<span>The lines,

"Marble-heavy, a bag full of God,
Ghastly statue with one gray toe"

as well as

"Daddy, I have had to kill you"

have a metaphorical meaning. "Marble-heavy [...] toe" refers to her father's time as a soldier. As her father was in the military she had difficulty finding a connection with him. "Ghastly statue", specifically, indicates that her father seemed emotionless and that she had difficulty, once again, caring about him because she did not know him. Finally, the author had to kill her father metaphorically because she never got to know him, and felt more comfortable burying his existence away from her in an act, perhaps, of shame for what he did or perhaps fear of recalling a fatherless, melancholy past. 

You could say that tone is: patricide, coldness, distance, disconnection, isolation, etc.

Properties of light such as its brightness, color, and frequency can all be used to support which idea about light?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

A) Light is made up of waves.

Explanation:

Light is a form of electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves consist of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate periodically in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave, therefore they are transverse in nature.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Moreover, electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types depending on their frequency and wavelength. From lowest to highest frequency (and so, from longest to shortest wavelength), we have:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

X-rays

Gamma rays

Visible light is part of this electromagnetic spectrum, and corresponds to the part of the electromagnetic waves that our eye is able to see. In particular, we perceive waves of different wavelength and frequency as different colors: for instance, violet/blue light corresponds to the shortest wavelength that we can see, while red light corresponds to the longest wavelength that we are able to see.

Also, for visible light wave we can describe their brightness, which corresponds to the intensity of the wave, which is a property of all waves.

So the correct answer is

A) Light is made up of waves

How did patriarchal social organization develop in both pastoralists and agrarian societies?
loris [4]
 They mostly developed because men did most of the work. Agrarian societies required hard work and toiling out in the field while pastoralism required people to take care of numerous animals at once and these animals often needed human strength and speed. Thanks to this, men were the ones who did those jobs and since they were valued more than taking care of the household, gender inequality originated.
