There is indeed another custom, which I cannot altogether approve of: when the king has a mind to put any of his nobles to death

in a gentle indulgent manner, he commands to have the floor strewn with a certain brown powder of a deadly composition, which being licked up, infallibly kills him in twenty-four hours.
Which setting does the passage above indicate?

the moments between meals in the king’s home

a peaceful afternoon at the home of a noble

the time of execution in the king’s palace

a calm day at a dirt-covered park

The answer to this question is "the time of execution of the king's palace". In the given passage, part of their custom, when somebody commits an unforgivable crime, he will be punished with death. Although, the King does not like this kind of scene on his palace he needs to follow what is needed. He then commanded his men to clean the floor and spread the powder which will be caused to the person after licking it in 24 hours. This kind of death is gentle.

Which of the following statements BEST describes contemporary literature?
denpristay [2]
Some people are saying it's C-Deeply personal.  Although, to be honest, ALL literature is A because it depends on how you interpret it.  That's why we have literature classes and 10 people can write 10 different opinions on what the literature is saying.  Since contemporary simply means the writing written after WWII era, it can range so much, that saying it's deeply personal, in my opinion, is too broad. So I would say A, unless you have something in your reading/lessons that say otherwise, or gives a specific answer.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

1.Not only man but also woman ought to come forward to take vaccines, shouldn't they?

2.Little babies have little dream, haven't they?

3.The jury gave its verdict today, didn't he?

4. John and his brothers used to do it, didn't they?

5.Strong will defeated his frustration, didn't it?

6.Long live our motherland, doesn't it?

7.Fish in the pond, doesn't it?

Explanation:

In English it is common to end sentences with another short phrase, with the opposite sign, which is intended to ask for the opinion or seek the approval of the interlocutor: these are called question tags.

To form this short question we will use the auxiliary of the main phrase and its subject but with the opposite sign. If it had no auxiliary then we would use the auxiliary "to do".

If the sentence is affirmative, the question tag is negative and vice versa.

In the case of the verb "ought" it is allowed to use the auxiliary "should", as the verb "ought" is not that so used. But in the first sentence, it would be ok to use "oughtn't" too.

inessss [21]

Answer: B. it requires only quick fact-checking for an answer.

This is an example of a weak research question because it only requires quick fact-checking in order to obtain the answer. The purpose of research is to contribute to the body of knowledge of a particular branch of study. When designing a research proposal, it is important to consider whether the answers that will be obtained will be a significant contribution to the area of study. Otherwise, it is likely that the research is not worth pursuing.
