Answer:
First, Since, Second, Next, Indeed, Therefore and Finally.
Explanation:
Transitional words have the function of connect ideas in a text, helping to bring coherence; these words can also showm contrast, emphasis, conclusion, purpose, etc. The words <em>First, Second, Next, Since and Finally</em> are used to define time . The word <em>Indeed</em> expresses emphasis, and the word <em>Therefore </em> is used show consequence or result.
The correct answers are: “He is rather self-righteous” and “He considers himself to be a role model to others”. Taken from the “<em>The Tenth Story</em>” within the book “<em>The Decameron</em>” by Giovanni Boccaccio (1353), the speech presented in the excerpt above narrates the moment when Gualtieri explains the purpose of his tormenting Griselda all the previous years. Gualtieri reveals that he did all that in order to show her “<em>how to be a wife</em>” and to teach people “<em>how to choose a keep a wife</em>”, since <u>he considered himself to be </u><u>a role model</u>. The speech also describes Gualtieri’s personality, since he was too proud of his own moral behaviour and beliefs, in a way that annoyed other people. In fact, it is mentioned in the excerpt above that people despised his behaviour (“<em>and for those who considered me a cruel and bestial tyrant</em>”). This is why <u>one could describe him as </u><u>a self-righteous person</u>.
The correct answer is option A ("Sarcastic").
In this short excerpt from Jonathan Swift's poem "The Lady's Dressing Room", we have <u>a couple of clues</u> that clearly enough indicate a sarcastic tone.
Primarily, what I'm looking at is <u>the choice of words</u> from the author:
The woman is not being addressed as a simple human but rather a female deity or <u>goddess</u>. Her struggles (as large as they may seem to her), are somewhat dismissed or mocked by the poet considering that the lady is surrounded by luxury. The mention of <u>brocades</u> also points towards that tonal direction, given that it's a highly expensive fabric most commonly laced with gold or silver.
Hope this helps!
