What is a duke, duchess, and baron?

English
2 answers:
Elodia [21]3 years ago

Dukes and duchesses ruled areas called "duchies". These duchies were rarely their own countries, and usually parts of a larger sovereign country ruled by a king and queen. So there would be one king and one queen ruling a country, for example, but there could be several dukes and duchesses ruling smaller territories of the country. Dukes and duchesses are always lower than kings and queens.

Barons and baronesses are the lowest ranking of the nobles. I'm not certain what power they had but I'm pretty sure the title was mostly honorary.

A basic hierarchy would look something like this:

Emperor/Empress

King/Queen

Archduke

Grand Duke

Prince/Princess

Duke/Duchess

Marquess/Marchioness

Earl

Baron/Baroness

I'm pretty sure I left a few titles out, but hopefully that answered your question.

Answer:

A duke is the member of nobility that ranks just below the monarch. A duke is a ruler of a 'duchy' (county, territory or domain). It's also tradition for men of the royal family to get a new title when they marry - often taking on duke status.

A duchess is the wife or widow of a duke, or a woman who equal holds the rank of duke in her own right. Baron is a rank of nobility or title of honor, often hereditary. The female equivalent is baroness.

A baron is a member of the lowest order of the British nobility. A baron is a nobleman — a member of the aristocracy. Barons are also important, powerful businessmen with huge influence over their industries.

Answer:

I believe its C, but my mind said B

Explanation:

Basically 2 of those sentences are run-ons, and you don't want that, right?

The first one has too many pauses. The use of periods, to be exact. Thats wrong.

B makes sense a little because theres mostly pauses, and I'm sure that won't make sense.

C has to be correct because its more clear and makes alot of sense but look back at the answer:

"Trying desperately to remember the questions, she had for the mobster, Raven steadied her voice, then began", but I'm not EXACTLY sure though, because after "then began", there is supposed to be a comma after she starts talking.

D just doesn't make any sense. Its just a still sentence. So many pauses.

So, its probably going to be.... C, I believe. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

How does paragraph 2 contribute to the structure of the interview? (R17.5)
9966 [12]

Paragraph 2 contributes to the structure of the interview in that: B. It explains how the setting affected the rescue.

In paragraph 2 of NOAA's Big Miracle Worker, we learn of the interview with the biologist, David Withrow. In paragraph 2 of the interview, Withrow spoke extensively of the weather condition in the area where the rescue was to be made.

The temperature was very low and this drew the interest of a lot of people to the rescue of the whales.

So, paragraph 2 explains how the setting affected the rescue.
