Here is the full passage for this question:

<span>There is likewise another diversion which is only shown before the emperor and the empress, and first minister, upon particular occasions. The emperor lays on the table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is purple, the other yellow, and the third white. These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favor. . . . The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed.
</span>

I think the answer would be: <span>The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

The full passage basically tell the readers about the strange contest that both the emperor and the empress like to conduct. We can see from the third sentence that those who are able to finish emperor's contest will be rewarded with a thread of silk.</span>

What do the underlined sentences in this expert from william dean howells editha reveal about the speaker
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a. She speaks without feeling.

Explanation:

William Dean Howell's short story "Editha" revolves around the character of Editha who forces her fiancé George Gearson, to volunteer in the army. This is her way of trying to make him, or any man, prove their loyalty and courage to get her hand in marriage.

George has no inclination to be a war soldier, but rather he had once wanted to be a minister. And with the news of the upcoming war, George and Editha's opinions of war differs, with Editha supporting it. And so, despite George's reservations about the war, Editha told him she's his, <em>"for time and eternity"</em>. But with that being said, it was more like her want to satisfy her craving for a feminine response, with the narrator revealing<em> "she liked the words; they satisfied her famine for phrases." </em>

This shows Editha did not really speak after considering all possibilities. She was merely acting without any careful thought or feeling.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.
