Answer:

The “Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale” was written at a time when the social structure of England was evolving, allowing for a merchant class to emerge of which the Wife of Bath is a prime example. The story provides insight on women’s roles in the Late Middle Ages when they could occupy only three stations in society: maiden, widow or wife. The Wife of Bath is unique in this context: as a childless widow, she has inherited her husbands’ wealth (as property was passed down to sons even if their mothers were still alive) which allows for more autonomy than other women of the time. The character in this story was one of Chaucer’s most developed with the prologue almost twice as long as the actual tale itself; it is remembered as one of the best-known in the collection. She calls herself “Alys” and “Alyson” though this is also the name of a friend she references and various other characters throughout the Tales which causes confusion for students and scholars alike.

nydimaria [60]

The effect of foreshadowing in Shakespeare's Macbeth creates a sense of tension and a slight sense of dramatic irony as many characters in the play are oblivious to their fate whereas the audience may know what is going to happen.

Sort each group of words according to whether it is a clause or Not clauses
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Clause

Susan waited patiently

I swim

because she visited

Not Clause.

those zebras

bought a new skateboard

the girl in the relay race

Explanation:

A clause can be defined as a group of words that contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase. A clause contains a subject and a predicate and is part of a longer sentence and it can be the sentence itself.

How do we identify a clause?

Though, clauses come in four types: main, subordinate, relative, and noun.

They all have something in common. Every clause no matter its type and form has at least a subject and a verb.

In each of the group of words above, the presence of a subject and a verb makes it a clause else, it is not.

- those zebras (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no verb

- Susan waited patiently (a clause).

Why? It has a subject (Susan) and a verb (waited)

- bought a new skateboard (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no subject

- the girl in the relay race (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no verb

I swim (a clause).

Why? It has a subject (I) and a verb (swim)

because she visited (a clause).

Why? It has a subject (she) and a verb (visited)

How do you know that menchus father did not advocate violence
Mkey [24]
<span>WORDLY WISE 3OOO® ONLINE Level 8 • PassageLesson 10 Rigoberta Menchu The four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s famous voyage was 1   commemorated in 1892 with much fanfare throughout North and South America. The five hundredth anniversary celebrations, in 1992, were muted by comparison. Instead of celebrating, many people drew attention to how thoroughly the European settlers had wreaked devastation upon the original inhabitants of the Americas. In that year, too, the Nobel Committee awarded its Peace Prize to Rigoberta Menchu, a thirty-three-year-old native woman from Guatemala. She was honored for her “increasingly prominent part as an advocate of native rights.” Until Menchu was sixteen, she spoke only Quiché, one of some twenty dialects of the Guatemalan native peoples. The Quiché are the descendants of the once-proud Mayas. Mayan civilization flourished in Central America until about 900. Menchu came to prominence in 1983 with the publication in Spanish of her autobiography I, Rigoberta Menchu. The book gives an account of the atrocities committed by government forces from the 1960s up to the 1980s against the peasant population of Guatemala. While the country’s elite lived in heavily guarded, luxurious homes in Guatemala City, the native peoples lived in abject poverty. Natives made up more than half of the population. Their little plots of land, which provided only a meager living, could be seized without warning by wealthy landowners. To protest was to risk severe punishment by the army. An entire village could be razed and its inhabitants slaughtered. During the thirty-year conflict, an estimated one hundred thousand unarmed native peasants were killed; tens of thousands fled the turmoil in the countryside for the safety of neighboring Mexico. There they languished for many years in refugee camps. Others escaped to the mountains to wage a decades-long civil war against the army. Menchu’s own family experienced terrible losses for resisting the army’s rigid control of the country. Her father was repeatedly beaten, tortured, and jailed for organizing nonviolent protests. In 1980, he was part of a group that occupied the Spanish embassy in Guatemala City. The goal was to draw attention to the government’s flagrant abuses of human rights. During this occupation, the building was set on fire, killing those trapped inside. Later, Menchu’s sixteen-year-old brother, along with twenty others, was abducted and killed by the military. A year later her mother was abducted by army </span>
