Aphorism is a statement of truth or opinion expressed in a concise and witty manner. The term is often applied to philosophical, moral and literary principles.

Let us look at some aphorism examples:

<span>Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle; Old age regret. [Benjamin Disraeli]</span>

<span><span>Pride hath fall. [Proverb]</span></span>

<span><span />The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. [William Faulkner]</span>

<span><span>Life’s Tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late. [Benjamin Franklin]</span></span>

<span><span />Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream. [Khalil Gibran]</span>

<span>The simplest questions are the hardest to answer. [Northrop Frye]</span>

<span><span>A proverb is no proverb to you till life has illustrated it.  [John Keats]</span></span>

<span><span /><span>Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind. [Rudyard Kipling]
</span></span>

When two statements are connected with the word or, the new statement is called a____. A. conjunction. B. disjunction. C. condit
lawyer [7]

Answer:

B. Disjunction.

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to know what disjunction means.

<u>When two statements are connected with the word 'or', the new statement is called </u><u>a disjunction.</u><u> In other words, a disjunction is a compound sentence formed by using the word 'or' to join two simple sentences. </u>

As for other options:

  • A conjunction is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'and'
  • Conditional is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'if'
  • The converse is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'no'.

I hope it helped you :)

Write an essay that compares and contrasts the nose by Nikolai go go to another magical realist story.
finlep [7]

This is a delightful and witty short story with that very Russian sense of the surreal combined with satire, that one sees in Bulgakov's writings (Bulgakov was an admirer of Gogol's work). I could go into all sorts of linguistic and psychological analysis of the symbolism of a man losing his nose, or I probably could if I knew Russian. But I suspect that rather misses the point. As the story says: Nonsense really does occur in this world, and, sometimes, nonsense altogether without an element of plausibility.  I do not know what you can compare it with.  Have you got any options? I think that you can get help with it if you check i tat the professional site. Prime Writings is the site with interesting blog on essay writing.

What is the central idea of the short story The Bully By Roger Dean Kiser and two details.
Ivahew [28]

Answer: The central idea of this book is to entertain and, show readers on how people shouldn't be bullied at all. The literal author's point of view is to show more people how bullying can affect people's lives and, how it isn't necessary at all and, you could regret doing it when you grow older.

Hope this did help!
