Answer:

B. A songbird must have a clean beak to chirp with--no false notes!

Explanation:

Obedience and control is a recurring theme of Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House". Obedience from his wife, Nora and control from himself, Helmer Torvald. The dialogue "A songbird must have a clean beak to chirp with-- no false notes" shows he expects his wife to be clean of any immoral acts. The above lines by Torvald is from Act 1 where he caught Nora lying about Krogstad's visit. Also, the use of "little' shows the dehumanizing of Nora into something that is not of his level, and the animal imagery representative of Nora being conditioned by her husband, losing both her identity and integrity along with it. But ironically, Torvald has no idea of what she has been doing behind his back. Women are expected to be submissive to their husbands and be faithful to their every demands, doing everything without any complains, serving diligently.

Kamila [148]

Answer: D The dark lake represents the evil of Grendel's mother, thus contrasting with the goodness of the Danes.​

Explanation:

Beowulf is a warrior from Geatland who came to rescue the Danes from a monster known as Grendel who had been terrorizing the kingdom every night. Beowulf manages to kill Grendel but is then confronted by Grendel's mother who even though less powerful than her son, is a tougher opponent as she is full of revenge.

Beowulf goes underwater to fight her in a cave at the bottom of a dark lake and upon defeating her, a light shines into the cave. This was meant to imply that Grendel's mother was the evil that had been keeping the cave in darkness but now that she was defeated the light could now come in.
