Read the following passage from Defoe's Robinson Crusoe: I gave humble and hearty thanks, that God had been pleased to discover

Answer:

I believe the word that best illustrates Crusoe's attitude toward the island is:

D. Contented

Explanation:

The major theme in the novel "Robinson Crusoe" is contentment vs desire/ambition. Crusoe is an ambitious man. He is never contented with what he has or where he is. He craves for more, which leads him to adventures. However, at a certain point, his ambition ends up casting him away to a desert island, where he has to develop skills to survive. He is now far from any sort of comfort or company, having to fend for himself and learn the tricks of nature.

<u>After two years in the island, Crusoe has happily accepted his situation. That is what "contented" means. He is satisfied with the life he has, and seemed to have abandoned the hope of being rescued and taken back to society. A person who is satisfied, who accepts what they have, who feels happy and at ease about it, is contented.</u>

Note: joyful is also related to being happy. It means causing or expressing great happiness. We can see in the excerpt that Crusoe is not really joyful. He expresses a calm happiness. He is not delighted about his situation as he would be if it were something he truly wished. He accepts that it is what it is, and he is satisfied with it.

The ShireBilbo’s adventure in “The Hobbit” begins and ends in his hometown, the Shire. This area of Middle Earth conveys the comforts of home with its charming rustic architecture, pleasant climate, fertile land and friendly neighbors. While the pastoral land seems like a utopia for those who like the status quo, it’s also a symbol of an insulated and withdrawn life, according to the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's "The Hobbit: An Educator's Guide." While Bilbo feels comfortable and secure with his life at Bag End in the Shire, he knows that there’s more to the world than his quiet existence.Valley of the ElvesRivendell within the Valley of the Elves is a sanctuary for Bilbo, Gandalf and the dwarves. Security contrasts with insecurity in the sheltered valley as the Misty Mountains, which the travelers must cross, overshadows the land. Rivendell becomes a symbol of wisdom, protection and security for the group because it’s the place that resupplies them and gives them essential information for the journey ahead, and because it's the origin of the enchanted objects and friends who rescue the travelers in times of need. With all the horrors that exist in Middle Earth, the tranquil, serene setting in Rivendell gives the travelers -- particularly Bilbo and Gandalf -- much-needed respite and restoration.Mirkwood ForestThe travelers in “The Hobbit” must cross Mirkwood’s enchanted forest to reach the Lonely Mountain. The strange enchantments, dark surroundings, tall trees, giant spiders and goblins provide a setting that creates a turning point for Bilbo and the dwarves, as they must choose to travel on a difficult road or a dark elf trail. It is in this forest that Bilbo learns how much courage he truly possesses, even after facing the goblins at the Moon Patch Clearing, as he must battle spiders to rescue his companions from the constricting webs and then the Elvenking. Bilbo emerges from Mirkwood a new person. The setting in Mirkwood humbles the dwarves, who discover their vulnerabilities and realize that they can and must have faith in the bravery and ingenuity of their small Hobbit comrade.The Lonely MountainTolkien writes that the cliffs on Lonely Mountain are tall and grim, and that danger lurks in every rock. In addition to being dangerous and scary, the mountain is a fortress that seems impossible to penetrate. The language used to describe the settings within the mountain creates a sense of fear, suspense and threat as, once again, the travelers find that they have to rely on Bilbo to retrieve the Arkenstone, a dwarf heirloom from Thorin’s dynasty. Just as Smaug the dragon greedily guards his treasure, Thorin and the other dwarves reveal how greedily they lust after it. The dark winding tunnels and the Battle of Five Armies make Lonely Mountain the complete opposite of the Shire, driving home to readers how much Bilbo has changed during his travels.Sponsored links

Help me with this gerund infinitive quiz.
laiz [17]

We can complete the sentences with the appropriate gerund, infinitive and preposition making use of our knowledge of collocations, as explained below.

  1. Studying
  2. Bringing
  3. Waiting
  4. To go
  5. Relaxing
  6. about
  7. on
  8. to not send
  9. to drinking
  10. to going to

<h3>What are collocations?</h3>

Collocations are words or phrases that are often used together. For example, the phrase "look forward" is followed by "to" and a verb in the gerund. Thus, "look forward to ...-ing" is a collocation.

The good thing about collocations is that they sound right or natural. If you say something it sounds off, that means the collocation is wrong. For example, saying "worried in" does not sound okay. The correct collocation would be "worried about."

Taking that into consideration, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.

What is high level language ?<br>​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live the more you will realize that the only things that exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. Listen. Everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace imitates wars. And hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses, casual relationships that cannot be separated normally.”
