Answer:

b  "If I did those things, then I could enjoy the other areas of my life."

Explanation:

Liam Dolan's essay "Carry Your Own Skis" is a short narrative about how she learned to mind her own business and take care of her needs alone, independently. The phrase <em>"carry your own skis"</em> may have been used by her mother to teach them about being independent in their need to enjoy skiing in the literal sense, but at the same time, it also metaphorically suggest the importance of being independent and able to stand up on one's own feet without depending on others.

In her remark <em>"Dull, yes, but freeing, too",</em> she said this after talking about her various responsibilities and how she did them all by herself. And the remark that <em>"the other areas of my life"</em> are<em> "dull"</em> but <em>"freeing"</em> best captures the idea behind this quote. She meant to say that after all things are done, she has time for other things in life which may be dull but the very essence of doing things independently gave her a feeling of achievement, of being free with no obligations to anyone.  

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

Answer:

Hello,

When you have multiple that are all working together on a project or in conjunction on that same project, This would we be a great to implement CDM.

Explanation:

Its easy for one person to make a speedy decision on behalf of the entire team or group. This would only be acceptable if time was constricted or it did not really require a group as they would not be affected .

One of the great take always from CDM is that we are all different and have our own unique way of looking at how to solve problems. When we share a problem with a group then it becomes a much better well thought-out plan. This is more likely to be successful everyone involved as everyone was heard and ideas were spoken.

2. What is the significance of Beowulf fighting Grendel without a sword or shield but hand to hand?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Beowulf states that he will fight Grendel without armor or sword, hand to claw, because the ogre does not use weapons. If Beowulf is killed, he wants his war-shirt (breast armor, mail) returned to King Hygelac. Hrothgar offers a joyful feast in honor of Beowulf's arrival.
