Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest.

Gwendolen. [To Jack.] Darling!

Algernon. [To Cecily.] Darling! [They fall into each other's arms.]

[Enter Merriman. When he enters he coughs loudly, seeing the situation.]

Merriman. Ahem! Ahem! Lady Bracknell!

Jack. Good heavens!

[Enter Lady Bracknell. The couples separate in alarm. Exit Merriman.]

Lady Bracknell. Gwendolen! What does this mean?

In contrast to reading the scene, seeing the staged version of the scene would improve its aesthetic impact by allowing the audience to

A)see a single narrator, thereby adding to the drama.

B)watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.

C)witness different characters, thereby adding more tension.

D)view it being told in the past tense, thereby adding excitement.

Answer:

B)watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.

Explanation:

The dialogue of the drama is filled with humor and mire as the two lovers are seen by Merriman who has come to announce the arrival of Lady Bracknell.

The entire scene would be more hilarious to viewers who would watch the stage re-enactments because they would see the action, observe the body language of each of the characters and enjoy the humorous scene more thoroughly than reading about it.

<span>C. Is the correct answer here - bought is based on the root verb 'buy or to buy' but its sense in the sentence is set against the framework of a time from the phrase with the word 'During' and so the word of choice must become 'bought'.</span>

1. You have learned a little bit about many of the characters in The Canterbury Tales, and you have learned a lot about the Wife
Tanya [424]
<span>Squire With him there was his son, a youthful squire, A lover and a lusty bachelor, With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press. Some twenty years of age he was, I guess. In stature he was of an average length, Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength. He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy, And borne him well within that little space In hope to win thereby his lady's grace. Prinked out he was, as if he were a mead, All full of fresh-cut flowers white and red. Singing he was, or fluting, all the day; He was as fresh as is the month of May. Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide. Well could be sit on horse, and fairly ride. He could make songs and words thereto indite, Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write. So hot he loved that, while night told her tale, He slept no more than does a nightingale. Courteous he, and humble, willing and able, And carved before his father at the table.</span>

I need the Assessment Question answers to Commonlit ( An incredible job: being America's President) ASAP​
elixir [45]

Answer:

The President of the United States is the most important political figure in the nation, being the leader of the executive branch of the federal government and, therefore, the head of state and government of the United States of America. The main tasks of the President are the exercise of the executive function of the federal government, that is, to administer the country and to supervise the correct fulfillment of the laws.

The position of President is designated by means of elections, in which the Electoral College designates which candidate will be the one to carry out said function during the 4 years following the election. The President can be reelected for another 4 years, but only once, after which he will not be able to access that position again.

Today, the President is Donald Trump, although Joe Biden was elected to fill that position from 2021 to 2024.

Identify the subordinating conjunction: where there is smoke, there is fire.
natka813 [3]
Although there are no conjunctions in this sentence, I guess that the adverb where can be used as a "subordinating conjunction" in the sentence, because it connects the subordinate and the independent clauses.
