English
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The first section of an elegy expresses sorrow for the deceased.

The last section of an elegy expresses consolation and comfort.

Explanation:

Elegies are narrative poems written after the death of a person. This poem acts as a means to mourn the death or passing of that person, and acts as a mournful song for the deceased.

Elegies are normally written in such a way that the beginning part expresses the pain and sorrow felt by the speaker at the death of the person. It then moves on to express consolation and comfort towards the end of the poem. Most famous elegies are "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman written for Abraham Lincoln and W.H. Auden's "In Memory of W.B. Yeats".

Which claim has Paine refuted?
artcher [175]

The correct answer is B) Britain should govern the American colonies because the colonists are of English descent.

<h3>Who is paine?</h3>

Political philosopher and author Thomas Paine, who was born in England, advocated uprisings in both America and Europe.

"Britain should administer the American colonies since the colonists are of English descent," was the notion that Paine rejected.

On January 9, 1776, English philosopher Thomas Paine released the well-known pamphlet "Common Sense." Paine invited and exhorted American colonists to assist the independence movement in that document. Pained presented his justifications for the colonies' independence in a 47-page treatise. Many people were affected by his thoughts, which reverberated across the 13 colonies. About 500,000 copies of the pamphlet were sold. And it most certainly qualified as a best-seller at the time.
