The Prince Waits. Which excerpt from the text best establishes the setting of this passage?

English

tangare [24]3 years ago

I believe the correct answer is: “Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf…”

 

     The setting of the narrative represents the place where narrative is being unfolded – its surroundings, position. This quotation is the best contribution to the setting as it describes the place where the story begins or where story happens (at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage).


     Therefore, the excerpt from the text best establishes the setting of this passage is:

     "Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf with fine-toothed edges, then let it drop so he could capture a newer one, a larger, brilliantly red leaf whose crinkled surface curled like the palm of a hand. Behind him, at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage."

Answer:

would have to raise

The definition of past tense:

a tense expressing an action that has happened or a state that previously existed.

So, we eliminate the ones in past tense

<em>did have to raise its dues</em>

Definition of present tense:

The present tense is used for actions which are happening now.

So, we eliminate ones using present tense

<em>raises</em>

Final note:

If one word or phrase in a sentence/paragraph is past or present tense, the whole thing will need to be past or present tense.

Hope that helped!!

LMDA: What does Sir Gawain’s last request before his death show the reader about his character? *
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

A) He has grown emotionally as a person

Explanation:

However, by taking the silk belt and keeping it secret, Gawain proves himself to be less than perfect. When finally confronted with his failing, Gawain accepts responsibility for his actions and shows remorse, indicating that he grown spiritually and morally. Many readers feel that Gawain is too hard on himself in wearing the belt as a reminder of his guilt, and that the standard of perfection he wants to uphold is simply unattainable. Despite having failed in one crucial area, Gawain remains an appealing figure, embodying everything that is most attractive about the chivalric ideal.

Gawain's overriding quality throughout the poem is what the Gawain-poet calls "trawthe," or truth. Truth in this sense includes many things: honesty, faith, loyalty, uprightness, purity. Gawain condemns himself for untruth at the end of the poem, but Gawain's imperfections make him a more interesting character than the perfect model of virtue he first appears to be. He is brave, yet he fears death. He is chaste, yet he is attracted to his beautiful hostess. He is courteous toward women, yet he repeats a standard piece of misogynistic rhetoric. He is loyal and honorable, yet he deceives his host and tries to gain an advantage in his match with the Green Knight.

Besides his interesting imperfections, he displays a surprising range of emotions. His anger and defensiveness when he realizes his fault, his fearful imaginings as he approaches the Green Chapel, and his obvious attraction to his hostess hint that his character has an inner life, not merely a stock role to play.

What do waterbury residents observations reveal about people's feelings and behavior toward fortune?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The observations by Waterbury residents reveals that they never felt Fortune was a true human.

Explanation:

'Fortune's Bone' is a historical writing by Pamela Espeland. The writing reveals about Fortune, an African-American slave owned by Dr. Porter. It is said that Dr. Porter reserved Fortune's body after his death to study anatomy of human being.

The paragraph 18 of the text reveals that the residents of Waterbury never felt that Fortune was truly a human being. After he was founded and given to the museum, his skeleton was named 'Larry' and was considered to be a war hero.

Thus there were many stories created regarding the Fortune's bones that residents of Waterbury hardly imagined that he was truly a human being.
