The correct answer is A. Fearfulness
Explanation:
This excerpt belongs to the poem "Columbus" by Joaquin Miller. In this, the author refers to the experience of Columbus and his men as they sailed from Europe to the Americas. In this poem the excerpt "Should I and all my men fall dead. These very winds forget their way..." show the fear, despair, and lack of hope by Columbus and his men because they were afraid all of them would simply die "Should I and all my men fall dead" and not even god will know it or would help them.

Answer:
The true statement about Myrtle's death is:
b. Tom's first instinct is to protect himself. Later he cries.
Explanation:
The characters mentioned in the question belong to the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Tom is married to Daisy, and Myrtle is married to Wilson. Tom and Myrtle have an affair, of which Wilson is starting to suspect and Daisy already knows. Daisy is also having an affair with the protagonist of the story, Gatsby. While driving back from New York to their homes in a yellow car, Daisy and Gatsby run over and kill Myrtle. They do not pull over to give any assistance.
Tom is following in another car with Nick, the story's narrator and Daisy's cousin. When he finds out his lover has died, he is in shock for a moment. He is forced to recover quickly when a witness talks about the yellow car that ran over Myrtle. It turns out that the car is Tom's, and Wilson has seen Tom driving it previously. Afraid that Wilson might blame him for the accident, Tom's instinct is to protect himself. He tells Wilson the yellow car is not his, and quickly goes away with Nick, all the time being authoritative. However, as soon as they distance themselves from the scene, Tom begins to cry.
<em>"Listen," said Tom, shaking him a little. "I just got here a minute ago, from New York. I was bringing you that coupe we've been talking about. That yellow car I was driving this afternoon wasn't mine - do you hear? I haven't seen it all afternoon."</em>

<em>In a little while I heard a low husky sob, and saw that the tears were overflowing down his face.</em>
Benvolio then suggests that Romeo should try to get over Rosaline by going to the ball and looking upon “all the admired beauties of Verona” (I. ii. 85). Benvolio insists: “Compare her face with some that I shall show, / And I will make thee think thy swan a crow”

Answer: An apocalyptic story about the not-too-distant future.
Explanation:
- The Hunger Games talk about the world and what is happening in it about the not-too-distant future. The shop is located in the united states. The world is littered with wars, hunger, a lack of necessary living conditions. The country of Panem has risen in this world, with the Capitol as its center and 12 other counties. In retaliation for their long-standing uprising, the Capitol randomly selects two young representatives from each district each year to participate in the Hunger Games. Part of the fun for the masses, part of the intimidation tactics of subordinate areas, Hunger Games is televised throughout Panem. Twenty-four participants are forced to kill their opponents, and the rest of the nation is required to monitor the Games. Minor Prim was pulled out of the mining district for the famine games; however, her sister was grumbling for her and was calling her Katniss. Katniss will confront her partner by far the most potent participants from other districts. This is the content of the first book.
- In the second book In The Flame, sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen and son of baker Peeta Mellark, winners of the 74th Hunger Games, embark on a twelve-county winning tour. Still, it turns out very quickly that, defying the Capitol and its ruthless rules, Katniss is not Peeta herself and their families with a victory guaranteed life of safety and abundance. Rumors of a rebellion against the powerful are getting louder, and it looks like young fellow fighters have become her protective faces. The Capitol will, of course, anger it, so the Capitol wants to seek revenge as well. In "Shock Mockingbird," the final installment of the trilogy, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice, but although she has managed to get out of the bloody arena, she is not sure yet. Next to her is her friend Gale, but not Peeta, who is held hostage by President Snow, while a Panama fire spreads.
- This trilogy has gained considerable popularity. Books were sold in vast quantities. The story also came with its own Hollywood saga, and a three-part movie was made.
Mildred can't remember where she and Montag met because she doesn't pay attention to the details. She mostly cares about the family and all of her electronics.
