Answer:

to foreshadow how the haircut will affect Bernice

Explanation:

The given excerpt is taken from "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is a short story written in 1920. The story was first published in May 1920 in the Saturday Evening Post.

The story is about a wealthy girl named, Bernice. In the month of August, she pays a visit to her cousin's house, Marjorie. Bernice is unattractive and no boy wants to dance with her. Her cousin then teaches how to be a 'society girl' and teaches her how to flirt with boys. After learning all these manners, Bernice becomes talk of the society specially among boys. Warren who was first interested in Bernice cousin, Marjorie, shifts his interest to Bernice. Jealous of this, Marjorie, tricks Bernice in bobbing her hair. After the hair-cut, Bernice again become less attractive to boys. There's a party held in the honor of Marjorie and her mother, so, Bernice decides to leave before the party. But before leaving, she sneaks into the room of Marjorie and cuts her braids.

In the given passage, Fitzgerald used the metaphor of 'guillotine' to foreshadow that this haircut is going to have an effect on Bernice.

'Guillotine' is a tool used to behead criminals.

This use of metaphor shows that Bernice is now going to be beheaded and this is going to impact Bernice's social life again.

So, the correct answer is second option.

At which intersection is turning left at a red light permitted? Drivers eddddcuation
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The intersection at which turning left at a red light is permitted is the one illustrated in Option C because there are no oncoming vehicles from the opposite side of where the driver is coming from.

This ultimately implies that, the driver in Option C has a right of way since there isn't any vehicular movement on the opposite lane and as such there wouldn't be a head-on collision.

However, the driver should ensure that there are enough space between him (her) and the vehicle coming from the right side.

What does this interaction reveal about Antony’s agenda? He intends to make Lepidus one of the leaders of the divided empire. He
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

He plans to remove Lepidus from power once he has served his purpose.

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", the character of Lepidus has just three dialogues in the whole play. He was to be one of the three members of the Second Triumvirate, after the death of Julius Caesar.

Antony plans to use Lepidus as much as he can but he thinks that he is not worthy to be a part of the new Second Triumvirate. In Act Act IV scene i, we see the three members of the Second Triumvirate - Antony, Octavius and Lepidus deciding who should be killed for the murder of Caesar. Lepidus's brother and Antony's nephew must also die for their involvement in the murder. After that was decided,  Antony sent Lepidus to go and get Caesar's will from his house. After he left, Antony remarked to Octavius that Lepidus is just meant to obey orders and not be a leader, not fit for being a part of the Triumvirate. He said that "<em>He must be taught and trained and bid go forth,  A barren-spirited fellow, one that feeds  On objects, arts, and imitations</em>". This shows that he plans to remove Lepidus from power once he has served his purpose.
