Answer:

The author uses words such as foundations and trowellings to suggest Oliver's expertise.

Explanation:

Trowels are small flat metal blades with short handles used in scooping mixtures while painting. Oliver made smooth trowellings while building, an indication that he was also a skilled worker. The result of his expertise can be seen in the outcome of the building which was quite good.

Mark had lived in a small city for all of his life, and local people thought of him as a solid citizen.
soldi70 [24.7K]
<span>The correct answer is B, dependable. In this sentence, solid is an adjective describing citizen. Previously, the sentence indicates that Mark has lived in a small city for all of his life. Given the nature of a small city, and his many years spent there, it would make sense that the local population thought of him as a dependable citizen.</span>

Which translation of the passage best explains Macbeth's reasoning for not murdering Duncan?
lina2011 [118]

Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. Macbeth of being made Thane of Cawdor, he writes to his wife about it and that what he has been tempted by the three weird sisters. Being excited about being king, also he is disturbed by "New honors" and the working of the supernatural world where "Nothing is/But what is not."

Macbeth deliberates about killing Duncan in scene 7.

<em>"If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well</em>

<em>It were done quickly...</em>

<em>But this blow</em>

<em>Might be the be-all and end-all--here,</em>

<em>But, here, upon this bank and shoal of time,</em>

<em>We'd jump the life to come..."</em>

Thing that Macbeth is concerned about is regicide being a serious crime and a grievous offense. It can upset the Chain of Being, for whom the king was God's deputy on earth. Macbeth is reluctant to kill King Duncan and he is host to the king and should prevent from any kind of harm to the king. In a fear of being punished by heaven to kill a king who is virtuous, Macbeth decides not to murder Duncan and concludes it as his "vaulting ambition."

Therefore, the passage which best explains Macbeth's reasoning for not murdering Duncan is B.Duncan is such a good and popular king; it would be cruel to kill him and make the country sad.
