6 0

The purpose of these words is to give off the impression of averageness, whether of a substance, event, or person. It shows that the thing in question is quite readily available to anyone, and that it is nothing to marvel at. These words give off the impression of "nothing to see here" essentially.

The banker was probably motivated to make the wager by his hatred for the jurist. True or False = I'm thinking False, but idk.

seropon [69]

The banker had negative feelings towards the jurist. In the story, the jurist did him some not so good things. We would expect that the wager was done out of hatred for the jurist. The banker wanted to take revenge aginst the jurist.

Hello. You forgot to put the text related to that question. It is important that you always provide all the information necessary for your question to be answered.

The text is:

"And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

all alone beweep my outcast state

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries

And look upon myself and curse my fate,

5 Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessid,

Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,

Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

That then I scorn to change my state with kings."

Answer:

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Explanation:

In the sonnet above, we can see that the speaker is a person disgusted by the life he used to see. He shows that he is no longer happy with things that made him happy before, but that when he thinks of his beloved, he is so happy that nothing would change his life, not even wealth and prosperity. In this case, the speaker reinforces the value that his relationship has in his life and in his mood. This is most evident in the lines:

"For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

With what I most enjoy contented least; "

kirill115 [55]

To paraphrase is to include the ideas or information from an original source in your paper by rephrasing those ideas or information in your own words .the key to successful paraphrasing is to use as few words as possible from the original text --be mindful not to change the meaning that you are trying to convey as your rephrase---and to cite your paraphrase without proper citation,your paraphrase could be construed as plagiarism......

Summarize the story Vera tells Mr. Nuttel which she says happened three years ago.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Vera tells the central character, Frampton Nuttel, that three years ago a great tragedy occurred in their family. According to Vera, Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers set out for a day of shooting, and did not return. It was concluded that the three, along with their little spaniel, were engulfed in the treacherous bog; their bodies were never found. Vera tells Framton that her aunt, Mrs. Sappleton, speaks frequently about the day the three men and the dog purportedly met their demise, leaving the window through which they exited that day open, as if in expectation of their return. As Vera and Framton sit there by the open window, Vera shudders and tells the visitor that on "quiet evenings like this," she still gets a "creepy feeling that they will all walk in through the window."

Mrs. Sappleton comes in at this point, and, as expected, talks about her husband and brothers, whom she says have gone shooting but will be home soon, coming through the window as is their habit. Framton, who is in a delicate mental state, believes, because of what Vera has told him, that the men in question are dead, and that Mrs. Sappleton is delusional. Disturbed by the ghastly situation, Framton becomes completely unnerved when Mr. Sappleton, the two other men, and the spaniel do indeed appear at the window, and he bolts off in terror. Vera, of course, has misled Framton for her own amusement, and when the family wonders why their visitor has left so pricipitously, she dissembles further, saying that he was most likely afraid of the dog.

Please tell me what is a Hasty Generalization Fallacy?

podryga [215]

It's when someone makes a fast and false conclusion because they only know the general idea of the thing they are concluding, and not all of the facts, if that makes sense. It's kind of like a stereotype, automatically assuming that someone is a certain way just because they participate in a certain sport, for example.
