What types of images does the speaker return to throughout "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock?"

Thomas Eliot works multiple themes in the poem, however in general, his usage of imagery mainly represents ageing and decay. In the lines "When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table", the phrases like "sawdust restaurants" and "cheap hotels," the yellow fog, and the afternoon "Asleep...tired... or it malingers", represent decay. The character's concerns about his hair and teeth which is mentioned in the lines "Combing the white hair of the waves blown back / When the wind blows the water white and black," show the problems about aging.

The speaker often refers to images having to do with the city. He refers to many locations and features of architecture that are present in cities, such as "one-night cheap hotels," "chimneys," "doorways and sprinkled streets," et cetera. He also personifies many things, including fog, the evening, and time. Hope this helps.

Answer:

1) We get to see more of the emotional deterioration of Starbuck in season 2 ep 15. And she’s not having a good time. She’s drinking, she’s staying up late, and she’s not endearing herself to one of the pilots under her command, Kat. This at first leads to verbal jousting over who is the pilot with the most kills, but gradually intensifies as the episode goes on. Starbuck, isn’t on top form. She’s still having recollections of her time back on Caprica, and her promise to go back and save Anders, but she’s denied permission to go back and rescue him. Furthermore, we discover she missed a mission in which a pilot was killed, and then she makes a booze-filled lurch for Apollo. The mental state he’s in, they’re clearly a match made in heaven.

2) Raiders reincarnate so that their past lives are learning experiences. They no longer have to go through a training process and have to learn everything again. They get to go into a different vessel with the same amount of intelligence. This way they never die unless their resurrection ship is destroyed which would be a disadvantage to them.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

D. In particular.

Explanation:

The use of the phrase "in particular" points to the specificity of the thing or person talked about. It is used to make particular reference to a thing or person.

In the given sentence, the blank will be filled by "in particular" because it shows the specific type of flowers that hummingbirds are attracted to. By pointing out that "tubular or trumpet shapes" are particularly liked by them, it specifies the type of flowers they like.

So, the sentence will be-

"Hummingbirds are attracted to all flowers, in particular, those with tubular or trumpet shapes."

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
