ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

able to be observed

Explanation:

Thus question refers to excrept from Mark Twain's novel "Roughing It".

The word "perceptible" would most effectively be explained as "capable of being perceived" and it originates from Latin word "percipere" which means to understand, to know something with one's senses.

In the paragraph 1, this word is used in a sentence " The snow lay so deep on the ground that there was no sign of a road perceptible...".

That basically means that, because of the snow, the road could not be seen, observed or recognized.

natulia [17]
Both poems deal with the theme of ideas in the air that are related to the conflicts between belief systems related to romanticism. More or less it is the idea of common sense between spiritual and while Ode to a nightingale focuses on this, A slant of light speaks of oppression that's in the air and a fleeting sense of spiritual.

Can someone help me with these two questions about the crucible and the author Arthur miller .
Harman [31]

1. Arthur Miller used the inspiration he got from reading the <em>"Devil in Massachusetts" by Marion L. Starke</em>, which gave a modern perspective to the Salem Witchcraft Trials, to write his book <em>"The Crucible." </em>

<em>"The Crucible"</em> likened the HUAC (The House Un-American Activities Committee) trials of those suspected of belonging to Communist or Socialist groups to the Salem affairs.

In colonial Massachusetts, many innocent people got branded as witches and wizards without substantiation. Some people lost their lives by hanging, while many were imprisoned and suffered humiliation between 1692 and 1693.

2. The essence of Miller's message in <em>"The Crucible" </em>about those who stood fast against HUAC is that <em>good people have the responsibility to question </em><em>corrupt authority</em>, no matter where it occurs. Miller concluded that despite threats to lives and reputations,<em> "good people should always stand against injustice."</em>

Thus, Arthur Miller carefully wrote <em>"The Crucible" </em>to resuscitate the Salem Witchcraft Trials, showing that injustice and corruption could wear the <em>garbs of authority</em>. He also challenged McCarthyism, which was at the root of HUAC.
