Answer:

A. Everyone brings different experiences to the meaning of words.

Explanation:

Every word has a denotative meaning, which is the meaning you find in a dictionary. However, many words have also a <u>connotative meaning, which includes feelings, ideas, and emotions connected to that word</u>.  

<u>Words may have positive or negative connotation based on the social, cultural, and personal experiences of individuals. </u>For example, the words Slim and skinny both mean thin. Slim has positive connotation, but skinny has negative connotation.

Which sentence from “The Most Dangerous Game” suggests Person vs. Environment conflict?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

I guess the answer is option 4 and it shows the conflict between nature and man

Explanation:

In Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game", the story revolves around the protagonist Sanger Rainsford, a famed hunter. After he was stranded in an island owned by Colonel Zaroff, he became the hunted/ prey, thus the reversal of roles. This led to his conflicts in trying to keep himself safe from the barbaric hands of the Colonel who was adamant on killing him for sport.

Conflicts in a story is when one attribute is in opposition against another factor, leading to a difference in opinion and fighting between the two sides.

The case of man versus nature conflict can be seen/ found in the sentence "What perils that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern Rainsford just then."

This sentence is after Rainsford escaped to the forest, eluding the Colonel. He no longer cares what the environment will do to him as long as he is safe from the guns and hands of the Colonel.

Why is Macbeth's demand on the doctor ironic in act 5 scene 3?
vazorg [7]

Answer: Because Lady Macbeth is not sick, she is feeling guilty because of the murders she and Macbeth committed. The doctor can do nothing about it.

Explanation:

Upon hearing the Three witches' prophecy that he would become a king, Macbeth and his wife devise a plan to make it happen. Macbeth murders king Duncan and Banquo, which makes him haunted by guilt. He does become a king, but his life is far different from what he hoped for. Even Lady Macbeth, who had the initiative at the beginning of the play and convinced Macbeth to 'do the deed', gradually becomes weak and frightened. She starts to sleepwalk, see blood on her hands and claims that she will never be able to wash it.

In <em>Act 5, Scene 3</em>, Macbeth demands that the doctor cures her of her delusions. This demand is ironic, in that it is not possible. Lady Macbeth is simply consumed by guilt and is not feeling well because of it. No doctor will ever be able to cure her from her guilt. Macbeth is concerned both because the enemy is getting closer and because of his wife's state of mind, therefore, he cannot accept that his problems are not to be solved over night. He blames the doctor for being unable to help Lady Macbeth, while, in fact, it is only their fault that their plan did not meet their expectations.
