Answer:
B. "He was probably grumpy because he was older than dirt."
Explanation:
In the passage above, an idiomatic expression is used when the speaker used the phrase, 'older than dirt'. An idiom is a phrase that is not meant to be be interpreted literally with the individual words used although there are few instances where this may occur.
The term 'older than dirt' means that a person or animal is very old. It was originally coined from the dirt found at the surface of the earth, believed to have existed for thousands of years.
Answer:
secondary source
Explanation:
An encyclopedia entry about the Battle of Gettysburg is considered a secondary source of information.
The Battle of Gettysburg was fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point.
An encyclopedia is considered a secondary and even tertiary source. It is secondary because it does not include first-hand account of the (historical) events, and it is considered tertiary because it mostly quotes/cites other secondary sources such as journals, newspaper articles, books etc.
A primary source consists of only first-hand accounts of the experiences and events.
A secondary source consists of analyses, critical essays about first-hand accounts (primary sources).
I know for a fact that either B. or C. is correct. I think C.
The correct answer is: C."Or art thou but / A dagger of the mind".
This option best demonstrates that the dagger Macbeth sees is an illusion, because Macbeth states that dagger he sees is possibly "a dagger of the mind". Macbeth is a famous play written by William Shakespeare. The plot of the play involves a Scottish general, called Macbeth, who believes a prophecy, and kills King Duncan, in order to replace King Duncan as the King of Scotland. After Macbeth kills the King, he experiences guilt and unrest, which in turn leads to him experiencing hallucinations. Thus, Macbeth sees daggers that are imaginary, as he experiences hallucinations.
