English

Satire is a very potent tool by which Elizabeth, the protagonist gets back at the patriarchal norms in Pride and Prejudice.

Explanation:

Mr Collins is s distant cousin of Mr Bennet. HE is a clergyman and holds enormous property in the Rosing's park, the estate he own because of his patroness Lady Catherine De Bourgh.

He is essentially a buffoon at worst and a lascivious man at best as he tries to use his money to persuade one of the girls of Mr Bennet to marry him  as well as not give them his estate.

The sharp rebuttals he gets from Elizabeth fend him off from her considerably.

Head coverings were probably the first forms of apparel put on by early humans, probably for protection from rain and sun. Hats
alex41 [277]

Question:

Head coverings were probably the first forms of apparel put on by early humans, probably for protection from rain and sun. Hats for men have been considered proper fashion for centuries, but the popularity of hats, aside from baseball caps, declined in the second half of the 20th century. Now, in the early 21st century, the fashionable men's hat is seeing a resurgence in popularity. Led by styles such as the fedora and the panama, men are again choosing to add a "lid" to a stylish outfit when dressing up is required. Men are again finding that the hat is an accessory capable of expressing individuality and taste.

What is the best summary of this passage?

A. After a decline, hats are seeing a resurgence in popularity as part of a fashionable outfit.

B. After being popular for centuries, hats declined in popularity in the last half of the 20th Century.

C. Early humans first used hats to protect themselves from rain and sun, and hat popularity is growing.

D. Hat styles such as the fedora, the panama, and the baseball cap are popular.

Answer:

The best summary for the passage is option A) After a decline, hats are seeing a resurgence in popularity as part of a fashionable outfit.

Explanation:

The reason for that choice is because it hits on the two central points of the paragraph which are:

  1. Initially, head covering were essential due to their functionlity which is protecting the head from sun and rain. But then there was a decline in this practice in the second half of the 20th century
  2. Now the practice is becoming fashionable again

All the other options focus on one side of the story.

Cheers

Ad the passage.
ELEN [110]
<span>His coward lips did from their colour fly,
And that same eye whose bend doth awe the world
Did lose his lustre: I did hear him groan:
Ay, and that tongue of his that bade the Romans
Mark him and write his speeches in their books,
Alas, it cried 'Give me some drink, Titinius,'
As a sick girl. Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.



What is the meaning of the line, "Ay, and that tongue of his that bade the Romans / Mark him and write his speeches in their books"? </span><span>Caesar's powerful speeches impressed the Romans, who recorded them in writing. Based on this quote from Shakespeare this is the logical conclusion of what the Romans thought of Julius Cesar's speeches. </span>
