Answer:

The "shattered visage" (line 4) from Ozymandias refers to

a) the broken-off head of the statue

Explanation:

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

"Ozymandias" is a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley in which the speaker recounts the words of a traveler. The traveler has found the ruins of what was once a kingdom. Among them, the statue of the king, Ozymandias, was also in ruins. The head of the statue had broken off of it, now lying in the sand, half sunk. However, the once imposing expression on the king's face remained, unaware of the destruction surrounding it, still claiming power over others although they are all long gone now. In line 4, "shattered visage" refers to this broken-off head.

How does the outsiders relate to the theme of cultural traditions?

solmaris [256]

The Outsiders tells the story of two groups of teenagers whose bitter rivalry stems from socioeconomic differences. However, Hinton suggests, these differences in social class do not necessarily make natural enemies of the two groups. The greasers and Socs share some things in common. Cherry Valance, a Soc, and Ponyboy Curtis, a greaser, discuss their shared love of literature, popular music, and sunsets, transcending—if only temporarily—the divisions that feed the feud between their respective groups. Their harmonious conversation suggests that shared passions can fill in the gap between rich and poor. This potential for agreement marks a bright spot in the novel’s gloomy prognosis that the battle between the classes is a long-lasting one. Over the course of the novel, Ponyboy begins to see the pattern of shared experience. He realizes that the hardships that greasers and Socs face may take different practical forms, but that the members of both groups—and youths everywhere—must inevitably come to terms with fear, love, and sorrow.

Give 3 DIFFERENT reasons why female and male training in the military should be separate. pls help me LOTS OF POINTS!!!!!!!!

liubo4ka [24]

Scientifically, men are more physically capable. So expecting all female recruits to complete all physical fitness tests as quick or lifting the same amount as a male can be difficult for some of the females.

That's the only reason I could come up with and even this reason is questionable.

Hope you get your answers.
