Answer:

Letter A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Importance of Being Earnest was written by Oscar Wilde, an English writer. In general, the play talks about society standards and how they can be hard to achieve.

A paradox puts two things that seems to be contradictory to show a new result. A pun is used to create a humorous or rhetorical effect through homonyms or words that can have more than one meaning according to the context. Due to this, the phrase "my part would not be out of place" contains a paradox (a part belonging to one self <em>out</em> of one self) and a pun by the meaning of the sentence.

Why does nuclear fusion happen only in the sun's core?
Alexxx [7]

the core's extreme temperature and density are just right for the nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium through the proton-proton chain.Energy is made through the process of nuclear fusion. This is when two hydrogen nuclei join to make helium. This occurs in the sun's core where there is very high pressure and temperature.

Nuclear fusion of hydrogen to form helium occurs naturally in the sun and other stars. It takes place only at extremely high temperatures. That’s because a great deal of energy is needed to overcome the force of repulsion between the positively charged nuclei. The sun’s energy comes from fusion in its core, shown in the Figure below. In the core, temperatures reach millions of degrees Kelvin.

I want narrative writing guys , also I have to submitted now!!!
Svet_ta [14]
A) My childhood had always been filled with wonderful friends that I could count on. Although was it only later did I realize that friendships never last. Whilst everyone was growing up, and facing that they wouldn’t have the same friends forever, I had to be faced with the cold truth to realize that friends are never going to be by your side when you grow up. Yes there are some friends that are with you forever, although those are rare.

During my time in elementary I had realized that friendships are easily developed there. It is simple to ask, “would you like to play with me?” or, “would you like to be friends?” Whilst in the future it is harder.

In elementary I had developed a very strong bond with a friend and soon after when we had to attend middle school did I notice that we weren’t going to stay close much longer.

Later we parted ways and only talked less and less on the phone. When we started to attend after school activities, I noticed our bond was breaking. When trying to contact (friend name) I had not been able to reach (him/her)....

Now I am in (high school/ middle school/ college) and I have many other friends. I have realized that I don’t need just one friend, because having many is so much better.

I have no idea where my old friend is now, or how (he/she) is doing but I wish her the best.

Which statement about cover letters is true ?
jok3333 [9.3K]

The correct option is A. Cover letter should expand on the information is a résumé, not simply restate it.

A cover letter is a single-page letter written to the person or organisation offering the job you're applying for. A well-written cover letter should introduce you and encourage the person reading it to read your resume. A cover letter should be personalized and demonstrate that the applicant has done his or her research on the company.
