Answer:

I believe the safest choice is letter A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience.

Explanation:

We might be, at first, tempted to choose letter C concerning labels imposed by men that restrict a woman's life. After all, there is much of feminism in Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying"'s narrator, Addie Bundren. However, the passage we are analyzing here and the context which surrounds it show that<u> Addie's indeed discussing the inadequacy of words to describe experiences. </u>

She sees language as something invented, something built with the purpose of explaining an experience, a feeling. However, she does not think words are effective. Motherhood is only a word, a group of letters and sounds that tries to summarize what the experience of being a mother is. But the experience in itself is much fuller, much richer than the idea that word can ever convey. The same happens to other words, feelings, experiences. As Addie says, <em>"That was when I learned that words are no good; that words don’t ever fit even what they are trying to say at.  When he was born I knew that motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it because the ones that had the children didn’t care whether there was a word for it or not.  I knew that fear was invented by someone that had never had fear; pride, who never had the pride."</em>

I believe it is safe, then, to choose letter A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience.

How would you help other people suffering from body image disturbance embrace their physical selve?​
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Embracing one's self body image (disturbance) can be a very difficult thing for many people, this may be that because of their physical selves, making them feel down, and have low self esteem, but to change that I advise that you:

1) Appreciate your and everyone's body! You been let into this world to have such a beautiful body, I believe everyone should see how empowering you are and how glamorous you are when you shine.

2) Keep in mind of your strong suits! They do not have to be related to your weight! You may be able to do things other people cannot do, so you are special in your own ways.

Just a reminder: True Beauty is not simply the outer layers of you but deep within! Beauty can be considered as a state of mind and how you act! It should not be considered "true beauty" if they only judge by your outer appearance!

3) Be surrounded by positive people! By having good vibes, and positivity by your side, you may never feel down, and always have company! You may even open up to them and be able to relate to them!

4) Engage in how you would use your time wisely as well as your energy. Don't think about what other people say and don't worry about food to help others, do what is beneficial for you.

5) Wear clothes of what you like or want, you should wear clothes that make you comfortable and make you feel good! Your positive friends will root for you! I am sure that you'll have a nice touch of fashion as well!

(There are other reasons, maybe a lot more, but I think I should name some of the main few that should be considered as the most important or may be best beneficial when it comes to helping those suffering from body image disturbance! I hope this helps you!)

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in
Veseljchak [2.6K]

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

What key detail should be added to strengthen the student’s paraphrasing of this excerpt?  

A) Dulichium, Same, and Zacynthus are all visible to Ithaca.

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

C) The islands surrounding Ithaca lie to the east and the south.

D) Ithaca lies under Mount Neion and to the northwest.

Answer:

The detail that should be added to strengthen the paraphrasing is:

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. Thus,<u> to strengthen the student's paraphrase in this case, we must look for the idea that is missing.</u>

<u>In the original excerpt, Odysseus talks of Ithaca's geographic location, the fact that it is a good place "for a boy's training", and the fact that the island is a place he loves:</u>

<em>I shall not see on earth a place more dear.</em>

<u>However, the student's paraphrase has left out this last idea. To make it more complete, we should add that Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.</u>
