It was a shock to the Elizabethan audience; everyone had arranged marriages and high class children obeyed their parents, but this play ruptures the rules
Answer:
I would say the correct answer is D . Without her husband, a woman would lead a life of total misery.
Explanation:
In this passage, Jennings says that <u>both nature and "mankind" have made the man superior to his wife</u>. Some of his rights are "natural", others "acquired", but he has them all and his wife (obviously) none. It follows that a woman is utterly devastated if she chooses not to adapt and even submit to her husband.
This is not a general statement about avoidance of conflict. Nor is it about the man's social connections and influence - Jennings clearly thinks that man's power doesn't stem from social circumstances alone, but from nature too. It's not about women's education (or lack thereof) either. That part is not even mentioned.
Answer:
2. Simile
1. Thick socks
2. Warmth and comfort
Explanation:
Both simile and metaphor are figures of speech used to compare two things. However, there is a difference. The simile is a more direct comparison than the metaphor. It uses words <em>like </em>and <em>as</em>, while the metaphor omits them, stating that something is something else.
As we can see here, in the fifth line, the word <em>like</em><em> </em>is used: .<em>.. or </em><em>like</em><em> a pair of thick socks... </em>This shows us that the poet is using a simile. He compares his poem to a pair of thick socks, suggesting that it can provide warmth and comfort.
