Answer:

Mrs. Mallard bursts out weeping when she hears the news of her husband’s death.

Explanation:

The correct answer is that Mrs. Mallard bursts out weeping when she hears the news of her husband's death.

The other options are all part of the irony in the story in that they all suggest the opposite of what was really said.

In the midst of Mrs. Mallard’s grief, she sees and hears the signs of spring. This sentence have the word grief but then she sees and hears the signs of spring, which is quite ironic as they she is supposed to be thinking of sad and gloomy things. The other sentences are also ironic as they aren't really what they mean.

When she sees her husband, Mrs. Mallard dies of heart failure.

The doctors diagnose the death of Mrs. Mallard as “joy that kills.”

Mrs. Mallard did die and at the exact time she sees her husband is alive, but not because of the relief of his safety but rather in the joy of knowing that she is finally free from him.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Emily is clearly linked to a monument--a symbol of death--in this passage. Many people think of tributes to the dead or to fallen heroes when they think of monuments. Monuments are found in many cemeteries, often to remember the famous or dead who are buried there. Faulkner connects Emily to a '' fallen monument'', to reinforce the theme of decay, a reminder that all things will fall to ruin. Monuments will crumble, societies will falter, and Emily and the other townspeople will die.

Explanation:

Symbols of death are as pervasive as the fine dust that coats Miss Emily's house in this short story. The dust covers everything in Emily's house, and the men who go there to attempt to collect Emily's taxes notice that the hallway ''smelled of dust and disuse.'' When they are seated in the parlor, ''a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sun-ray.''  

Dust coats everything in the secret room where Emily's horrifying secret is revealed and the townspeople learn that she has killed Homer Barron, her boyfriend, and kept his body. After Emily's neighbors break down the door of the secret room, they are shocked to see that ''What was left of him, rotted beneath what was left of the nightshirt, had become inextricable from the bed in which he lay; and upon him and upon the pillow beside him lay that even coating of the patient and biding dust.''

Side Note:

I hope this helps you in some or any way.

What is the most likely effect of too much type on one slide during a presentation? The audience will stop listening to the pres
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

  • The audience will stop listening to the presenter in order to read the slide.
  • The audience will ignore the information on the slide because of the amount of information on it.

Explanation:

A presentation refers to the visual representation and elaboration of a specific topic to the audience. In other words, it is more like a demonstration and providing a speech on the topic along with the PowerPoint slides. The use of too much of the write-up in a slide has two effects on the audience. They either engage too much in reading them and not listening to the explanation to it given by the presenter. Or, they may ignore the things written in the slides.
