1. I believe the correct answer is:
social status.
In these lines from the play “The
Importance of Being Earnest”, written by Oscar Wild, Gwendolen Fairfax says
that people who live in the country lack social status.
Gwendelon is a big-city (London in this
case), sophisticated woman who views the world with the shortsightedness of the
aristocratic society of Victorian era, which Oscar Wilde tend to critic.
Limited by her installed aristocratic norms, Gwendelon says that she can’t
grasp the idea that someone of importance can live in the country (“how anybody
manages to exist in the country, if anybody who is anybody does.”) as the
country lacks the social status, which is reserved for the big cities.
2. I believe the correct answer is:
morally debased.
In these lines from the play “The
Importance of Being Earnest”, written by Oscar Wild, Cecily indicates that
people in the city are morally debased.
Cecily Cardew is the foil character,
contrast, of the Gwendelon Fairfox, which we can see in her protectiveness of
the country life, both its setting and people. She replays to Gwendelons
comments of the lack of social status in country life by calling people in the
city “agricultural depressed”, meaning that their decrease in moral value
spread like and illness, almost like an epidemic even.
<span> The Haida are a native tribe in Alaska. The raven is apparently important in their culture. I know their totem poles often (always?) feature ravens. That's about all I know about it.
Katy, try to explain in a condensed way what happens in the story and why it's important. Or what the point of the story is. Don't just retell the whole story in your own words. Extract the main ideas out. Does that make sense?

A. oxymoron
because sound and silence are opposites in meaning but are used together in this phrase.
As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
Ethos is when a speaker appeals to the audience's ethics. In this case President Roosevelt is showing his authority to reassure the audience that he is an expert and to be trusted in his decision to go to war with Japan. He does this by reminding the American people that his is the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy. He also uses other types of appeal in his speech such as pathos when he appeals to the American people's emotions.
