the previous ones organized by him. Making it stand out, Gatsby has a bar with free alcohol for his guests, opposing the prohibition on alcohol consumption in that era. Due to their drunkenness, people are becoming more and more wild and reckless in their activities.

This turns a lavish party into a scene of a carnival.Nick observes that the guests have a lot to say about their host but most of the talk is rumors. None of the guests knows Gatsby and hence the rumors are all types of fuzzy. One such rumor being that Gatsby murdered someone in cold blood.The two groups as described by Nick, the East Eggs and the West Eggs have come together under the same roof despite several differences.

The Englishmen attending the party seem aggressively determined towards what they want and the Americans are depicted as desperate, trying to make contacts in hopes of getting quick money.The drunken state of one guest also leads to an auto accident.

The correct answer is “-Anthony exposes Brutus's folly by showing how Caesar did not seek to be king.”

Indeed, although he uses ironic over repetition of the term “honorable” to describe Brutus and his accomplices, both the context and the excessive repetition indicate that the opposite effect is intended. However, this is more addressed to Brutus’ co-conspirators than to Brutus himself since Brutus did love Caesar since Caesar had been merciful and magnanimous to him. Furthermore, Anthony refers to Brutus, and only to him as “noble”, implying that the company he keeps is not very honorable. And that like “brutish beasts” they have misguided him since he sincerely acted for the good of Rome. And tragically, he has succumbed to such folly since he is “a man that has lost his reason”.
