Answer:

It provides the foundation for a word’s meaning.

Explanation:

Let's say, for example, you encountered the word "unhappiness" within a reading text. And, let's say that you had no idea whatsoever what the affixes -un and -ness meant. You would at the very least be able to recognize (a form of) the word 'happy' as the root of the larger word and know that the word had something to do with the concept of "happy."

How does Hamlet feel about the challenge to fight Laertes? Why?
lbvjy [14]
Hamlet does accept the duel however, for two reasons: firstly, it offers him an opportunity to resolve his conflict with Laertes, whose forgiveness he craves (a fencing duel with foils - blunted blades - is a courtly sport after all, and chiefly an exercise in male bonding).

Secondly, and more significantly, Hamlet is world-weary and ready to succumb to any outside agency.

Pick a descriptive passage from a chapter of Silas Marner. Give reasons why you think that it adds to character in action.
slavikrds [6]
A descriptive passage that might reveal more information about Silas could be the following;
<span>"Strangely Marner’s face and figure shrank and bent themselves into a constant mechanical relation to the objects of his life, so that he produced the same sort of impression as a handle or a crooked tube, which has no meaning standing apart. The prominent eyes that used to look trusting and dreamy, now looked as if they had been made to see only one kind of thing that was very small, like tiny grain, for which they hunted everywhere; and he was so withered and yellow, that, though he was not yet forty, the children always called him “Old Master Marner.” (chapter 2)
</span>From this excerpt, the reader might get to know that he lives a mechanical life in the industrialized world so he seems to be dehumanized just for the fact that he lives to work and get money. It could be also perceived that his eyesight had been damaged because of work but his ability to see goes beyond the literal meaning of it. he is also deteriorated both physically, mentally  and spiritual

2. Which of these is an example of hubris?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

After escaping, Odysseus continues to taunt Polyphemus and brags about his exploits.

Explanation:

The term "hubris" refers to the quality of a person in having or exhibiting extreme pride and ambition in his/her own actions and abilities. This personality quality of a person, in the over-confidence of a person, will oftentimes lead to an inescapable downfall later on.

In the epic "The Odyssey" by Homer, hubris is one character trait of Odysseus. One such example is when they were on the island of Polyphemus. After 'stealing' from Polyphemus, Odysseus lost many of his men to the cyclops. But despite that, he brags about his 'loot' and even taunts the one-eyes monster. He knows that it was against the wish of the gods to get involved or 'disturb' the cyclops, and that 'looting' a demi-god was against the rules, Odysseus couldn't help but brag about it, his bravery and ability in escaping the clutches of the demi-god.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
