Answer:

I would say the correct answer is D . Without her husband, a woman would lead a life of total misery.

Explanation:

In this passage, Jennings says that <u>both nature and "mankind" have made the man superior to his wife</u>. Some of his rights are "natural", others "acquired", but he has them all and his wife (obviously) none. It follows that a woman is utterly devastated if she chooses not to adapt and even submit to her husband.

This is not a general statement about avoidance of conflict. Nor is it about the man's social connections and influence - Jennings clearly thinks that man's power doesn't stem from social circumstances alone, but from nature too. It's not about women's education (or lack thereof) either. That part is not even mentioned.

In 150 words, describe the key differences and similarities between an ancient Greek theater and an English theater.
Lilit [14]
<span>There are many differences. Greek theater had a chorus, which sang and likely danced. The arrangement of the stage was completely different, featuring a single building with a large entrance on to the stage, a crane to bring divine characters in on a higher level, a dancing area for the chorus, and so on. Actors were all male and performed in masks; there were few actors available for the playwright's use (two or later three could be on stage at a time). Plays were put on at civic/religious festivals, not as standalone productions, and cycles of four plays (three tragedies and a comic satyr play) by the same author were performed. The list could go on for a while</span>

Which correctly identifies the verb and its mood in this sentence?
ss7ja [257]
D is the answer because the verb is dripping due to fact that that's the action and the mood is indicative because indicative means revealing and it reveals that the dripping paintbrush will get paint on you if you're not careful.

Identify whether to use affect or effect in this sentence.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

I chose this because affect means "To have an affect on" while effect means "To change something's thoughts or actions via a belief"

An example of this would be "I went and saw a movie, and it had a effect on me about my thoughts of nature"

Read the sample student paragraph that addresses a counterclaim.
IrinaVladis [17]
Rude. Doesn’t sound like this person is angry. Saying things like “only have themselves to blame.” Is an example of being rude.
