Answer:

A. Thoreau uses rhetorical questions to evoke the reader's response.

Explanation:

"Resistance to Civil Disobedience" is an essay also known as 'Civil Disobedience.' The essay is a written form of lecture given by Henry David Thoreau in January, 1848, before the Concord Lyceum audience.

<u>The essay was written after Thoreau spent one night in jail on the charge for refusing to pay the poll tax. In July, 1846.</u>

<u>In the given passage, Thoreau has used the rhetorical question to evoke the reader's response. To force them to think about their beliefs on government. By using the rhetorical question device,  Thoreau is urging his reader to brain storm their thinking and to respond to his questions about their belief on government</u>.

Thus the correct answer is option A.

Answer:

Anne, because she is always trying to pet his cat and writing in her journal.

He sees Anne as a person he can talk to and express himself with, so he thinks she is trustworthy and willing to be the same kind of trusted company for her.

Dover beach
tester [92]

Answer:

Ebbs and flows in this context mean that human misery comes and goes.

Explanation:

The poem, Dover Beach, written by Matthew Arnold, uses the term 'ebbs and flows' to describe how human misery comes and goes. Ebbs and flows, in the context of sea movement, refers to the coming (flows) and going (ebbs) of the sea tides.

We can say that though hardships and miseries are experienced by all humans, eventually, it would all go away, drifting into the sea as we continue to live on and experience more happiness and betterment flowing in.

The stanza referred is this excerpt:

Sophocles long ago

Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought

Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow

Of human misery; we

Find also in the sound a thought,

Hearing it by this distant northern sea.
