Answer:

D )As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot.

Explanation:

Ellipsis are a punctuation mark used to shorten a quotation. Of course, when using them, one must pay attention on shortening it properly.

The meaning of the quotation and its message must remain unchanged, which means that only digressions and interposed phrases or sentences can be removed from the original quotation.

Of all given options, only option D) preserved the original meaning of this Twain's quotation.

1. In Act I, Macbeth meets with three witches. - TRUE

2. In Act I, it is revealed that Macbeth and Banquo are enemies. - FALSE

3. In Act I, we learn that Lady Macbeth is more ambitious than her husband. - TRUE

  • "Macbeth" is a tragic play by William Shakespeare. Macbeth leaves a trail of murders behind him as he tries to ascend to the throne and become king of Scotland.
  • The sentences above are all based on Act I of the play. Two of them are true and one is a lie.
  • It is true that Macbeth meets with three witches who give him strange, ambiguous prophesies.
  • It is also true that Macbeth's wife is much more ambitious than he is. She is the one who encourages him to murder the king when Macbeth is already giving up on the plan.
  • However, it is not true that Macbeth and Banquo are enemies. They are friends in Act I, and they fight side by side in the battle.
  • In conclusion, all the sentences above are based on the events of Act I of "Macbeth".

What are tree of the musical moods described in the third and fourth stanzas of Jazz Fantasia?
Nutka1998 [239]
As regards the third stanza, it might be said that the mood might be sad  or loneliness and kind of violent. Words such as "moan", "lonesome", "cry" might give the impression of solitude and deep sadness. On the other hand, words lie "bang-bang", "fight" "scratch" might reveal some violence that could be connected to the feelings previously mentioned. 

the fourth stanza seems to change the mood, where the Mississippi river and the that lights , the starts and the hills might give a sensation of a nice voyage, contemplation of nature. words such as "soft" "green" appeared to portray a nice scenario.<span />
