Why does Geoffrey Ashe most likely make the following reference to depictions of biblical scenes in “Conversation with Geoffrey
shutvik [7]

Answer:

b) To prove that artists are not historians

Explanation:

Geoffrey Ashe most likely made the reference in the depiction of biblical scenes because he wanted to prove that artists are not historians.

He made the observation that when you see a painting of an angel appearing to Mary, a window at the back looks like a French chateau which could not have existed in Nazareth.

A chateau is a manor house or where a Lord resides and because a window resembles a chateau in a painting that is supposed to depict the biblical Nazareth, it is likely that the artist that made the painting is a poor student of history.

Geoffrey is of the opinion that artists are not historians (or good students of history) because of the blatant error of putting a French chateau in a painting of Nazareth.

What does the marlin symbolize in the story?
solong [7]

The Marlin fish in the story "the Old Man and The Sea" represents the biggest opponent of Santiago during his excruciating voyage that he ultimately beat but took no credit for that.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the short story "The Old Man and the Sea", Ernest Hemingway has beautifully explained the zest of a human life which is surrounded with numerous challenges and that, the man can prove himself the best and strongest in front of bigger troubles of life even being alone.

Marlin was a big fish in the story that was caught in the fish line of Santiago. being larger in size, it proved to be the toughest opponent for Santiago who kept on holding her for around two days and fort he third day and finally stabbed her on the third day. The fight for pulling Marlin into his yard presents a fair sketch of the troubles faced by common man in his life but he can overcome all of them only when he believed in his strengths.

Can someone help me with a one page essay based on bullying please i am little
icang [17]
Hello, I would love to help you!
So with the topic of bullying you should start out with first defining what it is and the different ways that it occurs and/or can be interrupted. You can go over the different types that bullying is categorized in such as verbal, physical, cyber, etc.  Next you can cover the effects and consequences that bullying result in and how they impact the individuals being bullied and those bullying indivduals. Then lastly I would cover prevention and how to cope with bullying.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation just let me know!!! :)

We consider them the best astronauts in the world
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The correct answer is actually the best astronauts in the world.

Explanation:

An object complement follows a direct object with the purpose of renaming it or stating what it has become. Certain verbs commonly attract object complements, such as to consider, to call, to to create, to make, etc. <u>It is important to remember that the object complement can be a noun, a pronoun, an adjective, or a </u><u>phrase</u><u>.</u> Study the example below:

- We consider them <u>intelligent</u>.

"Them" is the direct object of "consider". It is followed by the adjective "intelligent", which functions as the object complement. Notice that the sentence we are supposed to analyze is similar:

- We consider them <u>the best astronauts in the world</u>.

This time, the object "them" has a whole phrase as its complement, "the best astronauts in the world". It's as if we are answering a question about the object. For the first sentence, what do we consider them? Intelligent. For the second one, what do we consider them? The best astronauts in the world.
