The correct answer is B. dactylic hexameter.



Dactylic hexameter was a popular style of writing during Homer's time. It is a style that is rather elevated, and contributes to the epicness of his poem The Odyssey. Hexameter means that there are 12 syllables in one line (meter contains two syllables, and hexa means 6), whereas a dactyl consists of three syllables (the first one is stressed, the following two are unstressed).

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

it is modern because

Explanation:

The blackness is represented in the story as something to be ashamed of in this story, by including things like his fear of the white man, the way his son interprets things around him, and his uncertainty in regards to the white man’s offer.

Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest. Gwendolen. [To Jack.] Darling! Algernon. [To Cecily.] Darling! [They fall
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

In contrast to reading the scene, seeing the staged version of the scene would improve its aesthetic impact by allowing the audience to <em><u>watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.</u></em>

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's comedy play "The Importance of Being Ernest" revolves around the character of John Worthing and Algernon and the issue of class. The other themes in the play include marriage, social expectations, the ridiculousness or triviality of things deemed important, etc.

In the given excerpt from the play, we can see the scene where the two couples were 'showing affection' to their respective loves but then came Merriman and Lady Bracknell. It was then that the couples had to hurriedly stop their "public display of affection". And <em><u>in contrast to reading this scene, a staged or performed version would improve the aesthetic impact as it will allow the audience to see how the actors/ characters react, adding to the humor of the whole scene.</u></em>

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

"George Washington Carver was an artist long before he became a scientist" explains how
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The first sentence is written in the passive voice, with a passive verb. George is the subject, so what is being done to him is the passive verb. The less passive form of the sentence would be similar to "Mrs. Millholland gave George Washington Carver piano lessons." This is the active verb, since it is being done/has been done by a person rather than a subject being acted on.
