Read the lines from Book 1 of Paradise Lost. Fall'n Cherub, to be weak is miserable Doing or Suffering: but of this be sure, To

Answer:

The character that says these words is Satan.  He is speaking to the other fallen angels.

Explanation:

Before these lines begin, it is said that Satan is going to say the following words "whereto with speedy words th' Arch-fiend repli'd." The "arch-fiend" is like a super enemy, arch (means superior) fiend (enemy).

Two of the main phrases that prove that Satan is talking are the following:

  • "<em>To do aught good never will be our task, But ever to do ill our sole delight" </em>= Doing good action will never be our thing, we only find pleasure in doing bad things.
  • <em>"As being the contrary to his high will whom we resist"</em> = since we are the contrary of God, the one we resist.

Which of these is a proper noun?<br> A. Doctor<br> B. Uncle<br> C. Tim<br> D. Robot
natima [27]

Tim is someone's name, and thus, <u>is a proper noun.</u>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u> A proper noun is a specific noun. For example, "lake" is a common noun and thus do not need capitalization but Lake Michigan is a specific noun (because it's a specific place) and does need capitalized. All proper nouns need capitalization, and a common proper noun is someone's name.

Doctor can be used generally, you could say, "I think I need to go see a doctor" so that's not it

Uncle could work if you were referring to someone specifically. "My uncle is coming over" is using it in a general sense, but, "My Uncle John is coming over" is more specific, so that would be a specific noun but in this case, it isn't.

<u></u>

Robot by itself is a common noun so it isn't an option. For example, "did you see this cool robot she's working on?" It's used in a general sense.
