Answer:

The author convinces readers that the match was "the most wonderful thing in the world" by stating some of the things matches were able to replace. " In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark." this means they had to wait for something to happen in nature like a lightning storm to be able to harness fire. "The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there." This means that they had to go on dangerous hunts for natural fires just so they could take another journey and also have a chance of the fire dying to even get it to their house. When matches were invented,you didn't have to risk yourself to get fire. Therefore, it was "the most wonderful thing in the world".

Why is madame<br> at the begining<br> Loisel discontented<br> of the story?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Madame loisel so badly wanted to be chased after and wanted. She

also wasn't happy in the non-wealthy family that she was born into

and that she married a non-wealthy man.

Explanation: At the beginning of the story "The Necklace," readers meet Mathilde Loisel: a "pretty and charming" girl who was not born with the wealth and distinction that – we're told – her personality and tastes require. She is married off to "a little clerk" husband and lives in a small house. All day long, she glares at her surroundings and day-dreams about the things she wishes she could have:

"vast saloons hung with antique silks, exquisite pieces of furniture supporting priceless ornaments, and small, charming, perfumed rooms, created just for little parties of intimate friends, men who were famous and sought after, whose homage roused every other woman's envious longings."

Clearly, the answer seems to be that Mathilde is discontent because she is poor and wants to be rich. That is absolutely true, but there is more to it than that. The wealth itself is not what is really alluring to Madam Loisel (though it certainly doesn't hurt). Instead, she is obsessed with the life she assumes goes along with such riches and distinctions. If you look back at the end of the above quote, you can see that, in Madam Loisel's mind, the beautiful items merely provide a setting for the thrilling parties full of jealousies and intrigue that she just knows all wealthy people have. She is discontent because she is a middle class woman of the 19th century. She doesn't have to do hard labor to survive, but she also doesn't have a full social calendar and disposable income. She is stuck at home, with nothing to do, no children to care for, no friends to see – it's no wonder she fantasizes about the wealthy life.

hope it helps u :)

Which concluding sentence would NOT match the tone of the rest of the passage?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

A) I mean, come on, these parents need to wise up and not be so stupid about the measles! Is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The tone in the first option would be the proper one if the conversation were taking place among friends because it uses informal expressions and words that shouldn't be used when discussing a topic such as disease. So, if the passage is formal, the others fit so A is correct.
