Answer:

The meaning of this excerpt is:

A) The speaker believes that she and her peers ought to be in charge of assigning sentences in cases like Hester’s.

Explanation:

Hester Prynne is the main character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter", published in 1850. The story is set in Puritan Boston, in the 1600s. <u>Hester has a child as a result of an affair, which leads to her being publicly humiliated. She is forced to wear a scarlet A in her chest, as a sign of her sin - adultery. Still, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, there are those who think of this as a light sentence. The woman who is speaking believes matters such as the one involving Hester should fall into her own hands and the hands of other pious women. They should be the ones punishing, choosing the sentence of women like Hester. </u>

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Explanation:

1. Family

In this excerpt, the boys are talking about a possible consequence for people who reveal the secrets. They decide that killing families would be a great deterrent. However, they realize Huck doesn't have any family worth killing. This shows how important family is to the characters and how little Huck's father was valued in society.

2. Deception

In the excerpt, Helmer talks about how Krogstad had to use a "cunning trick" and "how he has to wear a mask". These are all indicators of deception. Deception is a lie or a trick.

3. gender differences

Helmer says, "no man would sacrifice his honor." Nora says, "It is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done." In this excerpt, they are showing the differences between a man and a woman.

4. Supernatural beliefs

In this excerpt, the speaker is comparing a sound a ghost makes. He also talks about getting some bad luck. Then does a few actions that would hopefully ward off any evil coming his way. The superstitious nature of his behavior is evidence of supernatural beliefs.

Which statement best identifies the textual evidence that supports this conclusion? Anger often clouds a person's judgment.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is actually the first option: When an argument is over, how many weighty reasons does a man recollect which his heat and violence made him utterly forget?

Explanation:

We are looking for textual evidence to support the conclusion that anger clouds a person't judgment. The only option that does so is the first one. To cloud one's judgment is an expression that refers to something's capacity to prevent someone from thinking clearly. For instance, getting drunk is often associated with clouding someone's judgment, since drunk people are often unable to think properly, and end up making wrong choices.

The first option supports the claim that anger prevents people from thinking clearly. After anger has subsided, when we are able to think calmly and reasonably again, we remember reasons, facts, information that were impossible to recollect while being angry. An angry person, thus, is only able to focus on the cause of their anger, but cannot see the bigger picture.
