It’s just ‘is’ because ‘are’ is mainly used for plural

The way you can tell to use “is” and not “are” is to consider if “mathematics” is singular or not. “Mathematics” is typically used as a singular noun, to describe the field of study (not a group of mathematicians). However, it is plural in form- we describe said field of study as “mathematics” and not “mathematic”. This contrasts other singular nouns; biology, for instance, is not called biologies. Even though “mathematics” is plural in form, it is still singular. Thus, the most grammatically correct sentence would be “mathematics is very hard”. In my experience, however, it’s more common to say “math / maths is very hard.”

Answer: A. “Men” functions as a keyword that helps create a rhythm.

Explanation:

The most likely reason that the speaker repeats the word “men” in the passage is because “Men” functions as a keyword that helps create a rhythm.

"Men" doesn't emphasize the subject that the speaker is interested in discussing nor does it functions as an important point in the speaker’s logical argument, rather it is vital for the rhythm in the passage to be created.

How do you evaluate the moment when the father told his son about the quote 'St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians says that
zlopas [31]

Answer and Explanation:

You forgot to say that this question is about "Marriage Is a Private Affair." The moment when the father affrms that women must remain silent is a moment when we can perceive a generation gap. This is because the father was raised in a generation in which women were oppressed and limited, they had no rights and could not occupy prominent positions in society. However, for the child, women must be subjected to quality education to promote a more egalitarian and fair society, where women are of great importance, as well as their words.
