English

The speaker meant to suggest that humans, like trees, must give freely to thrive when he compares humans to trees.  

Answer: B

Explanation

This is based on an excerpt taken from the poem 'The Prophet'.

This is written by Khalil Gibran in 1923.

The poem talks about love, religion, giving, work, marriage, etc.

On talking about giving, the speaker compares to trees as every tree gives its fruits to people and when a tree stops giving, it indicates that the tree is dead.

Likewise, humans are responsible to give to others.

Write an essay that analyzes the use of poetry in Through the Looking-Glass
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The nonsensical poetry of Through the Looking-Glass highlights how difficult it is for the characters to communicate with each other.It is especially significant that nursery rhymes come true after Alice recites them.I think that Alice needs to stop arguing with the characters she meets in the Looking-Glass land and just accept the rules.The strange characters of the Looking-Glass World emphasize its peculiarity.Because Alice is an outsider, she has many difficulties navigating through and understanding the rules of the Looking-Glass land.Alice matures on her journey through the Looking-Glass land; for example, she learns to control her emotions.

What can be inferred about kenniston from this line
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

From this line, we can infer that kenniston is very responsible; organized. I'm not sure of the entire context of the story, but from this sentence, we can see that kenniston is most likely a natural leader, declining a suggestion (whatever it is) that would prevent him from carrying out his duties/responsibilities.
