D. Sir Lancelot rides by on his horse. 

Lady Shalott was a lady living all alone in a tower near Camelot. She's cursed and she didn't know what the curse was. She must only weave images on her loom reflected from her mirror the busy life of the people in Camelot. But she didn't look directly down there. 
Until one day, she saw Sir Lancelot riding by on his horse down to Camelot. She was fascinated by the knight's face, so she stopped weaving and looked directly down at Camelot to where he was heading. Because of this incident, the mirror cracked from one side to the other, bringing about the curse. 

The main cause is the appearance of Sir Lancelot to the lady's eyes because that causes her to stop weaving and to look directly down Camelot which therefore causes the mirror to crack. The cracking of the mirror is only a sign that the curse has taken effect not the cause.

I believe the answer is:  a. The mirror cracks from one side to the other.

Although Lancelot rode by on his horse which caused her to look it was the fact that she looked directly at Camelot that caused the curse to take effect. The mirror cracking is what symbolizes the curse has taken effect and it happened right after she looked down at Camelot, which if i remember correctly was the one thing she wasn't allowed to do.

Virty [35]

The trick that Crusoe played on the wicked man was of the religious patterns. He started to play it on the wicked man when he realized that he understood things more clearly when taught through religious way.

After rescuing one of the Natives of the Island, Crusoe starts to converse with him so that he can know about him and his native people. He named him Friday and started making strategies through which he can teach him the way of living. He taught him to speak some words of English, the way to clothe oneself, the eating habits and to call him his ‘master.’ Crusoe noticed that it was easy for him to educate Friday through religious patterns. He tells him about God and his creations with whom Friday easily related his own deity Benamuckee.

Write about the biggest mistake you
White raven [17]

I used to believe everything a man said because he tricked me into believing it. He would sweet talk and everything and I believed everything. Then he cheated on my with me best friend. He didn't think I would know and I thought my best friend would be much better than that. But now I have a harder time trusting people especially guys who try to get with me. It made me a stronger person because I am less naïve.
