Answer:

nyksl Ambitious

The right answe is "A. He had a speech impediment, so he was worried he would be perceived as weak and unable to win a war."

Often the image that reaches us of great leaders does not show all the nature and personal characteristics behind the figure of leader. George VI possessed a characteristic that was remarkable during all his personal life and that was the main guide line of the film "The Discourse of the King". It is the stammering that persecuted the monarch from the tender age of 4 and that was reason of many difficulties for the King.

Upon his brother's abdication and the decision to take the throne, George VI was forced to face this problem and deal with it throughout his reign. With much training, persistence and courage, the monarch faced this difficulty, worked on his speeches, kept the morale of the population on the rise and became a symbol of British resilience.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

I would tell my beginning-of-year self,  would tell her to not worry too much about small, insignificant things and that mistakes are not bad.

Explanation:

Whenever the year begins, there is always a sense of new beginnings and new goals. But despite all such plans and decisions, there never seems to be a time for everything to be done or even be successful in implementing half of the new-year plans.

I will tell myself mistakes are good and not bad, and they are a part of life. But with that said, I would advise myself to get every opportunity to change and try to be better.

In <em>Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal,”</em> the author satirically bemoans the lack of human feelings by the British lords over the Irish poor.

 

<h3>What is Satire? </h3>

Satire is the generous use of humor, exaggeration, or irony to criticize a government official or their policies. It is a literary device employed by many authors and poets to draw attention to the social conditions of the less-privileged members of society or the excesses of their governments.

 

<h3>Swift's "A Modest Proposal" </h3>

In many instances, Swift satirically makes an economic proposal to the powers that be in Ireland. He suggests that the Lords should use the bodies of the Irish poor as meat delicacies. The satirical solution, according to Jonathan Swift, would lessen the population of the Irish poor, ensuring financial abundance and affordable food for the rich.

 

Thus, the author of <em>"A Modest Proposal" </em>satirizes the unfortunate circumstances in which the Irish poor lived while their British lords lorded it over them.
