I have placed my happiness on seeing you good and accomplished; and no distress which this world can now bring on me would equal

that of your disappointing my hopes. What is the connotative effect of the word distress on Jefferson's tone in this letter? A) The word "distress" does not show any particular concern or worry on Jefferson's part for his daughter's education. B) It shows how deeply and seriously Jefferson wants his daughter to take her education--because his love for her depends upon it. C) Jefferson is using the word primarily to create a joking or teasing tone with his daughter that is evident throughout the entire passage. D) It shows that Jefferson is more concerned with his daughter being happy or carefree than he is worried about her education and studying all the time.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The following statement is the correct answer: It shows how deeply and seriously Jefferson wants his daughter to take her education--because his love for her depends upon it. The entire letter is extremely formal and serious (at least to modern ears). Jefferson repeatedly states that education is vital to his love and affection for his daughter. To call her failures the greatest distress he can experience in this world (even after her mother had died) is, to put it lightly, extreme, or at least, very powerful hyperbole.

Answer:

B) It shows how deeply and seriously Jefferson wants his daughter to take her education--because his love for her depends upon it

Explanation:

The connotative tone of the word distress would be one of great disappointment and upset in this excerpt. Jefferson is saying here that he wants his daughter to become an accomplished, well educated, financially secure and successful person and if she for any reason grows up and does not become these things he would feel let down by her to such large degree that even his love for her would become less. He is placing his own selfish happiness on her accomplishments in life.

Biden satirized human rights in the Middle East before, and now he is going to win over the Middle East. Will the Middle East li
natulia [17]

The Middle East is unlikely to listen to America, due to the constant mockery and almost no help towards its internal problems.

<h3>Why is there Tension between the Middle East and America?</h3>

For several decades now, the constant satire carried out by American governments towards customs and their way of seeing human rights in the Middle East has been noted.

While it is true that people in the West would be unlikely to welcome the massacres, restriction of women's rights and totalitarianism seen in the Middle East, their governments take it as traditional and do not like satire towards it.

For this reason, it is unlikely that the governments of the Middle East will listen to the American government, at least this year, perhaps with dialogues and new positions, it may be that ties are strengthened and they can understand each other better.

Compare the words knit and gname.how are they alike ?how are they different
bearhunter [10]
They are alike because they both have the "n" sound as the beginning. KNit and GName but have the "nnn" sound.

The difference is the same sound is spelled differently. They both make the same nnn sound, but the first two letters are different.

' भूख मीठी कि भोजन मीठा ' से क्या अभिप्राय है?​
REY [17]

इस बात का आशय है जब मनुष्य भूखा होता है तो उस भूख के कारण उसे बासी रोटी भी मीठी लगती है। यदि मनुष्य को भूख न हो तो उसे कुछ भी स्वादिष्ट भोजन या खाने की वस्तु दे दी जाए तो वह उसमें नुक्स निकाल ही देता है। ... इसलिए बुजुर्गों ने कहा है – भूख मीठी की भोजन मीठा।
