Answer:

Symbolism

Explanation:

In literature, the use of a person, place, or object to represent or signify an abstract idea by making their meanings different from their original literal meaning is symbolism. In symbolism, a person, place, or thing doesn't necessarily have to be attached to a single meaning. Symbols are used in our everyday life, for example, some sports teams name themselves after animals just to make their name fearsome.

A dove is a common symbol used as a concept for peace, it is also used to end conflict. Ordinarily a dove is supposed to be white bird, but the use of symbolism has given a dove another literal meaning, which makes us see a dove as a sign of peace and tranquility.

stepladder [879]

The correct answer is: It can be proven using objective evidence.

To be<em> factual</em> is to use or consist of facts, meaning the information provided can be proven and its characteristics are not altered by external interpretations (opinions from others).

Just as facts, <em>objective evidence</em> can be proven by observation and analysis. Regarding the excerpt, it can be proven that Hossack was struck at the head by analyzing his corpse, and that the crime took place "a few miles out from Bedford" by visiting the crime scene.

mart [117]

Answer:

If I had to live through this, then I know that I'd hate it, but it would teach me so many things such as hard-work, respect, and even self-discipline. This would teach me to be more respectful to my parents and to understand what they did for me. I wouldn't really like it, but I'd understand my obligations. I'd have grown up to be a respectful, honest, and hard-working person. This sounds terrible to go through, but to build character, it's pretty good.

Read this excerpt from act III, scene I, of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet:
user100 [1]
<span>The correct answer is A. Romeo blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of Mercutio's death.

After Mercutio dies, Romeo says, "O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper soften'd valour's steel." Here, he is saying that, because he fell in love with Juliet, he became weak. His love softened "valour's steel" -- or the brave metal of a sword -- making him unable to fight his enemy Tybalt.

The implication is that, had he not fallen in love with Juliet, he would have been strong enough to fight Tybalt and his friend would not have died. Therefore he blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of his friend's death.</span>
