lines 174-185 explain the irony in the statement that the irish "stay at home on purpose to deliver the kingdom to the pretender
GaryK [48]

By these words, which are part of Johathan's Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (1729), the author is referring to the claim to the throne of England, Ireland and Scotland by James Francis Edward Stuart, son of King James II. The latter was a Catholic King, who had already fathered a daughter named Mary; until James Francis Edward's birth, Mary, who had been raised as a Protestant, was the legitimate heiress to the English throne. James Francis Edward was a Catholic. The English Protestants were reluctant to have a Catholic king, as they did not wish to be under the political influence of the Pope. Therefore, they rebelled against James II, whom they overthrew. Mary and her husband William of Orange then became Protestant Queen and King of England, Ireland and Scotland. Ireland is the "home" to which Swift refers in this statement. Since the Irish were and are Catholic, they wished to help James Francis Edward Stuart regain his position as heir to the British, Irish and Scottish crown. Swift contrasts these irish men with those Protestants who would rather leave England than pay taxes to a Catholic king.

James Francis Edward's attempts to regain the crown were unsuccessful.

ANYTHING HELPS!!!!!!!!!!
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. Don't judge a book by its cover

Contradictory Adage: The clothes make the man.

Adage most true, and why?: "Don't judge a book by its cover" is the most true here. This is because judging a man by his physical appearance can lead to misjudgment of who the man truly is. It is not the outside (the cover) that actually makes or defines a man. It is his what is inside that truly defines a man.

2. Curiosity killed the cat

Contradictory Adage: What you don't know can't hurt you

Adage most true, and why?: "<em>Curiosity killed the cat</em>" is the most true here. This is true because being too inquisitive on matters that one doesn't know about can actually expose that individual to danger. The contradictory adage isn't so true because it doesn't really work like that in all cases.

3. Opposites attract

Contradictory Adage: Birds of a feather flock together

Adage most true, and why?: "<em>Opposites attract</em>" is the most true here. This is true because this particular adage actually plays out very well in our world today. It has been designed for opposites to attract. Among humans and animals, opposite genders attract each other. In magnetism, opposite poles attract each.

4. Don't cross that bridge until you come to it

Contradictory Adage: Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today

Adage most true, and why?: "<em>Don't cross that bridge until you come to it</em>" is the most true here. This is because worrying about tomorrow's problems today is needless. They can actually make one to loose focus.

Explanation:

I have been able to answer the given questions.

The main adages in the first column are actually the adages that are most true. In my above explanations, I gave clear explanations why they are the most true.

Proverbs are known to be simple traditional statements that actually express perceived truth and which is usually based on experience or common sense. They can be metaphorical.

Give an example of a role conflict Chris Gardner faces please help I need this to graduate
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It was back in the early 1980s that Mr Gardner, then aged 27, and his toddler son were homeless for a year in San Francisco.

Enrolled on a low-paid trainee scheme at a stock brokerage, he didn't have enough money to raise the deposit to rent an apartment.

So Mr Gardner, who was estranged from his partner, and Chris Jr would instead sleep wherever they could.

In addition to the toilet at a railway station, they'd bed down in parks, at a church shelter, or under his desk at work after everyone else had gone home.

They ate in soup kitchens, and what little money he had was spent on putting his son in day nursery so he could go to work.

Despite this adversity, Mr Gardner thrived in his job. A natural at selling stocks and shares, at the end of his training period his firm, Dean Witter Reynolds (DWR), made him a full employee.

Finally able to rent a home for himself and his son, his career then rapidly ascended into the stratosphere, and in 1987 he opened his own investment firm, Gardner Rich.
