Answer:

marked by or showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference

Explanation:

Supine means, among other things, 'exhibiting passivity'; therefore, 'lying supinely' would be correctly defined as 'showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference'.

The supporting evidence in the text:

The phrase<em> lying supinely on our backs</em> is linked by the coordinating conjunction <em>and</em>, (which is used to join equal ideas), to the following: <em>hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot.</em> It definitely suggests passivity and indifference.

natulia [17]
Both poems deal with the theme of ideas in the air that are related to the conflicts between belief systems related to romanticism. More or less it is the idea of common sense between spiritual and while Ode to a nightingale focuses on this, A slant of light speaks of oppression that's in the air and a fleeting sense of spiritual.

How can you challenge yourself to be a changemaker?
mel-nik [20]

In order to be a changemaker you have to propose yourself to do it and accomplish it. It's a goal you set yourself and a mindset you must impose to yourself to accomplish. The way to challenge yourself is to start by doing little things. For example: "You want to run 3 miles", so, start by running just 3 blocks. By doing this everyday eventually you will run 3 miles.

Now, to change the world you have to fight constantly. For example: PETA is an organization that helps fight against animal cruelty. They always assist protest, go to the government to be heard and risk their lives for the sake of the animals. The members are also vegan, they know where the produce cones from and decide not to eat or wear anything animal. These steps make sure that at least some animals aren't eaten or being harmed.

Which choice best describes the use of sound devices to reinforce meaning in lines 24–26 of “A Lecture upon the Shadow”?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The sound device shows how helpless love is in relation to time. As time passes, love declines.

Explanation:

The poem talks about the changes that love goes through over the years and how the love of many is diminished and ended over time. Lines 24-26 report this with greater emphasis, through the use of rhymes that impose a musicality and a feeling that time is moving rhythmically. This shows the pressure of time on love, as it reinforces the idea that love can decline if it is not used soon.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Occam's razor

Explanation:

Formulated by the medieval philosopher William of Occam (sometimes spelled Ockham), Occam's Narvalha is a reductionist philosophical, problem-solving principle that distinguishes between equivalent theories and can be used as a technique for formulating theoretical models. In its simplest formulation, Occam's Razor will say that between two theories with equal results, which explain or predict the same phenomena, we must always choose the simplest theory.

Formulated by the medieval philosopher William of Occam (sometimes spelled Ockham), Occam's razor is a reductionist philosophical, problem-solving principle that distinguishes between equivalent theories and can be used as a technique for formulating theoretical models. In its simplest formulation, Occam's Razor will say that between two theories with equal results, which explain or predict the same phenomena, we must always choose the simplest theory. Based on this, we can conclude that the critical thinking that explains the alternative hypothesis shown in the question above about people with "blind vision" is Occam's razor.
