Answer:

Maduff and Macbeth

Similarities

1. They are both vengeful.

Macbeth plots revenge for Macduff because he refuses to be loyal to him, and in the process, he murders his family.

Macduff after he learns of the brutal murder of his family, begins to plot his revenge against Macbeth.

2. They both have tunnel vision.

Macbeth is so singularly focused on becoming King that nothing else matters, he is blinded by the truth and believes the witches' prophecy implicitly.

Macduff is so blinded by his rage and quest for revenge against Macbeth that he is blinded to so many dangers.

3. They are both Lords of Scotland

Macduff and Macbeth are both Lords of Scotland. Macbeth is the honorable Thane of Glamis, Macduff is also a Thane of Fife.

Differences

1. Macduff is a loyal and honorable man, Macbeth is not.

Macduff is said to be a noble man that is loyal to Duncan and refuses to believe Macbeth's claim that Duncan was murdered by his servants.

Macbeth is no noble man and loyal to nobody unless he stands to gain something from it. He is also portrayed as power hungry and brutal

2. Macduff put his country and people first, Macbeth put himself and his interests first.

Macduff is described as a virtuous and honorable man who always puts his country and people first in whatever decision he wanted to take. He was a people pleaser.

Macbeth wanted to be wealthy and powerful and would do anything to get it, including murder. He always thought of himself first.

3. Macbeth was impatient, Macduff was not

In Macbeth's mad quest for power, he was very impatient and because of this he did not think things through before doing them. His impatience showed when he put a lot of faith in the prophecy of the witches and was desperate to be king.

Macduff by contrast was very patient and bade his time while plotting how to stop Macbeth from being King and also taking revenge.

The future continuous tense, is also called the future progressive tense. This is a verb tense which shows that a particular action will take place in the future.

The future continuous tense is formed by using: will + be + the root verb + ing. In this case, Kunal left his house to future continuous will then be "Kunal will be leaving his house".

1) Which BEST describes the organization of this passage?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

and effectAt one time or another, we have all pressed our hands against a window and looked through a pane of glass to view the world outside (or the world inside the glass). Most of us don’t give much thought to the amazing substance known as glass.

The type of glass used for windowpanes is translucent. Translucent means that the glass is transparent, or clear. This allows people to see through the glass without any trouble. Technical advances let people produce glass in many colors, shapes, and sizes for a variety of uses. However, Mother Nature creates glass without any outside help.

Natural glass forms in several different ways. Whether formed naturally or through manufacturing, the most common way of making glass is to superheat silica or quartzite sand to its melting point. The sand along shorelines and beaches contains these two materials. After the crushed quartzite or silica is superheated into a liquid form, it cools to form a clear, hard substance. This is glass.

4Scientists consider glass an amorphous substance. This means it is not truly a solid or a liquid. It exists in a state somewhere in between. Though the molecules that make up glass have a messy arrangement, they still manage to bond together and become stiff. Glass reaches this state once it has cooled after introduction to intense heat. In fact, the opposite is also true. Introducing a piece of glass to extreme heat can return it to a liquid form.

5Though this explains how glass forms, you might still be wondering how this takes place in nature. Lightning is one way that glass can form in a natural setting. When a bolt of lightning hits a sandy patch of soil, it can create natural pieces of glass called fulgurites. This occurs in much the same way as we create glass synthetically. In this case, though, the bolt of lightning creates the extreme heat needed to form glass.

6Glass also forms naturally when lava bursts from a volcano and then cools. The melting lava creates tremendous amounts of heat. It would then make sense that a natural byproduct of the fiery volcanic explosions is a glass formation called obsidian. Obsidian is a beautiful, natural spectacle. Known for its shiny black, orange, gray, or green color, it was surely the earliest type of glass used by prehistoric societies. It often forms when lava spews into the sea and the water cools the lava into hard volcanic glass. Unlike translucent glass, obsidian is usually opaque. This means you cannot see through this type of glass.

It was through these natural events that people discovered the amazing substance known as glass. After its discovery, people began manufacturing glass and using it for many practical and artistic purposes. Today, glass is an important part of our everyday lives. Just look through any window!
