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.

That's what I'm thinking after reading it.

How do paragraphs 9-11 contribute to the author’s explanation of the Internet?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A. This section explains the distinction between the World Wide Web and the Internet, which addresses a misunderstanding many users have.

Explanation:

It is not the answer B because it in no way criticizes the creators, it only provides information. There is no opinion given which means it cannot be D either. The answer C is incorrect as the world wide web is an application and not a computer network system.

How do you think the lengths of the best films compare to the lengths for the best animated films
erik [133]

Answer:

The best films have a longer duration than the best animated films.

Explanation:

Animated films, although they have a well constructed and often deep and meaningful plot, are mostly films aimed at children. This justifies the shorter duration that these films have in relation to the best films. Since children can be bored and tired with very long narratives.

However, the best films have a longer duration, because they have more complex stories that need more time to be solved.
