  The correct option is number 4. He finds Ernest´s cigarette case inscribed with the name Jack.

  At the beggining of the play Algernon, Jack´s best friend and cousin of Gwendolen Fairfax the love interest of Ernest, found an inscription in his cigarette case addressed to "Uncle Jack" from someone who refers herself as "Little Cecily".

  Algernon suspects that Jack who he knows as Ernest is leading a double life and called him a Bunburyist after a non existent friend Algernon pretend to have.

  Algernon had invented a chronic invalid characer named Bunbury to give him a suspension of his real life. He must be near his deathbed which conveniently draw him away from his social obligations which bored him. Unlike Jack who did not admit even to himself the fictionality of Ernest; Algernon admits his wrongdoing and revels on it.

  Soon after he beggins to suspect on Jack´s double life he presented to his door and announced his intentions to marry Gwendolen. Algernon confronted him with his discovery and demands to know the truth, Jack confesses and tells him who Cecily was and without meaning to awoke Algernon´s attention toward his ward.

  Algernon decides to put Bunbury aside and create another fictional character, he would be Jack´s brother Ernest to catch Cecily´s attention and heart.

  I hope this answer is correct and help you. I give a little resume of the act I and part of the second one in order to not spoil the rest of the play if you have not read it yet. If you have any doubt don´t hesitate to ask. Greetings.

How does Lennie’s problem with the puppy foreshadow later events?
lana [24]

Answer: The demise of his little dog doesn't legitimately portend Lennie's passing, as the components among Lennie's and its passing are genuinely different. The doggy's demise does, nonetheless, foresee the passing of Curley's better half, who, similar to the little dog, is coincidentally executed by Lennie.

In excerpt from "President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address," what does President Obama argue?
Vlad [161]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the excerpt from Barack Obama. Without the excerpt, we do not what you are talking about.

However, trying to help you, we did some research and can comment on the following.

The correct answer is "It is the duty of Congress to set aside differences to help America progress."

In the excerpt from "President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address," what does President Obama argue?

Answer:

"It is the duty of Congress to set aside differences to help America progress."

Former President Barack Obama argued that during his state of the Union Address because he wanted to put an end to the differences the legislative branch had with the executive branch, in order to progress with the legislations that were stuck in Congress, and Obama considered were necessary to help the country.

It is common that the President and Congress have political differences. More, when Congress is controlled by a different political party. In this case, Republicans controlled the majority in Congress. So, sometimes Congress rejects a bill from the executive, and other times the President exerts his veto power over legislation created in Congress.

What "sickness" has lady Macbeth acquired​
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia

Explanation:

In the play, we are presented with many variations and interpretations of mental sickness that Lady Macbeth develops, being the central one madness. However, madness would be too general and abstract to answer this question. Diving deeper in her symptoms, it becomes more and more logic (however not explicit) that she suffered from bipolar disorder, by showing the symptoms of inflated or self-esteem grandiosity. Another possibility is that she had at the same time schizophrenia developing psychosis and hearing voices.
