In "Kubla Khan," Coleridge describes the creation and destruction of Kubla Khan's palace in the exotic location of Xanadu, which gives the poem a dreamlike quality. Through the historical character of Kubla Khan, Coleridge uses the wild image of the Mongols to suggest that Kubla Khan is insane, implying that all creative actions are the acts of mad men.

The last lines bring the poem to a climatic close. Flashing eyes evoke the image of passionate creativity. By talking about "holy dread," Coleridge suggests that creation is both sacred and demonic.

Hope that helps :)

According to a different source, these are the lines that the question refers to:

<em>His flashing eyes, his floating hair! </em>

<em>Weave a circle round him thrice,</em>

<em>And close your eyes with holy dread </em>

<em>For he on honey-dew hath fed, </em>

<em>And drunk the milk of Paradise.</em>

In these final lines of the poem "Kubla Khan," Coleridge describes Kubla Khan, as well as his character. The description suggests that Kubla Khan was a mad man. He is described as having flashing eyes and floating hair. This wild image is intended to suggest that all creative actions are the acts of insane people. Moreover, with such a description, the author brings the poem to a dramatic and intense conclusion.

The average of integers a and b is 12. if c = 3, what is the average of integers a, b, and c ?
Anni [7]

You know that the sum of a and b is 24, because the average is the sum of the numbers divided by the amount of numbers added together, and 12*2 is 24. Add 3 to 24 so you have 27, and then divide that by 3 because there are now 3 numbers in the set. The average of a, b, and c is 9.

When carlos moved to the united states, he did not understand any english. Phrases like "anna mary can pi and i scream class hic
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Speech Segmentation.

Explanation:

'Speech segmentation' is demonstrated as the process of identifying and recognizing the affiliation between the words, phonemes, as well as syllables employed in specific spoken language. It focuses on the context and emphasizes their study as a whole in order to promote a lexical meaning.

In the given situation, Carlos was incapable of '<u>speech segmentation</u>' as he could not understand the lexical and contextual meaning of the phrase and failed to understand its meaning as a whole. Therefore, <u>since he read the words in isolation and not as a whole, he was inefficient in 'speech-segmentation'. </u>
