The correct answer is, <em>the two phrases that are oxymorons in this excerpt from Alexander Pope’s “An Essay on Criticism” are: </em>

The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read, / With loads of learned lumber in his head.

The term oxymoron means that there are contradictory terms in a phrase or that there are contradictory words. In this case, the oxymorons in the text are “The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read, / With loads of learned lumber in his head.” Bookful could be interpreted as intelligent, while Blockhead as a fool. “Ignorantly” means that he does not know or is not aware, and “red/learned,” meaning that he knows, he is aware. Those are the oxymorons.

“An Essay on Criticism” is one of the best poems written by the English writer Alexander Pope in 1711.

"The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read with Loads of Learned Lumber in his Head" is an example of an oxymoron. Especially the part when he says ignorantly read.

An oxymoron means that you are coupling two words or phrases that are so opposite it is absurd to pair them.

.x Justifica por qué el fragmento anterior es parte de un texto dramático.
Rudik [331]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, se te olvidó anexar el texto o el fragmento para poderlo leer y responder tus preguntas.

Sin el texto/fragmento, ¿Cómo quieres que sepamos de lo que se trata?

Sin embargo, tratando de ayudarte hicimos una investigación exhaustiva y podemos comentarte lo siguiente.

-Justifica por qué el fragmento anterior es parte de un texto dramático.

Porque tanto el "Varón de Rabinal" y el "Varón de los Queche," hacen referencias dramáticas a historias de poder, control y autoridad de los personajes principales.

-Caracteriza los personajes.

Sus características retratan personas autoritarias, de carácter sumamente fuerte, pudiéramos decir, agresivas. Parecieran ser rudos, tratando de imponer sus condiciones.

-Transcribe una o dos frases en las que se haga alusión al mundo terrenal de los mayas.

"Acércate, jefe violentador, jefe deshonesto. / ¿Será el único a quien no acabaré por cortar la raíz, el tronco, ese jefe de los Chacach, de los Zaman, el Caük de Rabinal?”

-Escribe tu opinión acerca del desarrollo literario del teatro en la época precolombina.

Mi opinión es que se trata de un teatro que buscaba retratar la realidad social y militar de la época Mesoamericana. Una realidad en la que los poderosos imperios Maya o Azteca se basaban en la guerra, la conquista, la expansión, el sometimiento de sus enemigos y la captura de personas para convertirlos en esclavos o sirvientes.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was rendered moot, or legally useless, by
klemol [59]

Answer:

Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise of the US Constitutional Convention is an agreement between the Northern and Southern states of America regarding the manner of population count that needs to be done for the basis of taxation and determining representation in the House of Representatives. This agreement is famous for its decision to count only three-fifths of the slave population for the population count.

This agreement not only wrongly number the slave population thereby leading to lesser representation in the House, but it also prevents landowners from paying the full tax on their property as only three-fifths of their slaves were accounted for.

This <u>Compromise was later rendered moot or useless by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution in its Section 2</u>. As Section 2 of the Amendment states <em>"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed." </em>
