Answer:

The statement that best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is:

D. Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.

Explanation:

<u>There are several themes explored in Gothic literature, and sin is among them.</u> In Hawthorne's <u>"The Scarlet Letter", set in Puritan Boston of the 1600's</u>, sin is the definitely the main theme. Of course, since the book was published in 1850, the concept of sin had been greatly altered. While<u> the characters in the story suffer terribly from the accusations of being sinners</u>, or the fear of being accused to be so, the society that actually read the book saw them as human beings who make mistakes and deserve forgiveness.

<u>The main character, Hester Prynne, is shamed for being an adulteress. She is punished and shunned by a vengeful society. The very man who had an affair with her, on the other hand, hides his sin, afraid of owning up to it and being punished as well.</u> For that reason, we can choose letter D as the best option: Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.

Which sentence best describes the conflict in this story a wrongfully accused man must represent himself in court to persuade an
sveta [45]

The conflict provided can be best described as an external conflict, more specifically a character vs. society type of conflict, as further explained below.

<h3>What is conflict?</h3>

This question seems to be missing the answer choices and, because we were not able to find the complete question online, we will provide you with a general answer to help you. First, let's understand that a conflict, in literature, is a fight or opposition between two forces.

First, we can divide conflict into two types:

  • External conflict - between the character and an external force.
  • Internal conflict - between the character and his own thoughts, feelings, fears, etc.

Another possible categorization of conflicts is:

  • Character vs. character
  • Character vs. self
  • Character vs. nature
  • Character vs. society

The conflict described in the scenario in the question is an external conflict, more specifically a character vs. society one. The character is the wrongfully accused man, and he needs to prove to society, represented by the jury, that he is innocent.

Answer:

shape metal by melting it and pouring it into a mold

Explanation:

To cast is to pour a melted metal into a mold so that it acquires the form of the mold. A cast piece is not formed under pressure but rather left to take on the shape of the mold in which it is poured.

Casting can be used for many different types of material, of which some of the most common are plastics and metals since they can be melted relatively easily and their is a demand for them to be made into certain shapes.
