Suddenly she turned from the window and stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brightly, but her face had lost its color.

Quickly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its complete length.
The James Dillingham Youngs were very proud of two things which they owned. One thing was Jim’s gold watch. It had once belonged to his father. And, long ago, it had belonged to his father’s father. The other thing was Della’s hair. If a queen had lived in the rooms near theirs, Della would have washed and dried her hair where the queen could see it. Della knew her hair was more beautiful than any queen’s jewels and gifts. If a king had lived in the same house, with all his riches, Jim would have looked at his watch every time they met. Jim knew that no king had anything so valuable.

So now Della’s beautiful hair fell about her, shining like a falling stream of brown water. It reached below her knee. It almost made itself into a dress for her.

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The purpose of this passage is most likely to make an entertaining comparison between Della and a queen and Jim and a King. The text does not seem to be an opinion on a fictional or historical character since it does not mention anyone in particular except for the members of the James Dillingham Young family.

Despite centuries of tension, England and Scotland united under one monarchy when Scotland’s James VI became James I of England
bogdanovich [222]

Macbeth is considered by many a critic a Sakespeare's mature tragedy. The play contains a lot of supernatural elements and takes place in Scotland. Indeed, these traits do not appear by chance. It is well known that King James had a fascination for the obscure arts, there is even a book called "Daemonologie" written by the king himself.

The Scottish play, as it was called, begins with witchcraft. The lines where it is said that three "weyrd" sisters "All heil Macbeth, that shall be King hereafter!" (49, 50) reflects Shakespeare's intention to reverence his patron and his interest in the uncanny. It is of importance to mention that the word "weyrd" has its origin in the old English word for fate, which is one of the main themes and motifs in the play. Macbeth is to become king and face his destiny.

Macbeth's skepticism is present when we read in the words of Macbeth orders "Say from whence / You owe this intelligence? Or why / Upon this blasted heath you stop our way" (75-77). There was skepticism for what was to come with the new union. The term United Kingdom comes from there, from the alliance of the nations.

The play, with all its supernatural elements and references to withcraft and nobility, demonstrate respect and honor to the new king, who watched the theatrical representation of the tragedy and found the association to his interest in the dark arts presented in the Globe.

In a broad sense, the boy’s epiphany in “Araby” reveals the
ivann1987 [24]
The correct answer is A. The boy's epiphany in "Araby" reveals the futility of human pursuits.

At the end of the story, the boy has several disappointments. His uncle is late, the bazaar is nearly closed by the time he gets there, and the only objects he finds are boring. All of his expectations have failed to live up to reality. The boy realizes that his relationship with Mangan's sister will end up the same -- better in his imagination than in reality.

In this way, the story says that life itself is disappointing and fails to live up to our imaginations. Answer A, that human pursuits are futile (or pointless), best encompasses the boy's epiphany.
