Reread Sonnet 30 by William Shakespeare. How does the speaker behave and feel in the poem before he thinks of his “dear friend”?
aev [14]

Answer: 1. He feels and behaves depressed and regretful about his past actions and thoughts. 2. The thought of his "dear friend" compensates his losses and his sorrow ends. 3. Because by changing his tone he makes emphasis the fact that his "dear friend" was indeed the light of his life.

Explanation: Shakespeare conveys a very sad and depressing message in the sonnet, regretting how he failed to achieve his goals, wasted the best years of his life, and crying over the loss of his friends. We can see this in the following lines: "I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, then can I drown an eye, and with old woes new wail my dear time's waste.

Nevertheless, in the lines "But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd and sorrows end", he acknowledges his "dear friend", and the sonnet makes a twist. He emphasizes that thinking of this person relieves all his guilt and pain, making then, a tribute to them.

What is the definition of the word incredulous, based on its parts?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The meaning of the word incredulous, based on its parts is: "full of disbelief".

The prefix in- is one of the many prefixes that mean "no". So it denies the meaning of the word following it. One example would be the word inefficient. By adding the prefix in- to the adjective efficient, we deny the adjective. If we call a person inefficient, we are saying the person is "not efficient", not able to finish tasks in a proper time and manner.

As for the other part of the word we're analyzing here, "credulous" comes from the Latin word "credere", which means "believe". A credulous person is a person who believes in things easily, without questioning or reasoning.

By putting in- and credulous together, we form "incredulous", or "not credulous". So an incredulous person is a person who does not believe easily - who is full of disbelief.
