Answer:
A moral dilemma is shown here
Explanation:
Starting with the last word, <em>perfidy </em>is a deliberate breach of faith or trust; in the context of war - we can assume that this the case because of the word <em>peace</em><em> loving country</em> - perfidy can actually lead to warcrimes, like waving a white flag and then kill the enemy.
So the moral dilemma is that a country is very likely to be uncomfortable with a pact, the other side probably being a bit of a war loving country, but diplomatic relations deny the possibility of breaking the pact.
The part <em>not wishing to take the initiative of breaking the pact </em>is, if I´m not mistaken, a subordinate adjective clause that refers to the noun <em>country</em>.
So this country, not wishing etc., could not resort to perfidy either. Because that would be even worse, considering the fact that it is a peace loving country.
A dependent clause can act as an adjective, adverb, or noun.
Answer:
The author intends for the reader to reflect further upon the husband's inner life and emotions.
Explanation:
The text presents a man who receives a romantic and very sentimental letter from a young woman who loved him. This young woman died and this man was married to another woman, who does not seem to have the same emotion towards him. The last paragraph reveals that the man is sorry for not having had a romance with the author of the letter who seemed to truly love him. For this reason, he lets out sighs of memories, making the reader reflect on his previous life and the emotions he had.
Is this a multiple choice question or a written answer?
