Read the passage and answer the question. [1620] . . . so as there died sometimes two or three of a day, in the foresaid time; t

hat of one hundred and odd persons, scarce fifty remained. And of these in the time of most distress, there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health, fetched them wood, made them fires, dressed them meat, made their beds, washed their loathsome clothes, clothed and unclothed them; in a word, did all the homely and necessary offices for them which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hear named; and all this willingly and cheerfully, without any grudging in the least, showing herein their true love unto their friends and brethren.

Most of the above passage includes descriptions of the tasks that the caretakers did for the sick, but if you look where Bradford first mentions those caretakers, you can see just how he feels about them. This phrase, "there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health" holds the key. If you look closely at this phrase, Bradford describes how many people acted as caretakers (six or seven) and includes a single word, "commendations," that means praise. To suggests they deserve "great commendations" tells the reader that Bradford feels like these caretakers deserve the highest praise for what they do. My answer, then, would be the word "commendations."

Answer:

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three sentences in the passage are:

-And of these in the times of mort distress, there were but six or seven sound persons who, to their great commendations be it spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with the abundance of toil..."

-"Yet the Lord so upheld these persons, as in this general calamity they were not all infected either with sickness or lameness."

-"And I doubt not but their recompense is with the Lord.

That's what the beliefs were at the Plymouth Colony, in Massachusets. This colony followed strict religious rules. They had been persecuted in Greta Britain by the Church of England, and that is why they decided to leave Britain to avoid religious persecution and establish in North America to found a new place where they could practice their religious teaching.

1.What particular connotations of the word “yellow” is Frost using in the phrase “in a yellow wood”? Why does he write this way
Oksana_A [137]

This question is about the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

1. The word "yellow" was used at the beginning of the poem to characterize the environment in which the speaker is located. In stating that the forest was yellow (instead of adopting adjectives that characterize the forest), the speaker shows how the environment, where two paths were placed for him to choose, was uniform and stable, pleasant.

2. Frost does not make this change any clearer, because he wishes that during the reading of the first three stanzas, the reader recognizes himself within the speaker that he needs to make a choice at the present time, now, making the poem more thought-provoking and exciting, than revealing that the choice has already happened. This happens, because before we know that the poem portrays a memory of the speaker, we have unpredictability as an influential point in reading.

3. Frost is not being honest with the reader, because he does not reveal whether his choice was pleasurable, or whether he took him to dark places that promote discomfort. With that, he is maintaining unpredictability and showing that we will never be sure if the result of our choices was positive.
