Discuss the significance of Mr.douglas brand and the moat [ valley of fear ]

English

Answer:

The significance of Mr. Douglas brand and the moat lies in the cover that Detective Birdy Edwards needs to protect his identity from being discovered by the Scowrers, a murderous secret society that was busted by Edwards in the US.  The moat offers physical protection to the house where Birdy Edwards lives.  So, both Mr. Douglas brand and the moat are shields from the relentless enemies who were after his life after they were released from prison.

Explanation:

The "Valley of Fear" was the fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  It was written about 1914.  It chronicled the events that led to the discovery of Birdy Edwards, a Pinkerton detective in Chicago, who ran to England to escape from the murderous hands of a notorious gang.  He was not aware that the society had members spread over the globe, including Professor Moriarty.  The secret society never forgives and the members never forget.  That is why they traced Edwards to England, though he had earlier disguised his identity by answering Mr. John Douglas and carved out a residence surrounded by a moat for physical protection.

In the canterbury tales, which option best characterizes the pardon-seller?
Firdavs [7]
In the Canterbury Tales, the best option to characterize the Pardon-seller is B. devious.
He is using other people and tricking them by saying that if they buy these pardons, all of their sins will be forgiven, He feels no remorse, and is definitely not naive or charitable - he knows what he's doing and he's doing it for quite a price.

laiz [17]
There is only one sentence which needs a semicolon added to be correct, and that is <span>5) Water is not everywhere it's miles away.
As you can see, the way this sentence is written, something seems wrong - words are just mixed around incoherently. This is why we need a semicolon to make things more accurate: Water is not everywhere; it's miles away. </span>

Different connotation but similar denotation.
Sati [7]

Answer:

A direct specific meaning as distinct from an implied or associated idea comparing a word's denotation with its connotations. Angry and agitated have different denotations. (Angry means full of anger, agitated means stirred up. A person could be agitated because it's their wedding and they are worried things might not go well, but they are not angry). Try looney as opposed to mentally disturbed. Or lazy as opposed to reflective. Or sensitive as opposed to whiny.
