Which line(s) from the poem, "An Ancient Gesture," most create(s) a tone of remorse and regret? 1 I thought, as I wiped my eyes

on the corner of my apron: 2 Penelope did this too. 3 And more than once: you can't keep weaving all day 4 And undoing it all through the night; 5 Your arms get tired, and the back of your neck gets tight; 6 And along towards morning, when you think it will never be light, 7 And your husband has been gone, and you don't know where, for years. 8 Suddenly you burst into tears; 9 There is simply nothing else to do. 10 And I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron: 11 This is an ancient gesture, authentic, antique, 12 In the very best tradition, classic, Greek; 13 Ulysses did this too. 14 But only as a gesture,—a gesture which implied 15 To the assembled throng that he was much too moved to speak. 16 He learned it from Penelope... 17 Penelope, who really cried.

Answer:

7 And your husband has been gone, and you don't know where, for years.

8 Suddenly you burst into tears;

9 There is simply nothing else to do.

Explanation:

These lines show that someone who paid close attention to something superfluous and without much importance every day and relentlessly, ended up losing his beloved. Her husband left and she did not even notice, because her attention was on something else. Now this person cries of remorse and regret, because there is nothing she can do to reverse this situation.

TANGLED-UP WORDS
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1) Imaginary

2) Campfires

3) Tale

4) Orchard

5) Scoops

6) Legends

7) Adventures

8) Wilderness

9) Beginnings

10) Ability

Explanation:

1) Ordinary and imaginary sound the same. Also, 'imaginary' character makes more sense.

2) These stories are told around 'campfires' is more appropriate and sounds a little like cameras.

3) Tail is a body part of animals so this is completely wrong. The author means a story here so tale is the word that fits well.

4) Orchard of apples is correct because a garden full of trees is called an orchard.

5) Holes are scooped out and not scared out.

6) Legend is the right word that fits here. Also, ledges and legend sound almost similar.

7) Alligators should be replaced with adventures because the author is basically talking about adventures.

8) Adventures are usually done in wilderness and not windowsills.

9) The author is trying to talk about the history of the countries so beginnings is the right word.

10) The talent of telling story is better described by the word ability instead of enemy.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

C). Women's feelings about love were not traditionally considered.

D). Women in traditional society wanted to change their role​.

Basically, the women were the victims of gender discrimination in the traditional society and thus, they had an innate desire to change their role in society and get equal rights. Thus, <u>options B, C, and D</u> are the correct answers.
