This is another excuse that the Captain Beatty gives to Montag for why destroying books is good for the society. According to him, any person can potentially be offended by a subject, also he argues that all books are better off destroyed than allowed to incite anger. Captain Beatty uses an example of a book and linking it tobacco and cancer. Something curious is that he shows the benefit of destroying information about lung cancer to keep cigarette companies happy, but there are risks that we can see since people will be less informed of what smoking can do.

Hope this helps.

A) Determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text.
kati45 [8]

1. The Prioress's description reveals the theme of delicacy, modesty and elegance that the churches represented. Although Catholicism preached the benefits of poverty, the church was elegant, beautiful, with a noble appearance, but modest behavior, just as the Prioress represented. She also shows the ideal feminine standard for the time, being highly praised, but chaste and modest.

2. The monk also suggests the refinement and wealth that could be observed in churches. However, the monk preaches about the benefits of poverty, which can show the inconsistency and hypocrisy that the clergy presented, this is also reinforced by the fact that the monk does not present himself as an evil character, but we also cannot say that there is goodness in him.

3. The friar represents the ambition of the churches, since he shows himself as a charming and wise man, but he is disguised and pretended and is always ready to hamper the faithful and use their faith to obtain large collections that increase their wealth.

4. Parson represents the goodness and faithfulness of the church in following the principles of christ, helping the poor, being honest and upright. He is described as a man of God, who has not been corrupted by wealth, lives a humble life and helps the faithful without asking for large payments.

Read the two excerpts from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

A)  Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.

Explanation:

Brutus and Antony both ask rhetorical questions. Isn't it? "Would you rather Caesar live and all slaves die than Caesar die and all free men live? ...Who is a bondman here?" Asks Antony "Did Caesar appear ambitious? Was it a goal?"

The other choices are incorrect. Brutus' ambition is not positive. He says he killed Caesar for his ambition. He probably wouldn't have killed him if he valued ambition. They didn't mention Caesar's flaws. Using the pronoun "you" directly addresses the crowd.
