Answer:
The commons stand in terror of thy frown,
And dare not utter aught that might offend,But I can overhear their muttered plaints,Know how the people mourn this maiden doomed
Explanation:
Option A is the correct answer because it shows Haemon's reasonable nature seeing that it is quite different from the stance of his stubborn father Creon.
In the lines, he tells his father that he should listen to the people even though the citizens are too scared to air their opinions aloud but they are less than happy with the treatment of Antigone and they are in solidarity with her. Haemon tries to reason with his father by letting him know the displeasure of the people and that he should listen to them.
Your question is missing the instructions and the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the following sentence, selecting the most appropriate word from the given choices to fill the gap. His preparations for the Olympic Games had been very thorough. He had been training
intrinsically
ostensibly
systematically
predominantly
for months.
Answer:
The best way to complete the sentence is with "systematically".
Explanation:
First, let's see what each adverb means:
intrinsically -- essentially; naturally.
ostensibly -- apparently; seemingly.
systematically -- methodically; completely; detailedly.
predominantly -- mostly; mainly; chiefly.
Now, let's use a little bit of logic. As we all know, an athlete who prepares to compete at the Olympic Games does so completely. He/she trains constantly, absolutely focused, for months, sometimes even years. They have a systematic training, that is, they practice in a methodical, fixed, disciplined manner. Therefore, the best option is "systematically".
- His preparations for the Olympic Games had been very thorough. He had been training systematically for months.
Both poems ask the subjects (the tiger and the lamb) who created them. Both poems point to a fact that there had to be some higher being that created them so perfectly. Both poems also use repetition in the beginnings and ends. Both poems highlight an importance of believing in Gods and creators.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>It is important to read good books </em><u><em>that have good plots. (A)</em></u>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The blank in the sentence is thus filled aptly by ‘that have good plots’. This is because it is grammatically correct and acceptable. A book is an object and thus the word the adjective ‘that’ goes with it. "That" is used for referring an object, person or an idea. It involves something which is already known of like books with good plots are known to people.
Answer:
XAXA
Explanation:
As you may already know, rhymes are the sounds repeated at the end of the vesos of a poem. The rhymes are created to give a rhythm and a musicality in poetry, leaving it with a more musical and harmonious air.
The rhymes have patterns that are organized according to the repetition of the same line between the verses. Verses with the same rhymes receive the same letter, verses with different rhymes receive a different letter. Usually these letters are "A" and "B", the verses that do not have a rhyme present the letter "X".
Based on this, we can say that the rhyme pattern in the passage shown in the passage above has the pattern "XAXA," since the first and third verses do not rhyme, but the second and fourth verse rhyme with each other.
