Answer:

The way Oscar Wilde used Algernon’s attitude to poke fun at society’s traditional rules of behavior is:

In traditional society, Algernon would be expected to defend his aunt. Instead, he speaks freely about his feelings toward family.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are that in the first place the story takes place in a context that idealized and expected people to defend his family even if what people said about them was the truth. Now, the way Wilde turns this is a very progressive one that made him a brilliant misunderstood individual because he said relationships don't know when to die.

Identify the rhyme scheme Read this passage from Phillis Wheatley's poem “To the King's Most Excellent Majesty." Label
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: aa bb cc dd

Explanation:

<em>To identify the rhyme scheme, we look to see the lines where the last word of the lines rhymes. If we label the first line 'a', then all lines that end with the same rhyme as the first would also be 'a'. We then do this for all the lines.</em>

...The crown upon your brows may flourish long,  <u><em>a</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

And that your arm may in your God be strong! <u>a </u>   

O may your sceptre num'rous nations sway, <u><em>b</em></u>

And all with love and readiness obey! <u><em>b</em></u>

But how shall we the British king reward! <u><em>c</em></u>

Rule thou in peace, and our lord! <u><em>c</em></u>

Midst the remembrance of thy favours past, <u><em>d</em></u>

The meanest peasants most admire the last... <u><em>d</em></u>

Read the excerpt from The People Could Fly So [the alligators] all be quiet. Until the fire flare real high and close. . . . The
loris [4]

Answer:

The word "swink" probably means that a lot of effort has been made.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that the crocodiles worked hard to escape the fire, but all their efforts were in vain. The text presents contextual clues that this effort was violent and intensive even if it did not achieve results, that is, the crocodiles tried to get rid of the fire, but they did not succeed. This very significant effort is directly associated with the word "swink" presented in the text, which allows us to consider that this word means that something laborious and that requires great effort and concentration is being carried out.
