<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

  • Herbert uses Narcissus' rejection of Echo to illustrate a holy man's rejection of mortal love for the eternal love of God.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

"Paradise" is an satirical piece expected to show a thing or two to Herbert's students. Echo reacts naturally to the inquiries without considering.

Echo isn't mortal and exists simply because of material science. Subsequently he is of God. The suggestion being that no one but God can answer all inquiries without considering. Thus, every one of us has the obligation to consider the appropriate responses previously giving them.

3. Key Ideas and Details: How does the author connect his statement that America
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer and Explanation:

The author shows how American companies have a strong influence on the economy of Singapore, as in other countries and that because of this influence, the American government can impose that not only Singapore, but that all countries have better attitudes, otherwise these companies can be withdrawn from these countries, which would cause certain economic problems.

In other words, the author states that the USA cannot impose American values in foreign territories, but it can cause these values to be met using the influence it has economically in those territories, through the list of American companies that the foreign country has.
