The correct answer is "the desire of wise men".

In her play "Frankenstein" (1823), Mary Shelley uses different syntactic strategies in order to put emphasis on certain information. For example, she could have written something like this: "within my grasp is the study and desire of the wisest men...".  

Instead, she chose to present the information in a rhetorical way. She introduced the "wh" word "what" opening the window for the reader to question himself what is the meaning of "what"?  

What is THAT THING that had been the study and desire of wisest men since the creation of the world?  What did they want to know?

Which statement shows bias?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Although A seems like a great answer as well, D is a statement that only gives  one side of a story. You and I both don't know the man, but the speaker of the sentence has already gotten you and I to think about one thing: The man's lack of intelligence.

viva [34]

Answer: Option "2" is best suited to describe the view of other nations on the informality ways of Americans.

Explanation: Other people of other nations unlike Americans believe in formality as a form of respect especially towards elders, while they view informality as a form or disrespect. In a country like Asia where formality is practiced and preferred it would be wrong when an American addresses the Asians informality because his or her intentions would be interpreted as being rude.

In America and other European countries they believe informality is friendliness and openness towards the other person which to them is a virtue, regardless of age and status an American man would prefer to call you by your first name.
