Answer:

Line 12 suggests that:

B Lovers who once did what women say, eventually become controlling husbands.

Explanation:

The line we are analyzing here was taken from the poem "Verses Written by a Young Lady, on Women Born to Be Controll'd!" Let's take a look at the context:

<em>The tyrant husband next appears,  </em>

<em>With awful and contracted brow;  </em>

<em>No more a lover’s form he wears:  </em>

<em>Her slaves become her sovereign now</em>

<em />

<u>According to the poem, a man who is in love with a woman will do anything to please her. He will appeal to her heart, make her feel loved and cherished. However, upon marrying her, he is no longer willing to work hard for her affection. Having secured her, he is now her owner, her boss, and will make sure to treat her in a way that makes that very clear.</u> This poem, written by an anonymous writer, expresses the awful fate of women - destined to be subservient to someone, be it a father, a brother, or a husband. Never free, never her own boss.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:
Sauron [17]

Answer: A. He sets the opening of the story on a rainy day.

Explanation:

<em>The Metamorphosis</em> is a 1915 book by Franz Kafka. It is about a man called Gregor who is, over the course of one night, transformed into a huge insect.

In this particular excerpt, it is the rainy weather that makes the situation sad. Gregor did have a bad dream, but we are not given any particular information about it. Gregor is certainly not feeling sad because of his room, nor does his profession affect his mood. However, in the last excerpt, we see that the weather is described as "dull", and the author points out that the rain makes Gregor "quite sad." The fact that the author sets the story on a rainy day makes it even more melancholic
