Which sentence in this excerpt from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" portrays the theme of evil? "A

las!" replied our visitor, "the very horror of my situation lies in the fact that my fears are so vague, and my suspicions depend so entirely upon small points, which might seem trivial to another, that even he to whom of all others I have a right to look for help and advice looks upon all that I tell him about it as the fancies of a nervous woman. He does not say so, but I can read it from his soothing answers and averted eyes. But I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart. You may advise me how to walk amid the dangers which encompass me." "I am all attention, madam." "My name is Helen Stoner, and I am living with my stepfather, who is the last survivor of one of the oldest Saxon families in England, the Roylotts of Stoke Moran, on the western border of Surrey." Holmes nodded his head. "The name is familiar to me," said he. "The family was at one time among the richest in England, and the estates extended over the borders into Berkshire in the north, and Hampshire in the west. In the last century, however, four successive heirs were of a dissolute and wasteful disposition, and the family ruin was eventually completed by a gambler in the days of the Regency. Nothing was left save a few acres of ground, and the two-hundred-year-old house, which is itself crushed under a heavy mortgage. The last squire dragged out his existence there, living the horrible life of an aristocratic pauper; but his only son, my stepfather, seeing that he must adapt himself to the new conditions, obtained an advance from a relative, which enabled him to take a medical degree and went out to Calcutta, where, by his professional skill and his force of character, he established a large practice. In a fit of anger, however, caused by some robberies which had been perpetrated in the house, he beat his native butler to death and narrowly escaped a capital sentence. As it was, he suffered a long term of imprisonment and afterwards returned to England a morose and disappointed man.

In the memoir Bad Boy, which of the following is closest to the figurative meaning of the phrase “daughter of the Wicked Witch?”
Hitman42 [59]

The expression "daughter of the Wicked Witch" means that the girl's mother is a person that the narrator neither likes nor sympathizes with, because she acted in a bad way towards him.

You didn't provide the answer options, but we can come up with that answer because:

  • "Bad Boy: Memoir" is an autobiographical book by writer Walter Dean Myers.
  • In this book, he tells of his experiences up to the age of seventeen.
  • He showed that he had difficulty with words during his childhood and adolescence, but he was very fond of games and comic books.
  • However, one day, Mrs. Dodson encouraged his mother to forbid him to have access to games and comic books, as that was a bad influence on him.
  • His mother agreed with her and threw out every game and comic book he had.

He was very distressed by this event and began referring to Mrs. Dodson as Wicked Witch, as someone who caused a bad situation, such as a witch. He also started calling her daughter, Dorothy Dodson, as the daughter of Wicked Witch, which became ironic, given the girl's name.

What are the relationships among the Aztec gods?
lesya [120]
The Aztecs had great respect for their many gods and goddesses. Convinced natural disasters, such as drought, were caused by the emotions of Aztec gods, they had good reason to make sure to always keep these gods pleased, especially those most powerful within the complex hierarchy of divinity established by the Aztec religion. This hierarchy ranked gods as higher or lower largely based on their function. The Aztecs worshipped over 100 Gods and goddesses<span>, and each one of these represented the functions and elements of nature such as the sun, the moon, the rain, maize, fertility, etc. A favorable relationship between humans and the gods helped maintain the fragile balance found in nature and necessary for harmonious existence.</span>

Choose the best summary of this statement: "What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

A rose, if called something entirely different, would still smell as sweetly as it does with the name "rose." Juliet likens this to Romeo - Romeo is still the man she loves had he a different name. ... This quote suggests Shakespeare's belief that a name means little - it is the worth of the individual that counts.
