Answer:

Lines 19-21 suggest that the speaker is confused about the next step to take in life and needs guidance of her mother.

Explanation:

"Hanging Fire" is a poem about a 14-year-old teenage girl who expresses a myriad of emotions - excitement, enthusiasm, doubts, fears, anxieties - on various topical issues in her life.

In lines 19-21, she says that "she has plenty to do yet nothing to do" expressing her desire to launch out, explore and do things in life yet is held back by our fear or worry of the unknown. She is confused on the next steps to take as her teenage years unfold.

Meanwhile her mother who is supposed to be her guide through this phase of life is strangely absent, locked up behind closed doors in the bedroom, oblivious of the life challenges her daughter is going through

Answer: 60

= length × width × height

= 12 × 12 × 5

Is there anything Standard about Standard Time?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: Standard time is the synchronization of clocks within a geographical region to a single time standard, rather than a local mean time standard. Generally, standard time agrees with the local mean time at some meridian that passes through the region, often near the center of the region. Historically, standard time was established during the 19th century to aid weather forecasting and train travel. Applied globally in the 20th century, the geographical regions became time zones. The standard time in each time zone has come to be defined as an offset from Universal Time. A further offset is applied for part of the year in regions with daylight saving time.

The adoption of standard time, because of the inseparable correspondence between time and longitude, solidified the concept of halving the globe into an eastern and western hemisphere, with one prime meridian replacing the various prime meridians that had previously been used.

Which interpretation is a possible theme of Ovid’s “The story of Daedalus and Icarus”
babunello [35]

The correct answer is C.

A possible theme of Ovid's "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus" is how human creativity can lead to amazing discoveries, gagdets and inventions; but at the same time these can easily lead to pain and suffering if used in the wrong way.

In the story, Daeadalus was a great inventor, but it was his own device that caused his son's death. Icarus' recklessness lead him to ignore his father's warnings about flying too high or too low, and his wrong usage of the man-made wings lead him to his doom.
