Incomplete question. But I inferred you are referring to the article "A Guide to Exiles, Expatriates, and Internal Emigrés" by Mary McCarthy. The paragraph reads;

"More than anybody (except lovers), exiles are dependent on mail. A Greek writer friend in Paris was the only person I knew to suffer real pain during the events of May, 1968, when the mail was cut off..".

Answer:

to show an exemption

Explanation:

This exemption could read this way;

"With the exemption of lovers, exiles are dependent on mail more than anyone". What this means is that lovers use mails far more than exiles because of their emotional connection. But when you are not lovers, then exiles do more of mailing than you do.

Answer:

"The more information those leaders have the better chance they have of making the right choices."

Explanation:

You can not assume that more information leads to better changes of making "the right choices." This would not be opinionated if it were referring to a historical event where this was the case, but in general this is simply an opinion and can't be supported with evidence, unlike the other sentences.

Antonio seems to have it all. Why, then, is Antonio so sad? Why doesn't he know the cause of his sadness? What guesses do Solani

larisa86 [58]

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "Merchant of Venice."

1. Antonio is sad for no apparent reason, but nothing makes him happy and he has an irrational and unreasonable melancholy. Not knowing what causes sadness makes him sadder and in addition to being confused, the reader also cannot find out the reason for the sadness.

2. Solanio and Salerio believe that this sadness can have many reasons, mainly reasons related to the heart and business. In that case, they believe that he may be in love or worried about finances.

3. What helps Antonio to improve is to talk to his friends.
