Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A) Keeping the nation safe.

Explanation: Both the opening and the closing lines of this excerpt refer to the outgoing effort that the government of the United States was doing in order to keep the nation safe from Al-Qaeda - "our mission continues" and "unprecedented measures to defend the homeland and we will continue to hunt down [...]." Likewise, throughout the text there are references to the danger that the terrorist organization was still posing ("they continue to plot against free people," "proliferation of deadly weapons," and "the enemies of freedom as not idle"), as if to stress that the role of the US government in defending its territory was crucial. In this part of his speech President George W. Bush was not talking about supporting the government, starting terrorist organizations or specifically improving the use of technology.

“Thou are not lovelier than lilacs”

Hunter-Best [27]

While the poems were written centuries apart, they have many similarities. Both poems are sonnets that use comparisons but in an unusual way. Each tells what the love is not lovelier than. Both poems use imagery involving nature, and both use vivid word choice. While Millay does state her love is not more beautiful than "small white poppies," she "bend[s] before" him in awe. Shakespeare makes a point of stating that his love is an ordinary woman, not a goddess. Both poets use careful diction and poetic language. Shakespeare uses "hath," and inverts sentences. Millay uses "thy" and "thou" along with other archaic words. Her line, "lovelier than lilacs" is an example of her choosing words for their sound as much as their meaning. The lines "day by day unto his draught/of delicate poison adds him one drop more" also illustrates her concern for the sound of the poem. Love and lovers seem little changed over the centuries!

How does Prufrock's intellect affect his ability to interact with others? Does his intelligence help or hinder him?

GalinKa [24]

Prufrock has all the normal desires of a young man, but he is ultimately incapable of doing anything. He is compelled to think everything through, but it doesn't help him at all. The thoughts just can't transform into actions, in part because he is afraid, in part because he lacks confidence, and in part because he can see no sense in all of it. He doesn't "dare disturb the universe" by asking "an overwhelming question". He is only capable of entering trivial, petty interactions with the world obsessed with material, "the cups, the marmalade, the tea, / Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me". This matter renders Prufrock's existence futile, and he is all too aware of it. His intelligence doesn't help him at all, because it locks him into a self-indulgent, passive world, rendering him aware of all the impossibilities.

Name before indexing. Regina Wells Nitka comes before Regis Walter Nitka. true or false

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Question requires the order of the names after indexing.

Names need to be indexed before they are ordered alphabetically.

Indexing means to put it in the following order:

Surname ⇒ First name ⇒ Middle name or initial

Indexing those names will be:

Regina Wells Nitka ⇒ Nitka Regina Wells

Regis Walter Nitka ⇒ Nitka Regis Wells

After indexing, Regina Wells Nitka will come before Regis Walter Nitka on account of the n in Regina coming before the s in Regis.
