<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.

Summarize in two sentences what is read in Act V of Macbeth.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Summary: Act 5, scene 1

At night, in the king’s palace at Dunsinane, a doctor and a gentlewoman discuss Lady Macbeth’s strange habit of sleepwalking. Suddenly, Lady Macbeth enters in a trance with a candle in her hand. Bemoaning the murders of Lady Macduff and Banquo, she seems to see blood on her hands and claims that nothing will ever wash it off. She leaves, and the doctor and gentlewoman marvel at her descent into madness.

Summary: Act 5, scene 2

Outside the castle, a group of Scottish lords discusses the military situation: the English army approaches, led by Malcolm, and the Scottish army will meet them near Birnam Wood, apparently to join forces with them. The “tyrant,” as Lennox and the other lords call Macbeth, has fortified Dunsinane Castle and is making his military preparations in a mad rage.

How should you correct the student’s tense error in the following sentence?
Sophie [7]

After he eats lunch, John will go to the laundromat.

In the second part of the sentence (John will go to the laundromat) the verb (will) is in the future tense. This means that all other verbs must match. "Ate" is in the past tense and therefore must be changed to future "eats"

Hope this helped!
