English

Bumek [7]3 years ago

Answer:

A. anticipating an objection her audience might have

D. making a counterargument

Explanation:

Virginia Woolf suggested the fictional idea of Shakespeare having an equally gifted sister. Through this, she wanted to show what would happen to her career and would she become as famous as her brother, all of that in order to show that women hadn't had equal opportunities as men, since the Renaissance to the 19th century. She also states that, women's purpose, regarded by society, was to stay at home, be hosewives and take care of the children. That way they couldn't earn money and provide for themselves. That was another obstacle for their career.

Here, in this excrept, we see that Woolf emphasizes the importance of material things in order for one tobecome famous poet. Stating this, she understands that manybwould disagree and she anticipates a potential objection to this claim ("...still you may say that the mind

should rise above such things; and that great poets have often been poor men."). Soon after this, she counterclaims this objection, stating a quoted evidence by Sir Arthur Quiller-Coach, a Professor of Literature ("The poor poet has not in these days, nor has had for two hundred years, a dog's chance...") to support her argument.

Answer:

Don't make so much noise. Noriko <em><u>is trying</u></em> to study for her ESL test!

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the speaker is seen asking or rather ordering the others to not make any noise. And the verb in the blank will be in the present continuous tense, as the act of studying is still an ongoing act.

Considering the verbs in the given sentences, "make" is in the present tense which makes the tense in the next sentence a present tense too. And, the helping verb "is" emphasizes the verb, making the next sentence into a continuous form.

Thus, the final sentence will be

<em>"Don't make so much noise. Noriko </em><u><em>is trying</em></u><em> to study for her ESL test."</em>

ryzh [129]

The popularity of John Fletcher's 1611 adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew suggests that:

  • Even then, audiences wanted to see greater gender equality

<h3>What was the adaptation about?</h3>

"Taming of the Shrew" was a stage comedy that was first written by Williams Shakespeare. It is about Katherine who was considered a Shrew because she did not allow herself to be controlled by men.

Later when she gets married her husband subjects her to tough conditions because of her initial stubbornness.

Its 1611 adaptation by John Fletcher gained wide recognition because people at that time also wanted women to be treated the same as the male gender.
