Read the excerpt from Sense and Sensibility and answer the question. Conversation however was not wanted, for Sir John was very

chatty, and Lady Middleton had taken the wise precaution of bringing with her their eldest child, a fine little boy about six years old, by which means there was one subject always to be recurred to by the ladies in case of extremity, for they had to enquire his name and age, admire his beauty, and ask him questions which his mother answered for him, while he hung about her and held down his head, to the great surprise of her ladyship, who wondered at his being so shy before company, as he could make noise enough at home. On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party, by way of provision for discourse. In the present case it took up ten minutes to determine whether the boy were most like his father or mother, and in what particular he resembled either, for of course every body differed, and every body was astonished at the opinion of the others. . . . These lines, so typical of Austen's wry tone, allow Austen to _____ and _____. Select all that apply. encourage readers to prepare carefully for social occasions criticize social conversation as pointless and insincere reveal Lady Middleton's character as superficial and proud note the importance of Sir John's having a male heir who can inherit property

These lines, so typical of Austen’s wry tone, allow Austen to “criticize social conversation as pointless and insincere” and “reveal Lady Middleton's character as superficial and proud”. This passage shows how social conversations are not necessary as they don't provide relevant information and people just uses them to talk about insignificant details and to avoid uncomfortable silence. The author also describes the personality of Lady Middleton as being superficial and how she uses her son to start an irrelevant talk.

How does a having a large number of people in a group affect the group's dynamics??
fiasKO [112]
There are different kinds of persons and one type is composed of those who work well alone while other would prefer to work in the group. If the group is large enough so that it is just conducive for learning then, it will be helpful to the dynamics. However, if it is very big that it is no longer healthy then, it would be better to divide further the group.

What information in the speech clearly supports Patrick Henry's belief that war with Great Britain is inevitable?
Olegator [25]
Patrick Henry states that Great Britain has no other enemy but the colonists - he says that its entire army is aimed towards the colonists and keeping them safe and part of its kingdom. He says that the colonists have tried for a long time to talk to the British government and make their lives easier, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. This is why he says the following:
<span><em>If we wish to be free if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
</em></span><em />He ends his speech by stating his famous sentence - Give me liberty or give me death!

The swineherd led him to the manor later
in rags like a foul beggar, old and broken,
propped on a stick. These tatters that he wore

when he turned up, not even the older men.
We jeered at him, took potshots at him, cursed him.
Daylight and evening in his own great hall
<span>he bore it, patient as a stone.

It might be said that the similies represent an image of </span><span>battered but unruffled.
