Answer:

c. The stress on know and fate emphasizes the speaker's certainty that he will die in combat.

Explanation:

William Butler Yeats wrote this poem "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" after the death of Robert Gregory. This poem is a sort of a man accepting his fate, which he seems to be certain of.

The pilot n the poem, also the speaker is an Irishman who held no attachment for any parties of the war. He does not love the country he's fighting for, nor does he hate the enemy side. He also seems to be reconciled with the fact that he will surely die, while flying. He knows for sure that he will "meet (his) fate Somewhere among the clouds above". This shows that it emphasizes the speaker's certainty that he will die in combat. Also, there are n mention of any friends nor of any selfish feelings or self-centeredness in the speaker.

sdas [7]
It depends what that ‘something’ is, if it’s really important then yes, point it out so you don’t forget it later. If it’s something small then there is little to no need to say it

"If you have a natural talent like dancing, singing, touching your nose to your tongue or anything you could make someone smile.
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Not quite there! :)

Explanation:

"If you have a natural talent like dancing, singing, touching your nose to your tongue or anything you could make someone smile. We all need it this time of the year."

You see, first off; you can't physically touch your nose to your tongue, it should be "Touching your tongue to your nose". :)

I would add in the phrase, "Such as" instead of "Like" to make it ring better!

Next I would change "or anything you could make someone smile" to: "or anything you could use to make someone smile". Using the words "USE" and "TO"  help get the meaning across.

"If you have a natural talent such as dancing, singing, touching your tongue to your nose or anything you could use to make someone smile; we can all use it this time of the year."

In this case, it may flow better! :)

Read this passage from mary shelley's frankenstein:as the day was fair, and the wind favorable, we resolved to go by water. . .
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The best option is: "b. as an alluring display".

Explanation:

Although letter "a" is a possible answer, it is not correct to state that because Nature is not a piece-giving gift for the characters in this passage, as they are more close to admire the beauty of the scene rather than feeling that inside of their own senses. Letter "c" is not possible because the characters are not "detached observers", they are living and going through Nature very close. Letter "d" does not make sense as an answer because Nature is not portrayed as bothersome, it is the contrary. Therefore, letter "b" is the best option for it presents the natural environment as an alluring and enchanting display, as almost a cool painting.
