Answer: a) she is never given the opportunity to speak for herself

b) Daisy dies before any of the rumors about her are confirmed

Explanation:

Daisy Miller is a 1878 novel by Henry James. It tells a story about Daisy Miller, an American girl who travels around Europe with her mother and brother. In a hotel in Switzerland, she meets Winterbourne (also a young American), and the two of them begin their romance.

Initially, Daisy is presented as a young American girl, highly spirited and well-meaning. Throughout the novel, however, Winterbourne tries to determine whether she truly is a 'nice' girl. Daisy's actions do not really reveal much about her persona. The truth that we find out about her is only what we see through the eyes of Winterbourne. As Daisy falls ill and dies, she does not have an opportunity to confirm or deny the rumors about her.

The correct answer should be male, serve, assembly

These are the keywords that construct the meaning. Things like each or local are used to further describe the keywords. For example, you could remove local from the sentence without affecting the meaning of it, but you couldn't remove assembly because the meaning would change.

ANTONII [103]

The correct answer to the question "Which word suggests a topic of the speech?" is the second option: Duty.

The speech talks about a nation's duty towards righteousness and justice, not only when discussing political and public matters, but also personally, as a virtue all people must carry inside themselves. At the beginning of his speech, the speaker conveys a feeling of gratitude for all that was given to his people, when he says "with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness". Then, the speaker calls attention to the fact that "Under such conditions it would be our own fault if we failed", meaning that his people should consider their responsibility any wrong actions they would be driven to take. As free and mighty people, he/she says that "a full acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours" is necessary. When the speaker states that "We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds", he/she makes it clear that, as consequence of their well-being and success, they have the opportunity and the obligation to be right and just toward other nations. Therefore, the main topic of this speech would be the people's duty towards others, considering their privileged position.

The correct answer couldn't be the first option, "Aggression", because this word is only mentioned in the end, when the speaker says that "no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent aggression", as a result of their actions taken with justice, which takes the reader one more time to the main topic, the duty of righteousness toward others.

The correct answer couldn't be the third one, "Peace", because, although being at peace seems to be one of the speaker's objectives, he/she states that only by avoiding wrong deeds and always acting according to their duty to justice could the people reach and keep peace with other nations.

The correct answer couldn't be the fourth one, "Realization", because, even though the realization of the people's blessings could take them to feel like they are in a position to act right and help others, the main objective and topic of the speech are still fulfilling a duty.

According to a 1993 World Bank report, East Asian economic growth in the late twentieth century was due, in part, to the fact that the East Asian countries got the basics right.

What's the difference between venomous and poisonous?

Ne4ueva [31]

So a cobra is venomous and a poison dart frog is poisonous. (I guess if you want to be picky, a snake could be considered poisonous if you eat it and ingest its venom.)
