Answer:

The organizers of the contest put them together as a group and they win together.

Explanation:

In the given scenario, the tone of the story seems to be the united nature of the three girls. Being friends for over three years, and all good singers, they will be loyal to one another.

So, when they participate in the contest, it will be most satisfying for the readers to see them perform together instead of against one another. This will keep the friendship intact and also show that unity brings success and happiness, no matter what happens.

Thus, the most satisfying conclusion will be to see them put together as a group and win the contest.

Which part of the excerpt from Voltaire’s candide best develops the theme that different people find value in different things
Papessa [141]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because it does not include any text of reference, we can say the following.

The part of the excerpt from Voltaire’s Candide best develops the theme that different people find value in different things is this one:<em> "We desire nothing of your Majesty," says Candide, "but a few sheep laden with provisions, pebbles, and the earth of this country." The King laughed. "I cannot conceive," said he, "what pleasure you Europeans find in our yellow clay, but take as much as you like, and great good may it do you."</em>

This surprised the King because he couldn't conceive the idea that Candide would prefer simpler things instead of more fancy ones. But that is true. Different people prefer different things. You do cannot anticipate that people would be happy with luxurious things when maybe they prefer the simple things in life.

This is part of the book "Candide," written by French philosopher Voltaire in 1759.

Abstract

Johnson disliked Swift but had an intense self-implicating interest in him, sharing much of his social, psychological and devotional outlook, and exhibiting a wide and life-long reading of his works. He found Swift's irony, and satire in general, unsympathetic, but wrote in a manner deeply shaped by Swift and other Augustan satirists. His relationship with Hester Thrale included a self-conscious and often conflicted awareness of Swift's friendship with Stella. His novel Rasselas shares with Swift's 'Digression on Madness' a strikingly similar diagnosis of humanity's mental constitution, but draws teasingly opposite and sometimes adversarial consequences from it. Johnson's antipathies coexist with a reluctant sense of likeness, a combination implicit in the forthrightly evasive and wayward judgments of the 'Life of Swift', from which the main examples are drawn. Their nevertheless compelling power (like that of F. R. Leavis's very different but equally
