Answer:

The correct answer is option B. Shelley compares the recklessness of modern scientific discovery to the recklessness of Prometheus's desire to obtain the power of the gods.

Explanation:

This question has the excerpt missin. Here it is:

In the myth of Prometheus, the titan Prometheus steals the gift of fire from the gods and gives it to humanity. Zeus punishes both humanity and Prometheus. In particular, he chains Prometheus to a rock where an eagle swoops down and eats his liver every day.

In Mary Shelley's novel Frankestein; orm the Modern Prometheus, a driven scientist named Frankestein seeks to understand the secret of life and death. He succeeds in bringing a dead body back to life, but the monster he creates punishes Frankestein for the rest of his days.

In her story, Shelley compares the discovery of the secret of life and death to Prometheus' desire for the power of the gods.

In both cases whoever performs the acts is punished. Prometeheus by Zeus, and the driven scientist by the monster he creates.

This question is missing the information in parenthesis. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

What would be the right choice of pronoun for the sentences below from the choices in the parenthesis? Also what would be the correct antecedent from the choices in parenthesis?

1. Neither of the men has decided which team ________. (he prefers or they prefer) Antecedent (Neither, team, or men)

2. Each of the short story writers has a style of ______ own. (her or their) Antecedent (writer, style, Each)

Answer:

For number 1, the correct choices are "he prefers" (pronoun) and "Neither" (antecedent).

For number 2, the correct choices are "her" (pronoun) and "Each" (antecedent).

Explanation:

In colloquial language, we tend to not pay much attention to this, but when the subject of a sentence is "neither" or "each", we must use singular pronouns to refers to it. Since it is common for those words to be followed by plural nouns, we get easily confused, and end up using plural pronouns.

1. Neither of the men has decided which team... --> Who has decided? Neither. Therefore, "neither" is the antecedent. Since it is singular, we must choose the singular option, "he prefers".

2. Each of the short story writers has a style of... own. --> Who has a style? Each. I know it sounds strange on its own, but "each" is the subject. Since it is singular, we must use "her", the singular pronoun, to complete the sentence.

Analyze the various characters in the story. List which character types—dynamic, round, static, and flat—you observed in the sto

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

There were three main characters in this story.

Della Dillingham Young (dynamic)

James Dillingham Young (dynamic/ static)

Madame Sofronie (flat)

Explanation:

Della was a dynamic character throughout the story because she was always up for the help, support, care and sacrifice. She can handle and change according to the situation. She sold her hairs to buy gift to her husband.

James was a static character in start because change was not his thing but when he had no money for gift, he decided to sell his precious thing just make his wife happy by giving her gift so it was also his dynamic side. So, James was both dynamic and static.

Madame Sofronie was a flat business woman who had no concern what Della is going through or what hairs meant to her. She didn't even look properly and told Della the price. So, madame Sofronie was a flat, emotionless, harsh business woman.

Please what is the literary device for .The boys can not eat the fruit

Alona [7]

Answer:

I'm not sure but this is what I think

Explanation:

Well, Fruit (slang) Fruit and fruitcake, as well as many variations, are slang or even sexual slang terms which have various origins but modern usage tend to primarily refer to gay men and sometimes other LGBT people. Usually used as pejoratives, the terms have also been re-appropriated as insider terms of endearment within LGBT communities. And if the passage is saying boys cannot eat the fruit, and it primarily refers gay MEN, it is probably referring to not being gay, or being homophobic.
