English

The connotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt is something powerful and threatening.

A fault line is a break in the Earth's surface. It is mainly used to talk about a crack that occurs when the Earth's tectonic plates move or shift. In this excerpt in particular, <u>"fault line" has been used in a metaphorical way to refer to the power that world wars have to create a fracture between nations and the power they have to bring destruction.</u> In that way, "fault lines" has a negative connotative meaning in this excerpt, which means that unpleasant emotions are associated to that word. Moreover, wars are also conceived as something negative in these lines.

If those are the answers, powerful and threatening would best fit. If not, I must be misinterpreting.

Please help me for composition about angsi mountain
sertanlavr [38]

I was recently interviewed by a local publication that features a person who has had a defining moment in his/her life, a milestone moment which led to change in his/her perspective/lifestyle/goals. I described the moment when I went on my first mountain climb in 2012 as part of a spiritual climb that changed my life and started my love for the outdoors. I did it with my son in darkness, nothing distracting me except for the stars above. Every step was a prayer, every breath a worship.

2015 did not exactly get off to a good start as I had faced the first few days of the new year mourning the loss of a family member. I thought that it was a good opportunity for me to spend some time back into the arms of nature, contemplating life and some reflections to set the year ahead straight – just like my very first climb.

Write an essay<br>on the topic of "historical place of Nepal<br>​
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Surrounded by the majestic Himalayas on all sides, Nepal certainly abounds in pristine natural beauty. ... Being a melting pot of Buddhist and Hindu ideologies, Nepal has a rich history that is unique and enchanting. From massive Hindu temples to quaint Buddhist monasteries and architectural masterpieces, Nepal has it all.

Changu Narayan is a synonymous word with both the old Nepalese temple and the village that surrounds it. Located in the Bhaktapur district some 12 km east of Kathmandu, the existence of this temple is more or less the only reason the village called Changu Narayan is known to the outside world.

The Durbar Square is a public area containing centuries-old royal palaces and adjoining temples, gardens and other monuments from the times when Nepal was three separate kingdoms. The entire area consists of four main squares where you can spot temples dedicated to various Hindu deities like Bhairava, Pashupatinath, Krishna and Shiv-Parvati, gates like Lion Gate and Golden Gate, the 55 Window Palace, statue of King Bhupatindra Malla, and many such beautiful strucutres.

Nepal no doubt is one of the most historical magical places filled with noble mystery.
