Answer:
The correct answer is C. The grandmother was against the teaching of music because she considered music a monopoly of harlot's and beggars.
Explanation:
The question refers to the novel "The portrait of a lady", in which the narrator of the story moves with her grandmother to a rural area far from the city, and begins to go to school.
At school, the narrator begins to take music classes, which distresses and annoys her grandmother, who considers that music is not an art but a simple expression of social baseness, carried out by beggars and criminals, without any religious, moral or aesthetic content.
Answer:
A. Clutched her stomach.
Explanation:
Parallel structure refers to the use of a similar word patterns in a sentence. In other words, this means that the tense or word form used is the same in a sentence.
In the given sentence, the verb used is in the simple past tense. So, the verb structure all throughout the sentence will remain in that form, meaning the verbs used will all be in the same form.
So, the sentence with parallel structure will become-
<em>When Delores realized that her father had made lima beans and rice for dinner, she claimed to feel nauseous, clutched her stomach, and excused herself from the table. The bag of stale popcorn in her room would tide her over until breakfast.</em>
The parallelism is seen in the words "realized, claimed, clutched, excused".
Therefore, <u>the option that will maintain parallel structure in the sentence will be option A.</u>
First question is going to be C.
The option that best describes how the poet helps the reader understand the theme is:
3. The poet uses an extended metaphor of a tree that grows and bears fruit to convey the theme.
- This question refers to the poem "The Poison Tree" by William Blake.
- The poem's theme concerns the dangers of not expressing one's feelings. More specifically, the dangers of not expressing anger.
- The poet uses an extended metaphor to convey the idea above.
- In the poem, the anger that is not expressed is compared to a tree. <u>The more the speaker keeps his feelings to himself, the more that tree grows.</u>
- Eventually, that tree bears fruit. In other words, the bottled up anger eventually leads to a bad consequence.
- In the poem, the fruit is a poisonous apple that ends up killing the speaker's enemy.
- With the information above in mind, we can choose number 3 as the best choice. The poet uses extended metaphor to convey the theme.
