This is FALSE, based on general knowledge of language arts and literacy.
Introductions can be many things, it does NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO start with a question.

Answer:
Comfort and warmth.
That the father feels very comfortable digging.
Explanation:
<em>Digging</em> is a poem written by Seamus Heaney, describing the life of the speaker through the act of potato digging which was the primary means of livelihood in Ireland. The poem compares the lives of the speaker, his father, and his grandfather.
The word <em>"nestled" </em>is used in the first line of the fourth stanza- <em>"The coarse boot nestled on the lug"</em>. The word in itself is typically associated with <u>warmth and comfort, safety, and peace</u>. And the speaker's use of this word to describe how his father's boots were <em>"nestled on the lug"</em> seems to suggest that his father felt comfortable and safe in the work he is doing, that of digging potatoes.
Because they were easier to hide than men
Answer:
Hawthorne alludes, or refers, to the Virgin Mary in Chapter 2 in the Scarlet Letter.
a) This allusion is appropriate as Hawthorne compares Hester's pregnancy to the Virgin Mary's conception of the child Jesus. The two could be said to have become pregnant without their natural husbands.
b) However, the allusion becomes inappropriate and ironic because Hester conceived by committing adultery. On the other hand, the Virgin Mary became pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit and not through sexual intercourse with any human being.
c) Hawthorne was simply satirizing the Puritans to the effect that they did not practice what they claimed that they believed in. They were just sanctimonious, harboring impure thoughts, and committing sins with reckless abandon. They also tried to deny human sexual needs; at the same time, they were busy secretly satisfying their sexual appetites.
Explanation:
The Scarlet Letter (1850) was authored by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The historical fiction chronicled some important human realities, including guilt, stigmatization, revenge, and redemption. It contrasted Hester's public humiliation for adultery, as she was forced to wear the scarlet letter A, with Dimmesdale's private shame and anguish for private sins.
