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.

What differences and similarities do you see between the spartan and athenians governments?
nikdorinn [45]

Similarity

  1. Governance
  2. Military strength
  3. Social Gatherings

Difference

  1. Lifestyle
  2. Political ideology
  3. Feminism

Explanation:

Athens and Sparta were similar in the following respect

  1. Governance- Both of these modern states had a democratic assembly to govern. While Sparta was ruled by two kings, Athens was ruled by Archons elected annually.
  2. Military strengths- Both the states were upholding a formidable bundle of military strength. While Sparta excelled in the land-based army, Athenians were known for their military might.
  3. Social gatherings- Both states encouraged social gatherings and admitted only men in such gatherings.

Athens and Sparta held striking dissimilarities too. Some of them are-

  • Lifestyle- While Athens had a creative lifestyle. This included good education, pursuing arts, humanities or even sciences. People had the option to serve in the army while girls were involved in other pleasure pursuits. While Sparta lifestyle was utterly simple. The prime focus was on obedience and war pursuits. Ongoing slavery freed the young lads from household chores and got them involved in war pursuits. Young boys were taught to be warriors and warriors were eulogised.
  • Political ideology- While Sparta desired to support neighbouring Greek states during the times of need, Athenian were desirous of an increased stake in government in the neighbouring states. This eventually led to the war among all Greek states. However, after winning the war, Sparta allowed the liveliness of Athens to remain in the form of its culture, literature and other soft power.
  • Feminism- Spartan women were prohibited from wearing from any cosmetics, makeup, jewellery. They were judged more on their physical build than on their innate beauty. While Athenian women were famous for their beauty and cosmetics. Makeup was part of an Athenian feminine lifestyle. Physical training was not commonly practised by women.

Which law used in rome has been adapted by western democratic governments?
arsen [322]

Answer:

Roman Law

Explanation:

Roman law is a legal-historical term that refers originally to the set of legal rules observed in the city of Rome and later to the body of law applied to the territory of the Roman Empire and, after the fall of the Roman Empire of the West in 476 AD, to the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. Even after 476, Roman law continued to influence the legal systems of the Western kingdoms. A systematic study of the Roman Law in the post-Roman West, though, would await the so-called rediscovery of the Civil Law Body by Italian jurists in the twelfth century.
