Answer:

A: The shoemaker's bench and tools brought back terrible memories for Dr. Manette.

Explanation:

In Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities", the story revolves around the character of Dr. Alexandre Manette who had been reunited with his daughter after being in captivity for 18 years. The new life that they lead in London after their past life in Paris sets the plot of the story in these two places.

The given passage is from Book 2 chapter VI where Mr. Jarvis Lorry had went to the residence of the Manettes in London. While waiting for the doctor, he walked around the house and 'toured' the house. Once in the bedroom of the doctor, he found that the room <em>"looked the same as it had on the fifth floor of that miserable house near the wine shop in the suburb of Saint Antoine in Paris"</em>. The very last line of the passage shows Mr. Lorry exclaiming why the doctor still <em>"keeps... the reminder of his sufferings about him"</em>, which suggests that they (the shoemaker's bench and tools) bring back terrible memories for the doctor.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

I would say A, because the shoemaker's bench is the last thing referenced before the dialogue. it doesn't really sound like he's concerned abt the wife bc he seemed fond of the stuff that was like a reminder of her (D) and it's not the house that looks the same as paris, just that the shoemaker's bench didn't change (B). idek how to say C is wrong but

Everyman is which of the following (mark all that apply)
andriy [413]
Everyman is both a morality play and an allegory.

It is a morality play because it teaches a lesson about life and the best way to live.

It is an allegory because each character represents an abstract idea. For example, "Goods" literally represents material things -- therefore it is not surprising that material goods are no help to Everyman on his journey.

English 6 EXPLAIN giving brainliest to the correct answer​
Katen [24]

Answer:

B. The weather was frigid in Minnesota; it wasn't warm at all.

Explanation:

An antonym is the opposite word or meaning of a given word. It gives the exact opposite or different meaning of what is implied by a word.

In the context of the word "frigid", the antonym will be "warm, hot, pleasant," etc. And among the given statements, sentence B uses the antonym context of the word "frigid". While the other three statements give the implication of the coldness of Minnesota, the second sentence uses the antonym "warm" to add a different aspect of the coldness of the place.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

In 100 words or less, explain the difference between indirect and direct characterization and provide one example of each.
Drupady [299]
Direct characterization is when an author clearly states in the text what kind of personality the character has. For example, if the author writes " Cidney was always sad" That would be direct characterization. Indirect characterization would be " Cidney always seemed to be frowing or pouting" which would then lead you to believe she's always sad. Both of those examples pretty much mean the same thing exept one is direct and the other is making you infer.
