I would say the answer would be C but the actual meaning of the word "punctilious " means showing great attention to detail or correct behavior . Matthew may have be trying to spell it correctly or just came up short . So therefore it would be A .

Vesna [10]

The correct alternative is "B. The separate stanzas force readers to stop and read each word carefully, which reflects the theme that all elements must be considered individually to appreciate their true value."

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

It requires artificial promotion and segregation for individuals to persist in their hatred of one another.  When examining the nature of difference at the appropriate scale, the lines which separate us are largely arbitrary when the shared experience of the human existence is given its due consideration.  We are alike, even in our differences.

The Best Villain Many stories feature a hero who behaves honorably and fights for good. These same stories often include a villa
Salsk061 [2.6K]

An example of a very effective villain who stands against the protagonists is Count Olaf from the book series <em>A Series of Unfortunate Events</em>. This series follows the life of the Baudelaire orphans. After both their parents die in a fire, they are sent to their new guardian, a man named Count Olaf. However, Olaf has no interest in caring for them. In fact, he only wants to take advantage of them in order to get their fortune.

The reason why Count Olaf is a good villain is because he contrasts the heroes in several ways. For example, while the heroes care about their family and friends deeply, Count Olaf is selfish and only cares about himself. This is demonstrated by the fact that Count Olaf does not have friends. He only has henchmen. Another reason is the fact that Count Olaf cares a lot about money, while money is not an important concern to the orphan children. Finally, Count Olaf is willing to commit terrible crimes and deeds in order to achieve what he wants, while the children are moral and responsible.

In conclusion, Count Olaf is a remarkable villain because he contrasts with the heroes, who are the Baudelaire orphans. Some of the ways in which he does so is by caring about himself and money more than he cares about anything else, as well as having very loose morals.
