Answer:

A. If it were not for them being alone in the cab with time to spare, the stories main plot would not be resolved.

Explanation:

O. Henry's short story "Mammon and the Archer," tells the story of a rich man and his life of money and how he helped save his son's life. The story follows a young man trying to get his love and how his father had secretly helped save him from all that stress and 'sickness' of being love-struck.

The setting in the cab is the main point of the whole story, the deciding factor for the plot's resolution. So, if it were not for the two lovers being alone in the cab, then there would have been no time to spare which will lead Miss Lantry to be with her mother and not Richard. Also, it was the delayed act with the cab scene that helped the plot's resolution, or else the resolution may have turned into something different.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

What does the description of Grendel's mother in lines 1–29 reveal about her AND the social context of the time? (you will check

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Grendel's mother and the Anglo-Saxons believe in the philosophy of taking "an eye for an eye."

Just like any other mother, Grendel's mother would do anything to protect her son.

The Anglo-Saxons understood that "sacrifice" would be a part of" victory."

Explanation:

Grendel's mother is described as an avenger, who wants to take revenge for the death of her son, with the death of the one who killed her son, even if it meant sacrificing her life. This shows that Grendel's mother, although a showy creature was an Anglo-Saxon mother and culture, a mother sacrifices herself for her son, as sacrifice is a victory in this culture and shows a strong commitment and courage.

Furthermore, revenge is based on the "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" philosophy showing that if you killed someone, you must die too.
