Read the excerpt from Princess Ida by Gilbert and Sullivan.

Women of Adamant, fair neophytes—

Who thirst for such instruction as we give,

Attend, while I unfold a parable.

The elephant is mightier than Man,

Yet Man subdues him. Why? The elephant

Is elephantine everywhere but here (tapping her forehead)

And Man, whose brain is to the elephant’s

As Woman’s brain to Man’s—(that’s rule of three),—

Conquers the foolish giant of the woods,

As Woman, in her turn, shall conquer Man.

Blank Verse

Explanation:

A blank verse is a literary device that is usually written in iambic pentameter. While it is similar and can be confused with free verse, they are both different because although blank verse is written without rhymes, it requires a consistent meter while free verse has no rules to follow about rhyming or rhythmic meter.

Shirley Chisholm's childhood with her family in New York could be characterized as

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is poor but supportive.

Explanation:

Shirley Anita Chisholm (1924-2005) was the first African-American to become a Congresswoman in 1968. She was born and raised during her first years in Brooklyn, New York. However, the fact that her parents didn't have a secured job position forced them to send Chisholm and her three younger sisters to Barbados with their maternal grandmother. Years later, in her autobiographic book Unbought and Unbossed (1970), she recognizes that one of the events that shaped her character was the British-style education she received from schools in Barbados. Besides, she thanks her grandmother for giving her strength, dignity and most importantly, love.

In that sense, even if Chisholm suffered from economical needs, she received the support of her closest relatives to shape her personality.

Unclear question. I inferred from only;

Question 9: What connotations would these lines have invoked in the listener of Edward’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands I’d an Angry God” choose two

Answer:

feelings of fear

Explanation:

There are certain expressions in Edward’s sermon that can invoke fear into the minds of listeners. For example when he said;

"There is the dreadful pit of glowing flames of the wrath of God; there is hell's wide gaping mouth open, and you have nothing to stand upon, nor anything to take hold of..."

In effect, his words create a sense of fear for listeners that God is angry towards those Edward calls "sinners".

Alfred Prufrock
