Answer:

It seemed to have been constructed for no special use within itself…

Explanation:

There are two types of voices when it comes to the English grammar and these are the <em>"passive voice</em>" and the<em> "active voice."</em>

"Passive voice" means that<u> the recipient of the verb's action is the</u><u> "subject."</u> This is opposite to that of the active voice wherein <u>the subject is the one which acts upon its verb.</u>

The subject above is "It" and it is the recipient of the verb "have been constructed."

So, this explains the answer.

Read the following text reproduced from neil postman's amusing ourselves to death.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

B). Postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. Instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.

Explanation:

The second option from the given options is not plagiarised as it paraphrases the ideas presented in the paragraph and acknowledges the author i.e. 'Neil Postman' when it says 'Postman argues.' It restates the meaning of the passage using different words that help in preventing plagiarism. The other options represent Postman's language as well as ideas without paraphrasing and acknowledgment or citation of the source that eventually plagiarizes them. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

"Editha" by William Dean Howells is a story about characters who ritualistically follow the popular beliefs and norms of society
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

It was very low inside the house, and so dim, with the closed blinds, that they could scarcely see one another;

Her father standing decorously apart with his hat on his forearm, as at funerals; a woman rested in a deep arm-chair, and the woman who had let the strangers in stood behind the chair.

<em>Editha</em>, by William Dean Howells, is an antiwar story published in 1905. Its characters are people who greatly value custom and ritual, even when it is objectively inconvenient or awkward for them to do so.

The two chosen lines exemplify that character trait. In the first sentence, the house has the blinds closed, as was common for houses where the family had recently experienced a loss or a tragedy. This rule is followed, even though it meant that the characters were barely able to see each other.

The second sentence has a similar example, as Edith's father stands at a distance and with his hat in his hands. We are told this is the way it is done at funerals, which is consistent with the previous sentence and with the character's personality traits.

Which sentence best describes teh character of dante as he is portrayed in the ifnerno?
monitta

Dante's character seems to be basically good, but his worldly innocence makes him surprised by the sights of Hell.

Since his first meeting with Virgil, Dante has continued to be astounded by the paranormal events that shape the story's rules. Every spirit Dante encountered as he travelled through the circles of Hell continued to astound and terrify him. The character of Dante is meant to represent every atheist who wants to challenge their own religion with reason but is disproved at the first sign of anything illogical.
