I got this from google just look up the youre question

They discuss when they'll meet again, and decide to hook up "When the hurly-burly's done, when the battle's lost and won." In other words, when the fighting that's going on has ended, which apparently will be today, before sunset. Brain snack: Even though the play's speech headings and stage directions refer to these three lovely ladies as "witches," the term "witch" only shows up once in the play.

The sisters are, however, called "weird" six times, but not "weird" like kooky and strange; they're "weird" like "wyrd," an Old English term meaning "fate." Spooky.

They let the audience in on their plan to meet some dude named Macbeth. Title alert! The witches then call out to Graymalkin and Paddock, the witches' "familiars," or spirits (usually animals like cats) that serve the witches.

All three witches then chance, "Fair is foul and foul is fair" before going back about their supernatural business.

How does the writer use context clues to help the reader understand the meaning of the word earnest

k0ka [10]

The correct answer to how the writer uses context clues to indicate the meaning of earnest is C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

In this passage, when the writer says "Unlike many of the candidates", he or she implies that the following adjectives that refer to them would be opposed to what Melissa delivered in her speech. The candidates "seemed insincere and uncaring", while "Melissa delivered her speech in earnest". Therefore, "insincere and uncaring" would be antonyms of "earnest", allowing the reader to infer the meaning of earnest. So, the correct answer would be C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest because of the word "unlike", which conveys that the following words are not similar to earnest. On the contrary, the writer uses antonyms to give clues about the meaning of earnest. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word because the writer doesn't create any pictures in this passage, he or she only uses descriptions to refer to the other candidates' speeches and Melissa's speech. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word.

The correct answer couldn't be D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...) because the writer doesn't rephrase the word earnest; there is no explanation about it or any kind of alternative expressions or explanations that could allow the reader to infer its meaning. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...).

Both passages describe a plant. The yucca tree "bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves" and a "fence of daggers" while the daffodi

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The first passage represents nature as something wild and dangerous, by describing the yucca tree with some risky, violent and dangerous words, which are used to warn us about this plant and its characteristics.

On the other hand, the second passage represents nature as something soft, calm, and beautiful, by describing daffodils. Daffodils are represented as something delicate and beautiful, so the vision of nature is quite different from the first passage. In this case, nature is described as something soft and wonderful, completely different from bayonet-pointed leaves and a fence of daggers.
