What is the effect of using the word chimerical to describe the powers of the principles of Agrippa?

English
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

I believe the correct answer is: It suggests the principles have the illusion of truth.

 

The effect of using the word chimerical to describe the powers of the principles of Agrippa in the line of Mary Shelly’s novel “Frankenstein”:

“If... my father had taken the pains to explain to me that the principles of Agrippa had been entirely exploded and that... the powers of Agrippa were chimerical... I should certainly have thrown Agrippa aside...”


Victor suggests that the principles have the illusion of truth, as chimera represents the deception or illusion of the mind. He wasn’t satisfied with the knowledge and scientific training he had and he wanted to apply himself to the more “rational theory of chemistry which has resulted from modern discoveries”.

What is the participial phrase in this sentence?
kolbaska11 [484]

answer: C

A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifiers such as an ‘-ing’, ‘-ed’ and so on

in the following sentence The broken vase, purchased by my grandmother, was suddenly falling to the floor, smashing into pieces, the participial phase is ‘purchased by my grandmother’ because you can find that the above phrase has as verbal ending of ‘-ing’. In addition to this it must not be forgotten that a participle phrase will act as an adjective in any sentence

What does the word regardest suggest about the speaker's attitude toward God? The speaker considers God to be very close at all
Alex Ar [27]

It seems the speaker's attitude toward God can be considered that of a sort of long-distance relationship--where they may not interact with God constantly, but think of God quite often who has helped the speaker and whom the speaker greatly appreciates having. The attitude of the speaker toward God generally seems to be positive, grateful, but also remote or distant.

Hope I helped, let me know how my answer did!
