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.

KonstantinChe [14]
Donne is using both personification and apostrophe in these lines. He is using apostrophe when he speaks to death as though it were a person who could hear it and respond to him. he also personifies death as if it were a person who could feel proud or be "mighty" and "dreadful".

Read the sentence.

Themselves

This reflexive pronoun is the best fit because it needs to agree with the antecedent--in this case "scholars". Because scholars is plural, the pronoun also needs to be plural. Themselves is a plural reflexive pronoun, so it will properly complete the sentence.

What types of material might a college artist cleave together
tatiyna

two very different meanings. It can describe cutting or splitting something apart with a sharp instrument, or — oddly enough — it can describe sticking to something like glue.

Cleave can refer to being in close contact, to staying really, really close to someone or something: "If you are walking in the pitch-black woods without a flashlight, you want to cleave to the person in front of you."
