Which statement best expresses the central idea of the text ( the puzzle of altruism)

English
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]2 years ago
5 0

The puzzle of altruism is best stated in the opening line that wonders if altruism does opposite of what it means to.

Explanation:

Altruism is a murky territory. It is one of the core values of humanity in the modern sense in that the people acknowledge that there is a need to give back to less fortunate ones if one is in fact, fortunate.

But then again, there is a thing that the altruism may only lead to more altruism and not actual independence from the need of altruism as it does not build, it merely provides.

Thus, until there is a way to use such altruism effectively this will be an issue pervading them.

c. Abigail claims that Mary’s form is coming to her in the shape of an evil bird. 8

e. The girls repeat Mary’s words in an annoying chant. 9

g. Reverend Hale quits the court. 10

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's <em>The Crucible</em> is a play that revolves around the Salem witch trials of 1962 where young girls were accused of partaking with the devil. The play delved deep into the community of Salem where people were wrongfully accused of the black arts and sentenced to death.

Act 3 is in the courtroom where the case was heard before Judge Danforth. Francis and Giles burst into the courtroom with 'evidence' but ended up making things worse.

John Proctor had come with Mary when he learned that his wife Elizabeth who's being held imprisoned is pregnant.

Mary then decides to tell the truth but when Abigail and the other girls came to the room, they all accused Mary of acting on them.

Abigail claims that a cold wind is engulfing her, indirectly accusing Mary of the act.

Then John Proctor told the court about his adultery with Abigail, which his wife denies.

When Elizabeth is summoned and asked about the lechery, she denies, which John then told her he's confessed.

Then Abigail and the girls began to act like they see a black evil bird coming towards them, and repeat whatever Mary says.

All of it was too much for Rev. hale who decided to quit the courtroom.

How does Shakespeare use the street fight to explain the conflict between the two families?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Romeo and Juliet, by Shakespeare, is a play which shows how prejudice leads to escalating violence. Prejudice leads to violence shown in the play when the feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets, fight. In each case, disruption, fighting, injuries and death occur. Also, the prejudice between the two families never was resolved, because they were enemies.

The feuding started in Act 1 Scene 1, when the Capulets and Montague servants confronted each other. The Capulets’ servants insult the Montagues and this leads to a street brawl of the two families. Furthermore, in Act 3 Scene 1, the hatred between the families gets worse. When Tybalt wanted revenge against the Montagues, he then confronted Romeo and Mercutio and started a duel. In addition, the feud between the families got even worse, when Tybalt killed Mercutio. Also, in Act 5 Scene 3, Tybalt challenges Romeo to fight and Romeo kills him.
