Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Let's not make it complicated. The original text used stuff about, making it less informal and casual. Although the question is looking for a more concrete phrase, A and D doesn't look like a better way to write it.

Maybe consider C but it's highly likely its B.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

"Stuff about" is a vague term, and by concrete phrase it is meant that we describe what exactly Mary has to learn.

Consider option A: History of.

Learning the history of a sport will not help one in any way to actually play the game. So, A is incorrect.

Option B: Things about

"things about" again is a vague term and does not describe which things are to be learnt. Throw this option out the window.

Option D: Past and current players.

Thus also won't help one to play the game and know the rules.

Thus, C is the correct choice.

kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

the story adds complexity to the theme of multiple truths and shows Mariam's shift from childhood to adulthood. The theme of multiple truths is developed through Mariam's desire to see Herat and be a public part of her father's life. She has heard his stories, and believed them, and wants his stories of a full and lively life to be hers as well. However, what she learns is that Jalil has been selective in the information he tells her; he may love her, but only on his own terms. Once Mariam realizes that her father allowed her to sleep on the street rather than bring her into his home, she is traumatized and realizes there is more truth to Nana's stories than she initially thought. Through this realization, Mariam begins to see the flaws in her understanding of her parents; she saw only the surface of Jalil's kindness and Nana's bitterness, not the complex feelings lying beneath their behavior. Thus, Hosseini shows the reader that truth is often more complex than it initially seems, and truth can emerge in unexpected ways. While it's true that Jalil loves Mariam, it's also true that he's ashamed of her. While it's true that Nana resents her lot in life, it's also true that she wants to protect her daughter.

The other two, slight air and purging fire,/Are both with thee, wherever I abide;/The first my thought, the other my desire,/The
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

This is Shakespeare's Sonnet 45.

In this sonnet, he finds himself in continous fluctuation between joy and sorrow. This is as a result of the absence of the one he loved. His thoughts were always moving to and fro between him and his love.

Actually, this sonnet relates to his previous sonnet. He finds that his thoughts and desires are not so much in himself, as with his beloved (hence present-absent.)

Substances were said to be made up of fire, air, earth and water. But when a substance is deprived of two of them, air and fire, (the other two) which correspond to thought and desire, the body responds and sinks into melancholy and decay.

Why do the complex characters in Shakespeare's plays appeal to a wide audience?
Leviafan [203]
The characters in Shakespeare's plays are widely loved by the masses because they are flawed and larger than life. They are on one hand easy to relate to and connect with, but on another hand very grandiose and almost of a fairy tale nature. They are certainly not predictable, nor do they collectively represent the best qualities of human nature. pretty much we can relate to them so we love them.

hope this helps. please give me brainliest
