Read this excerpt from chapter 2 of The Scarlet Letter using comprehension strategies. “Goodwives,” said a hard-featured dame of

fifty, “I’ll tell ye a piece of my mind. It would be greatly for the public behoof, if we women, being of mature age and church-members in good repute, should have the handling of such malefactresses as this Hester Prynne. What think ye, gossips? If the hussy stood up for judgment before us five, that are now here in a knot together, would she come off with such a sentence as the worshipful magistrates have awarded?” What is the meaning of this excerpt? The speaker believes that she and her peers ought to be in charge of assigning sentences in cases like Hester’s. The speaker believes she and her peers ought to be acknowledged for their good standing in the community. The speaker believes that the older women of the church ought to be allowed to serve as magistrates. The speaker believes that the magistrates have been too strict in their handling of Hester’s case.

A. The speaker is saying that she and her peers should be allowed to handle the punishments for people like Hester Prynne. She thinks this because they would band together as a group and be all on the same page in their punishment, rather than leaving it up to the magistrate--whose punishment she does not think adequately fit the crime Hester committed.

In act 4 scene 4, what conclusion does hamlet reach over the course of this speech
pochemuha
<span>Hamlet is still wondering why he has been procrastinating about doing what he knows is his duty, which is to assassinate Claudius and avenge his father's murder. Shakespeare seems to be taking great pains to emphasize that this is the main problem of the play, but he does not offer any definite answer. Therefore, critics have been speculating and debating for centuries about the so-called Hamlet Problem. The fact that Hamlet ends his soliloquy in Act 4, Scene 4 with the words, "O, from this time forth, / My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!" is not convincing. He may have another opportunity to kill Claudius, as he had when he found the King alone and praying, and he may find some reason or reasons for failing to act. Characteristically, he only acts impulsively, when he doesn't have time to think. But thinking is his normal mode. It has been reinforced by many years of deep, solitary study at Wittenberg.</span>

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct answer is B. frame the stories told by individual characters.

The entire Prologue in the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer is there to introduce us to the story and give us the general idea of what is going on. The Prologue gives us the descriptions and the characterizations of all characters in the story who are going to talk about something throughout their voyage. All of them have to tell a story while they are travelling towards the grave of Saint Thomas Becket.

Read these stage directions from Eugene O'Neill's play The Straw.
Alja [10]

Answer:

B: The play takes place over the course of four months.

Explanation:

I'm 95% sure I'm right on this. It can't be A because there are not two scenes in act 3. I don't think it would be C because a Sanatorium isn't just for kids. I don't think it would be D because only one scene actually took place in the Sanatorium, the other scenes were just in the vicinity. I'm pretty sure it's B, but  you can decide if you want to go with that answer. I really, really hope this helps. I'm so very sorry if my answer is wrong. Have a great day and good luck. :D
