Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" and Housman's "Loveliest of trees, the cherry now" both touches on the issues of life and death from the perspectives of an old man and a twenty-year-old boy.

Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 73” is the sonnet from an old man’s perspective. He finds himself to be ashes which are the result of fire and can never turn back to its original state. He takes the help of metaphors to compare the cycle of life and death with the cycle of seasons and rotation of day and night. The speaker here wants to go back to his youth days and live the life again but he’s very well acquainted with the fact that it is not possible.

Housman's "Loveliest of trees, the cherry now" too looks upon the theme of life and death from a boy’s perspective who has turned twenty.

The boy gets terrified when he analyses that he has only fifty years more to live in this world. He wants to go back into the woods and live the life to its fullest. The boy complains about the short span of life he has left and the only thing which is promised in a life is death. However, he wants to achieve everything in this life of his before death touches him.

Select from the drop-down menu to complete the sentence with parallel structure.
velikii [3]

<span>I would rather spend my vacation in a big city than in a mountain cabin.</span>

Parallel structure refers to having the same structure or parts of speech in the same sequence and function. In the sentence, the parallel structure that needs to be paired with is “in a big city” which is a prepositional phrase; so, the choice that has the same format is “in a mountain cabin” which is also a prepositional phrase. “To go,” “staying,” and “being” are obviously different for they are either an infinitive phrase or participial phrase.

1. I am a five digit number
Alecsey [184]

Answer: is 65292

1.Three pairs of digit sum up to 11

So.5+6,4+7,3+8,2+9

So, password must consist of 2 to 9 numbers to make a pair 11.

No 0 or 1.

2.Also it has only 5 digit. So any two number must be same.

3. as per other condition.. 1st and last digit can't be same and also 3 middle digits can't have 2 same number.

4. Last and first digit can be

6___2

9___3

No other options suit for three times the last digit.

5. For middle numbers..

_529_ is the only option and 2 is a repeator that can make third pair as sum of 11.

_63(11)_ error and also 6 is a repeator but it can't make sum as 11.. Anyway error case.

_74(12)_error also no repeators

So.. Now from step 4 and 5..

65292 is the password.
