The correct answer is B) cross-dressing.

Indeed, a transvestite is a male or a female that dresses up in clothing from the gender opposite to their biological gender. They also adopt the normative opposite gender’s mannerisms. The word’s etymology is very explicit. It includes the prefix <em>trans</em>, which means across, through, beyond, in Latin; then the root word <em>vestite</em>, which comes from Latin <em>vestitus</em>, which means clothed.

Viola is a transvestite in as much as she disguises herself as a man and speaks and acts like one, while she is actually a woman.

Dover Beach: Beauty Hides Pain
Poet, Matthew Arnold, presents a very real theme of love in his poem, Dover Beach. Where he creates a scene of beauty among the sea and shores, mixed with night and moonlight, he also is presenting us with the underlying misery, which is easily over looked and disregarded. Arnold writes, really, of love and loss, and relates it to beauty with hidden misery.
The first stanza of the poem paints a picture for the reader of beautiful nighttime off the shores of England and France, where the water and the moonlight reflect each others beauty. The sea is calm tonight / The tide is full, the moon lies fair / Upon the straits; (1-3). But, as the poem goes on, Arnold reveals the same secret misery to the reader that the scene eventually reveals to the speaker. He talks of the surface beauty of the world that disguises what has happened in the past. This is Arnolds way of expressing to us that love is love because of all its beauty, happiness, and perfection. But, only certain loves are true, so in other words, like the world holds much sadness in its history, love as well becomes saddened or lost, or holds great potentials to be saddened or lost. on the French coast the light / Gleams and is gone; (3-4).
The French coast has a sadder history because of the French defeat in the battles, which Arnold writes of. The coast of England has the same sad essence because of the losses of life, but the English were not defeated, so, in turn, the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay (4-5). Like the light on the French coast Gleams and is gone, so does love that ends. It shines and brightens peoples loves until it fades out. In the other situation, the shores of England maintain their brightness, glimmering forever over a calm bay. This is a love that never

The plot of a novel is the meatiest meat of the story. Without the plot, there can never be a good novel. The plot of a novel should contain "series of interrelated actions" and "conflict." These two are very important because it forms part of the whole story of the novel.
