Read the excerpt from the speech “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” by Winston Churchill and answer the question that follows. The

King of the Belgians had called upon us to come to his aid. Had not this Ruler and his Government severed themselves from the Allies, who rescued their country from extinction in the late war, and had they not sought refuge in what was proved to be a fatal neutrality, the French and British Armies might well at the outset have saved not only Belgium but perhaps even Poland. Yet at the last moment, when Belgium was already invaded, King Leopold called upon us to come to his aid, and even at the last moment we came. He and his brave, efficient Army, nearly half a million strong, guarded our left flank and thus kept open our only line of retreat to the sea. Suddenly, without prior consultation, with the least possible notice, without the advice of his Ministers and upon his own personal act, he sent a plenipotentiary to the German Command, surrendered his Army, and exposed our whole flank and means of retreat. Which detail is essential to Churchill’s argument that countries should not remain neutral in the war? A. “French and British Armies might well at the outset have saved not only Belgium but perhaps even Poland.” B. “The King of the Belgians had called upon us to come to his aid” C. “Suddenly, without prior consultation, with the least possible notice . . . [the King] surrendered his Army.” D. “the Allies, who rescued their country [Belgium] from extinction in the late war.”

Mice and Men
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

When Curley's wife came up to them to ask about the whereabouts of her husband, she was met with a derogatory and even accusing manner. The men blamed her for always being out of the house.

This shows the expected way she was supposed to behave and also blamed for the 'disappearance' of Curley. Her opinion doesn't seem to matter to anyone, and everyone seems to believe that she will be happy as long as she stays at home.

Her conversation and getting 'interest' in Lennie in this chapter foreshadows her fate for whatever comes in close contact with Lennie seems to die. Moreover, her 'overarching' need to interfere in the matters of the ranch life, her need to be in the company of these men all lead up to the problems that will come in the next scenes.

Explanation:

John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" revolves around the lives of two men looking for work after the Great Depression. The lives of migrant workers and the conditions that prevail during those times, even though the story occurs within a short time of just 4 days.

In Chapter 4, Curley's wife interrupted the conversation of the men while they were in Crooks' room in the stables. Responding to her question of where Curley might have been, the men replied in a demeaning, derogatory way, which is suggestive of how 'flirty' and 'a bad woman' she was.

By judging the way even the ranch hands think of her, Curley's wife seems to live a life of discomfort, judgment, and controlled by the men around her. When Crooks' advised her to stay in her house, she replied <em>"Think I like to stick in that house  afla time?"</em> This shows her pent-up feelings of what is expected of her and what she really feels.

But at the same time, this scene where she gets too involved in the matters of the men, even despising her own husband to the ranch hands forebodes the tragedy that will befall her. She also 'flirts' with Lennie, which clearly foreshadows her fate, as Lennie seems to 'kill/hurt' whoever/ whatever comes near to him.

earing the dialect in an audio recording of The People Could Fly would likely give readers a better understanding of
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: how certain words are pronounced.

Explanation:

Bad speaking habits accumulate since childhood, which is why it is so complicated to improve diction. Through speech therapy, the main errors that generate "poor or incorrect pronunciation" are worked on.

- Terms or expressions that join incorrectly.

- Consonants who "crawl."

- Words that are modified by omitting a sound or phoneme.

- Monotonous sounds with absence or deformation of some phoneme.

It is fundamental objective, is to exercise every day to gradually achieve the desired end. If you exercise continuously, it will be easier and easier for you to speak in public with eloquence, just as a runner makes the race easier when he has exercised for months.

Record your words

Whether in audio or video, recording and listening to yourself will help you subconsciously improve and correct every detail and every error:

Get a video camera or a sound recorder and record while practicing your speeches.

Listen to your recordings and don't worry about your mistakes. Be confident that you will gradually improve.
