What words or phrases in this excerpt from "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant best help to reveal the meaning of the word bl

ight as it is used in the poem?
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile

And eloquence of beauty, and she glides

Into his darker musings, with a mild

And healing sympathy, that steals away

Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts

Of the last bitter hour come like a blight

Over thy spirit, and sad images

Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall.

And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,

Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart--

Go forth, under the open sky, and list

To Nature's teachings,

Blight means ruin and disaster. Words and phrases that indicate and support this meaning are: "the last bitter hour" (denoting death), "stern agony, and shroud, and pall" (also denoting death, but this time in an even more literal way), "breathless darkness", "make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart" (these phrases definitely imply a disaster that takes our breath away).

Which statement describes Victorian gender expectations for women best? The Victorian woman was the head of the household. The V
OleMash [197]

The correct answer is: The Victorian woman existed mostly in the “private sphere.”

In the Victorian era (19th Century), women were considered inferior and subordinate to men, the latter of which were seen as breadwinners who supported their families. In the Victorian era, women "belonged" in the household, and their roles involved childcare, cooking, cleaning, and emotionally supporting their husband and children. Thus, it can be said that the Victorian woman existed mostly in the “private sphere.”

How is the main conflict resolved?
Vanyuwa [196]

Glad to be able to help!! :)

In short, there are three main conflicts: man vs man, man vs self, man vs nature. Conflict with a character in literature is usually resolved either with compromise (negotiating) or conflict (violence). ... Through this resolution, the reader sees how conflicts can compound, and then perpetuate themselves.

If satisfied please give Brainiest :)
