And blessed are their days.

Answer B: the speaker feels joy at the winner's heaven-sent glory.

 This lyric ode begins by describing the features of the normal, natural man: mere creatures whose time is limited and whose existence is a dream of a shadow. <em>Then starts a big contrast</em>: <em>But</em>. Now the writer is <em>very happy</em> <em>to tell that there is a power </em><em>sent from above,</em><em> which makes man </em><em>blessed and shine with glory.</em>

Read this excerpt from Mayor Seth Low's speech at the Opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. Gentlemen of the Trustees—With profound sa
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The correct answer Low's style is formal; is he uses complex words that are appropriate for the ceremony, and his purpose is to inform his audience.

Explanation:

Seth Low was an American political figure. He was elected as Major of Brooklyn (1881-1885), and later served in the same position in New York City (1902-1903.) The Brooklyn Bridge was completed during his tenure as the major of that city, in 1883.

In the speech, Low's word selection is formal because of the ceremony and its magnitude; on the other hand, he wanted to inform his audience the purpose of the finished project. If he had used a more complex language or scientific facts, this goal might not have been reached. He did not choose informal words because of the context, so the last options are also incorrect.

jonny [76]

Answer:

My favorite subjects in school are math, ELA, Social Studies, and Science. My personal opinion about these classes are the person I sit next to in math smells funny and I wish I could move away from this person, the teacher in ELA is bitter so I like this class but not the teacher, My friend in science doesn't sit next to me so now I hate this class, and the teacher in Social Studies doesn't call on me so I mostly hate this class to because it's boring. My favorite class is ELA and my least favorite class is Math. So for better or for worse if I had to pick my favorite out of all of them would be ELA.
