<span>An oxymoron is a rhetorical device that uses an ostensive self-contradiction to exemplify an oratorical point or to disclose a paradox. So the answer for this question is 1 because her eyes is wide open reading the telegram because of shock but her eyes is closed because of grief.</span>

The correct answer is 1. Helen did not want to face the sad news she received.


Her eyes were wide open because of shock, but she didn't want to face the reality, that her husband is actually gone. She is sad because of this tragedy, and that reflects on her face. She would like to shut her eyes so as not to accept her husband's death, but that is not going away, unfortunately.

Before the field trip to Washington monument the social studies class read about the national Capital study the life of George W
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The plans for Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, always included space reserved for honoring George Washington. But it was not until after Washington's death that funds were raised to begin such an undertaking. The Washington National Monument Society sought both money and designs, with Robert Mills submitting the winning idea.

As a nod to the Society's challenge for a monument that would be 'unparalleled in the world,' Mills looked to the ancient Egyptians, who are world-famous for their architectural achievements. An obelisk is a tapered column that, in an ancient Egyptian symbolism, represents the place from which the world was created. It's symbolically related to the sun and the cycle of rebirth, with attention paid to the obelisk's position on Earth so that the rising and setting sun brighten its top. Obelisks were erected to honor kings and gods, so an obelisk was a fitting choice to show deference to the father of the country.

I think this should be good.
