10. Please refer to Story A2 and answer the following question. Which of the following provides the best definition of the term

avant-garde as the author intends it in the passage?
a. Unintelligible
b. Innovative
c. Foreign
d. High-brow

Story A2
The English language premiere of Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot took place in London
in August 1955. Godot is an avant-garde play with only five characters (not including Mr. Godot,
who never arrives) and a minimal setting: one rock and one bare tree. The play has two acts;
the second act repeats what little action occurs in the first with few changes: The tree, for
instance, acquires one leaf. In a statement that was to become famous, the critic, Vivian
Mercer, has described Godot as "a play in which nothing happens twice." Opening night, critics
and playgoers greeted the play with bafflement and derision. The line, "Nothing happens,
nobody comes, nobody goes. It's awful," was met by a loud rejoinder of "Hear! Hear!" from an
audience member. _____________________________________. However, Harold Hobson's
review in The Sunday Times managed to recognize the play for what history has proven it to be,
a revolutionary moment in theater.

The option that provides the best definition of the term avant-garde as the author intends it in the passage is (b.) innovative.

<em>Avant-garde </em>is a term taken from French that is used to refer to new ideas that are introduced in fields such as music or literature.<u> It is a concept that is mainly connected to artists that are ahead of their time and also to innovative works of art</u>, especially those that were produced during the 20th century. In this case, <u>a</u><u><em>vant-garde</em></u><u> has been used to describe </u><u><em>Waiting for Godot</em></u><u> since the play appeared to be radically original when it was premiered due to its characters, settings and themes</u>.

Why do you think the Terrible Things take away the animals one group at a time?
Alex73 [517]
<span>his book basically represents what happened during the holocaust ... just in a different form. The terrible things (a.k.a. the Nazis) take away the animals (a.k.a. the different groups of people persecuted during the holocaust) one at a time because it was easy. The Nazis in real life did the same thing. By taking groups one at a time no large uproar was caused. If they had taken more animals, there might have been a larger negative reaction and possibly a revolt. The animals were able to justify the other animals being taken away, and by justifying the terrible thing's reasoning and actions they made it easier for the terrible things to continue. As for the last question ... often people do not listen to one lone voice in a crowd, especially one that in young and supposedly "inexperienced." Unfortunately for us, children are often able see things in a different and more "black and white" light, and by not listening to what they have to say we all lose out. H</span>

Which sentence from Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" suggests that Dr. Heidegger's character repre
Daniel [21]
In my opinion, out of the sentences offered here the one which best shows how Dr Heidegger's character represents wisdom is D - 'If the fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips I it; no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments.' Here Dr Heidegger is discussing the fountain of youth and how, although he can admit he is tempted by it, he would be able to resist due to his wisdom and powers of reasoning.
