Answer:

A.  thought that silence is golden.

Explanation:

In this passage from Story of Echo and Narcissus, Echo faces the sentence of not being able to speak because of her constant talking and saying last word in conversations. The goddess Juno did not over talkative habit of Echo. Since it is a Greek myth, and myths represent the concerned culture's values, we can infer from this that Ancient Greek thought that silence is golden.

In Greek myth "Echo and Narcissus" is a tragic story of Echo and Narcissus. It is also found in Ovid's book of poetry (Metamorphoses). Echo is a nymph which annoys Juno (Hera) by detaining her by her talk when she (Juno) was searching for her husband who was amusing himself with the nymphs. When Juno discovers this, she passes sentence upon Echo that she will not be able to talk/speak, but she will only be able to utter last word of someone else's speech. The story next describes about Narcissus's indifference to Echo only because of her inability to speak. And later Narcissus too (unknowingly) falls in love of his own reflection in the story. The bodies of both Echo and Narcissus dissolve because of not finding the love from their beloved ones.

The options B and C are not relevant to this passage, nor to this story. Option D is totally incorrect because they did believe in their myths.

Thirty-five of the Pilgrims were members of the extreme English Separatist Church, who came to America to escape the jurisdiction of the corrupt Church of England.

Ten years before, a group of Separatists fled to Holland in quest of religious freedom due to English persecution.

<h3>Why did the Pilgrims choose to leave Holland? What hardships did they face before deciding to travel to America?</h3>

The Pilgrims spent several years in Holland before setting foot in North America.

The group, led by William Brewster and John Robinson, went to Amsterdam in 1608 to avoid religious persecution for performing clandestine services not sanctioned by the Church of England.

<h3>What freedoms were the Puritans pursuing?</h3>

Theirs was a theocracy that ruled over every element of their life.  Religion and freedom of speech or the press were as strange to the Puritans as they were to the Church of England.

When other colonies arrived with other views, the Puritans drove them away.

Explain how the use of specific poetic devices makes “Counting Small-boned Bodies” satirical.
marishachu [46]
<span>"Counting Small-Boned Bodies" is a short poem of ten lines and, as its title suggests, plays upon official body counts of dead Vietnamese soldiers. The poem's first line, "Let's count the bodies over again," is followed by three tercets, each of which begins with the same line: "If we could only make the bodies smaller." That condition granted, Bly postulates three successive images: a plain of skulls in the moonlight, the bodies "in front of us on a desk," and a body fit into a finger ring which would be, in the poem's last words, "a keepsake forever." One notes in this that Bly uses imagery not unlike that of the pre-Vietnam poems, especially in the image of the moonlit plain.</span>

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

- The court should look to the intention of the founders.

Explanation:

Originalism is associated with the legal doctrine that believes in interpreting or determining the meaning of the words, phrases, or statements mentioned in the Constitution in context of 'the intention of the founders or authors' for ratification of such a clause or law in the Constitution. The originalist philosophy says that the constitution is required to be interpreted on the basis of initial/original understanding or intent of the founders instead of interpreting it in the present context. Therefore, the court should determine the meaning of the constitutional phrase on this philosophy and 'look to the intention of the founders'.
