Answer:

The magi symbolize the spirit of giving.

Explanation:

Although all the answers are correct, this is the statement that BEST represents the use of symbolism in the story because this is the statement that shows a metaphor that is carried throughout the whole story. The magi are the wise men who visited Jesus and gave him presents. They are used as a symbol to show the spirit of giving. The story also identifies the magi with the two lovers, as they have truly understood the spirit of giving, and are, in this way, as wise as the magi.

How would someone who is trying to conform use a facade
andrew-mc [135]
Well, a facade is a made up impression, story or situation, so somebody trying to conform to society persay is using a facade by pretending to be what they're not. Like say everyone in your class hates oranges, but oranges are your favorite fruit, so you're conforming if you pretend you hate oranges too.

. Read the sentence and identify the (antecedent) that corresponds with the bolded pronoun. (Several) of the guests wandered in
sladkih [1.3K]
Okay, an antecedent of a pronoun is always a noun, so immediately you can reject the words late and wandered as incorrect answers, because late is an adjective, and wandered is a verb. This leaves us with two nouns, guests and party. Obviously, the pronoun several refers to the noun guests, so the correct answer is guests - that is the antecedent that corresponds with the pronoun. Several guests, not several parties.

Consider the last two lines of the poem again. Why do you think the old woman sees herself as a terrible fish? Why did she choos
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

Explanation:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

The mirror explains, in the final lines, "In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."

The woman was said to have awatched as her youth slowly disappear or fade over the years of looking into the same mirror, which is why the mirror interprets that as a kind of "drowning" of the woman's youth. While te "terrible fish," then, is the specter of old age, the total loss of youth and vitality.
