Answer:

18

Explanation:

Countries have different voting age as defined by their constitutions. In my opinion, minimum voting age should be set at 18. In most countries, any person under the age of 18 is still considered a minor. Being a minor is not wrong neither is voting as a minor. However, voting should be allowed for only persons that are adults. The reason is, when a person votes, he/she is determining the person that is going to be responsible for making decisions that affect the future of such person and the whole country.And such type of decisions should not be taken anyhow. Countries with a lot of bad leaders are paying for it dearly. This is why a minor should not be allowed to vote. Its not that it is wrong, however, even though the adults can be bribed, the minors can also be bribed or intimidated. In my experience, voting as an adults means that I am careful to make my vote count. This means, research is carried out for every candidate in the election. After which, articles, news and interviews will also play a part in determining if I get to give the any candidate my vote. By doing some of these things, I am weighing the pros and cons of each candidates. Something that a minor may not be able to do. Countries like Iran,Luxembourg, Nigeria, USA uses 18 as their voting age. According to the election body in Nigeria (INEC: Independent National Electoral Commission), the minimum voting age is 18. And also according to the Twenty-sixth Amendment (Amendment XXVI) to the United States Constitution, age should not be used to deny anybody from voting once the person is 18 years of age.

Explain what effect the repetition of the lines “Brennan on the Moor, Brennan on the Moor,
azamat

Answer:

The repetition of the line, "Brennan on the moor/Brennan on the moor/bold and undaunted stood young Brennan on the moor"

Explanation:

The repetition of the line, "Brennan on the moor/Brennan on the moor/bold and undaunted stood young Brennan on the moor" in the opening and closing stanzas call the reader to remember the name of the man in this epic-style poem as we begin and end his tragic story.

In the opening lines, the repetition is quite like a battle cry where the person spoken about is seen as our hero. As readers, we repeat his name to honor him and call forth his story.

In the closing lines, the repetition is meant to be an homage to the hero of our poem who has died.

How does the author’s use of stanzas affect the meaning of “A Thousand Martyrs”? Use evidence from the poem to support your resp
IRINA_888 [86]
We are presented with a libertine speaker talking of many lovers. He suggests that, though he has spoken about the pain of love, it is only ‘Love’s pleasures’ that he cares about. As such, he has ‘betrayed’ ‘a thousand beauties’. He claims to have been a callous and deceiving lover, telling ‘the fair’ about the ‘wounds and smart’ they long to hear of, then ‘laughing’ and leaving. The poem is written in three elegant septets. Notice the iambic tetrameter and consider how important form might be to the theme of this particular kind of love and betrayal.

This speaker may not be entirely honest. The final stanza begins with ‘Alone’. Is there any sense of regret here? The speaker claims to be ‘Without the hell’ of love, yet in the same line we find reference to the ‘heaven of joy’. He  may even also sacrificed his joy with his promiscuous love.
