Algermon is used as a burlesque character to poke fun at High Victorian society,

Explanation:

Algermon is a burlesque who has lascivious impulses and is someone who is willing to subvert the morals of his time to his ends while he pretends to be, and pulls off the image of a successful Victorian gentleman.

He creates a persona to get the girl he wants to get and has no qualms or guilt for misleading her.

He is also willingly getting into trouble with other men often times just to have some fun.

His attitude throws shade against the morality of the Victorian age

Which sentence best describes the relation between a superpower and other nations? Base your answer on the meaning
miskamm [114]

According to the prefix "super-" we can confirm that a superpower is stronger and exerts more authority over nations, as shown in option B.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The prefix "super-" comes from Latin and means superiority.
  • When this prefix is used in the word "superpower" it means that there is something more potent, has more strength and power than others.
  • A superpower is a very powerful country and this shows that this nation is stronger and exerts a great influence over less powerful nations.

Thus, we can say that prefixes are very important to understand the meaning of a word.

Select the word that functions as a conjunction in the sentence.
Jlenok [28]

The word that functions as a conjunction in the sentence is:

  • <u>After</u>

According to the given question, we can see that there is a sentence which conveys the idea that there is a journey by a group of people to the beach and how it was interrupted by the rain.

With this in mind, we can see that the word which functions as a conjunction in the given sentence is "After" because it connects the time frame between when the rain stopped and when they spent time at the beach.
