What is the essence of such Wildean aphorisms (a witty saying that contains a general truth) as the following "[Women flirting w

Explanation:

The lines quoted in question are taken from "Importance of Being Earnest"

The essence is that the writer is criticizing the action of people especially women for their behavior in public. He has done that in metaphorical way and quoting the practice of women doing flirt with husbands on public places during Victorian Era. He said that just like there is no need of washing a white cloth similarly women don’t need to flirt with those , whom they already love

Answer:

<em>She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of  rain was in the air. In the street below peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached  her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.</em>

Explanation:

Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour" is about the character of Mrs. Mallard and how she develops as a woman, depicted through the news of her husband's death. The short story deals with themes of gender, freedom, repression, identity, self-discovery, etc.

When Mrs. Mallard heard of the news of her husband's death, she did not react like a normal woman whose husband had just died would have reacted. Rather, she went into another room and stayed there, thinking of the freedom she's just been given. The narrator uses the words <em>"open"</em>, <em>"new spring of life"</em>, <em>"delicious breath of rain"</em>, etc. which all exude a positive attitude rather than the expected gloomy reaction or observation for someone who's just lost a loved one.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

1. Why are slave masters along Maryland's Eastern Shore concerned? What do they do in response?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Maryland remained in the Union, but slavery remained a reality in Maryland's agricultural areas like the Eastern Shore.  President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which went into effect Jan. 1, 1863, technically applied to the states that had seceded.  Maryland did not act to end slavery within its borders until November 1, 1864.
