In my view Hedda Gabbler is the most morally ambiguous between the two. Allow me to compare the two characters in order to clarify my views. Hedda Gabbler is an older Norwegian housewife of upper-*Middle class who chose to marry because she was starting to grow older. Her motivations are not always clear and sometimes it seems as though she suffers some kind of mental illness. Also, the etymology of her name is quite revelatory, her name comes from " the Germanic name Hadewig, derived from the Germanic elements hadu "battle, combat" and wig "war" (https://www.behindthename.com/name/hedwig). Hedda is obviously in conflict with the patriarchal society of her time and she aims to not only be in command of her own destiny but also to control her husband. She kills herself in order to deny the power of a man over her. Even in her death she is defiant. Daisy Miller on the other hand is a very young adult and rich American who loves Europe and its ways. She is naive and innocent and her behavior is not as vindictive as the behavior of Hedda Gabbler. Daisy is in opposition to the conservative and patriarchal views of society more because of her exposition ot European cultures and less due to a conscious realization of her condition. Her name is the name of a flower and her death is also symbolic as she dies from malaria. Flowers die during winter and Daisy's winter is the disease that kills her. She is more a victim than a proto-feminist.

What prediction does the text best support?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Nora is going to tell Helmer to treat her better.

Explanation:

From the text, it can be predicted that "Nora is going to tell Helmer to treat her better".

We can deduce that when Nora stated that she has not be happy but rather merry, she was pointing out to Helmer that she wanted to be merry and not just merry.

Nora pointed out that their marriage has been more of playing and catching fun but still felt that there is something better that can come forth from the marriage. So, the prediction is that she will tell Helmer to treat her better.

Option D is the correct answer.

Natalka [10]

The tactics that civil rights activists used to oppose racial segregation were sit- ins, boycotts and protest marches.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Movement was a social movement undertaken by the colored people, to end the racial discrimination against them.

People of many different races and religions were also part of the movement.

But predominantly, most of their activists were African- Americans. Activists no matter what their race or religion was, joined in the protest.

The participants led a very non- violent form of protest. Despite the fact that they were attacked by angry mobs, they refused to bow down to the violence and carried on with their protest quietly.

Finally, the outcome was in the favor of the  African Americans, and the white people slowly changed their attitude towards the colored race and gave them the rights, they deserved.
