Answer:
Hey! You probably came from the worksheet that asks you to complete the sentence in a way that shows you understand the italicized word. The word that was italicized in this sentence was <em>opulent</em> so I'll tell you what it means to help you out! Opulent's definition is 'rich, luxurious and lavish'. That kind of thing. So you can finish the sentence by describing the port's expensive items and how it was clearly for rich people by the way it was decorated with jewels, gold, etc. I hope this helped you in some way or another :)

Answer: Prisoners is a thinking audience's revenge film -- that is, if moviegoers (particularly parents) can stomach the subject matter. It's long, disturbing, and nerve-wracking to watch, but the performances, the imagery, and the fabulous cinematography (courtesy of 10-time Oscar nominee Roger Deakins) make it worth sitting through all of the angst
Explanation:
Dear Mrs./Ms./Mr. ...
My name is ... and the reason I'm reaching out to you is my belief that people should know about a certain person named ... She lives in a village in India and has recently become a hero for some and an outcast for others.
..., as many other girls in her country, was brought up in a traditional family whose values were taught her, but certainly not accepted without questioning and resistance. She has, even though with little support at first, decided to fight an ancient system she believes to be most unfair.
She has refused to get married in an attempt to protest against the dowry system. She belives it to be a tradition worth letting go of, one that keeps women where they do not belong: below, as someone who not only has the obligation of getting married, but the obligation of paying for it.
... has suffered a great deal and had it not been for some good friends and social media, she might not have had any of the acknowledgment she has now gained.
I believe, however, that more can be done for her through your newspaper. If her story were to be shared and known this way, it might open the doors for her to become an official speaker on behalf of all the women who live under the same circumstances.
I truly hope you'll take my request into consideration. For further information about her, you may contact me at...
Sincerely,
...
