English

MrRa [10]3 years ago

A step-dame (stepmother) and dowager (widow holding property for her deceased husband) would make their son (or stepson) wait until they die to inherit all of the land or money.

Theseus is saying that he is tired of waiting for his wedding day to Hippolyta, comparing himself to that 'young man' waiting for his dowager or stepdame to die because to him, Hippolyta is a great fortune.

In 'Only Daughter', which of the following inferences is best supported by the following passage?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

A). I was/am the only daughter and only a daughter. Being an only daughter in a family of six sons forced me by circumstance to spend a lot of time by myself because my brothers felt it beneath them to play with a girl in public. <u>She believes that she may not be considered as valuable as a son.</u>

Explanation:

As per the question, option A displays the inference that would be most appropriately supported by the given passage as it reveals the idea that not only surrounds the entire passage but also unifies it. The descriptions like 'being an only daughter...forced me by circumstance to spend time by myself' and 'my brothers felt it beneath them to play with a girl in public' makes the readers deduce that the authoress probably had a belief that she would not be regarded as of similar value and position as of a son. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

GalinKa [24]

It is true. The second read is a reading technique that doesn't mean all the text must be read. The technique is used for further clarification of difficult topics. This method is a detailed reading. It is not needed if the reader comprehends the material after the first reading.

The author indicates his opinion regarding how the Internet has resulted in a loss of privacy and independence for the narrator.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

<u>C.) Characterization</u>

Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device in which authors reveal a character's personality or gives information about them, whether in a direct form (when the character is "labeled" directly like something) or an indirect form (when the author conveys information about the character by only narrating their actions, desires, preferences or thoughts).

The sentence uses this literary device because the author is indirectly revealing a character's traits and situation by giving information about the narrator (which can also be a character): the internet had made them lost their privacy and independence.
