Water travels through the passages in a manner that is similar to water flowing through pipes in a plumbing system.

Explanation:

I believe this answer choice would best explain the use of the comparison because in the same sentence, the author is writing about the "system of underground passages," (which are filled with water) and this answer choice is the only one that actually discusses how the water travels through the system.

PLEASE HELP!!!
Burka [1]

Answer:

Friar Lawrence warns Romeo, "Wisely and slow, they that run fast stumble." He gives this warning after agreeing to marry Romeo and Juliet. He is essentially warning against the hastiness of their union. They have only just met, and he is cautioning them against moving too quickly.

Ultimately, his warning foreshadows their doom. Romeo's tendency to act without thinking first directly leads to the death of both characters. The Friar states:

"These violent delights have violent ends. Which in their triumph die, like fire and gunpowder, which as they kiss, consume." (2.6.9-11).

The violent delights, or the love, of Romeo and Juliet, often have violent ends, in this case death. While their love may be beautiful and powerful, it is also brief and destructive. Thus, with his words, the Friar unknowingly foreshadows the passionate but brief love of Romeo and Juliet, which ends in death

PLEASE HELP In what way does Rita Dove's poem expand on the myth of Demeter,
KengaRu [80]

<u>Answer: </u>

The answer is option ‘c’. The author portrays Demeter’s reaction as thoughtful and restrained.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Rita Dove, an accomplished poet, uses the Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone. In the myth, Persephone is abducted by the Hades, the King of the underworld. Demeter displays a dereliction in duties, overcome by sorrow and anger. So, the crops fail. Zeus pleads with hades to return Persephone. He agrees but on the condition that she would return to the underworld for a part annually. This resulted in fall and winter every year – the time Persephone spent in the underworld.  

Summer and spring was the time when she would return to the earth to be with her mother. This myth explained the cycle of seasons. She expands the myth placing it in the in the modern world in individual manifestations portraying the anxiousness of the mother full of the same anxieties .She is thoughtful but now understands that she has lost her daughter to a stranger with whom the daughter has fallen in love.
