Among these options, the right one is the A: Because the articles outlined an outdated tax system. Although the Articles of Confederation (1781) were the law of the country for eight years, they had some limitations that eventually made necessary their replacement by the current Constitution. In particular, they failed to give the central government any power to raise taxes with which to pay, for instance, the expenses of the war, the provision of social welfare, or its own daily operations. Instead, the government was forced to rely on voluntary contributions from the states. This outdated tax system led to alarming instances of total lack of funds.

Commonlit answers for A Respectable Woman

valentinak56 [21]

1. The correct answer for Part A is:

A. Social expectations influence how people behave, but individuals choose how much they follow them.

The short story A Respectable Woman written by Kate Chopin explores the idea of socially acceptable behavior and the struggle of following them. In the story Mrs. Baroda is surprised by Gouvernail's looks and personality as they were nothing like as she imagined. Due to that she takes an interest in him and later on develops feelings for him. But, being a respectable woman, she chose to uphold social expectations and she conceals her feeling by making physical distance between them.

2. The correct answer is:

C. “She wanted to draw close to him and whisper against his cheek — she did not care what — as she might have done if she had not been a respectable woman. ( Paragraph 23)

Detail from the text that best supports the answer to Part A is option C in which we can clearly see the internal conflict that Mrs. Baroda has. Her wish to keep to retain her dignity as a respectable woman and wife, to stay morally clean in the eyes of others prevailed. This conflict and its resolution is best seen in her statement that she might have done it if she had not been a respectable woman.

3. The correct answer is:

B. He cares about being considerate to his friend and believes that his wife is worried for no reason.

Throughout the whole story Mr. Baroda in unaware that there is emotional tension between his wife and Gouvernail. He interprets his friend's reserved behavior as tiredness due to all the work he has done in the city, and his wife's as silly worry over being a good hostess.

4. The correct answer is:

B. It shows that Mrs. Baroda can no longer hide her feelings for Gouvernail.

At the first sight the dress might seem unimportant, but it has a great deal of symbolism embedded in it. The narrator states that her white gown revealed her to him, which means that she can no longer hide her feelings - they are revealed to Gouvernail at that moment. But by taking on the scarf and making distance between them we can see her effort to conceal them.

5. This question is open to interpretations as the story has open ending, but taking the general theme into consideration the answer should be:

Ending the story with Mrs. Baroda's suggestion that Gouvernail should visit them with words: “I have overcome everything! you will see. This time I shall be very nice to him.” alludes to her reconciliation with her feelings and decision to break the social norms. Her husband interprets her words as being good to him as in being a good host, but she has other things in mind.

The effect that ending causes it's quite a shock. Upheaval in her character comes as a shock especially because it was expected of women to stay faithful to their husbands both physically and mentally. Chopin wanted to make a point that women are equal to men by all standards and if man can have naughty thoughts, so can women.

QUESTION 1

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

4.Address separate audiences separately.

Explanation:

The above statement is not a guideline for addressing your audience. When there is need for an audience to be addressed, there would be a stage in which the person who is the speaker would combine his or her various points into a summary in-order to capture the various differences among the audience.

For example, on boarding school, the speaker should be able point out the advantages which is for audience in support of it as well as the differences (for audience against the idea) before pitching his summary on which he or she stands. This is more realistic rather than, trying to address audience separately.
