1. Compare and contrast are words that are often used to talk about the similarities and differences between two things or objects.

2. Apart from the difference in their meaning, one struggles to find any differences between the two.

3. According to various dictionaries, compare means ‘to represent things or objects in respect of similarity’ and contrast means ‘to represent things in respect of differences.’

4. If a person is looking at the similarities between two objects or things, then he may be comparing the two. On the other hand, if a person is looking at the dissimilarity between two things or objects, then he may be contrasting the two.

5. Where compare emphasises the similar qualities, contrast emphasises the differences.

6. The word compare has been derived from the Latin word ‘comparare’, which means ‘to liken or to compare.’ The word contrast has been derived from the Latin word ‘contra’ and ‘stare’, which means ‘against’ and ‘to stand.’

Question 4 Unsaved At the end of Act III, what has happened to the four lovers? Question 4 options:
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: Puck has corrected the magic spells so everyone will love the right person.

Explanation:

Puck and Oberon had tried to fix a lover's mess between Lysander, Demetrius, Hermia and Helena but instead only made things worse by enchanting the wrong people.

This leads Lysander and Demetrius to almost fight for Helena's affection and Hermia to storm off after Helena runs from her.

Oberon charges Puck to fix the problem by morning and Puck starts by making Lysander and Demetrius get lost in the woods.

Eventually they all go back to sleep and Puck puts a love potion in Lysander's eye and declares that all will be well in the morning.

What does harper lee expose in chapter 16?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

This chapter begins right after the incident with the Cunningham mob.  Atticus brings the two children home, and Jem is eating a heaping helping of breakfast.  Aunt Alexandra is very unhappy that Scout and Jem snuck out.

Children who slipped out at night were a disgrace to the family.

Atticus said he was right glad his disgraces had come along, but Aunty said, "Nonsense, Mr. Underwood was there all the time." (ch 16)

Atticus feels differently about the incident than his sister.  He feels that Scout and Jem got an important lesson about people’s behavior, and he is also happy that Scout was able to talk to Mr. Cunningham and bring him to his senses, deflating a very tense situation.

The trial has brought many conflicts to the Finch household.  Aunt Alexandra has a very rigid view of behavior, especially children's behavior.  She thinks that Atticus exposes his children to too many things they should not see.  It is not as much their sneaking out that bothers her, but their continuous involvement in all of the unsavory aspects of the trial.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

It normalizes ra_pe and enforces that it is normals for boys/men to ra_pe others and that this is not something that needs to be stopped on the men's side but rather that it is the fault of those getting ra_ped because they weren't careful enough.
