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 does churchill invite the house to do
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

In Churchill's "Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat" speech, he invites the House to approve of the war measures he has put into place.

Explanation:

This speech is a famous one given by Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the beginning of WWII. His call "to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us" is now famous in British history.

Specifically, he uses the word invite in the context of "I now invite the House, by the Resolution which stands in my name, to record its approval of the steps taken and to declare its confidence in the new Government."

He has just created a War Cabinet that will hopefully provide strong administration for the nation against the German threat. He is then seeking the government's support of his actions.

Orlov [11]
He compares the poem to the moon, mainly because of the moon's slow, and gracious movement on the sky. According to the poet, "<span>Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves" is the description of how the poem should slowly and carefully flow to the end, just like the moon during a winter night. Poem should be motionless - should capture reader's attention, and entangle him in it completely. </span>
