Answer:
Yes, I believe it could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Explanation:
Self-fulfilling prophecy is a result of the Pygmalion effect. According to this theory, we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. If people believe we will succeed, for example, we too begin to believe we will succeed. For that reason, we change our behavior, aligning it with the belief, making a self-fulfilling prophecy out of it.
In the short story "Harrison Bergeron", Harrison is a fourteen-year-old who is considered to be above average in a world that does not allow people to be anything but average. Intelligent and/or beautiful people are forced by the government to wear handicappers, so that others won't feel offended or humiliated. Treating Harrison like that - forcing him to wear loads of handicappers - convinces him that he is superior, that he is special, that he deserves to show how wonderful he is to the world. People's expectations of Harrison create a self-fulfilling prophecy. He will now inevitably act as if he were really as handsome and intelligent as others claim him to be.
Harrison appears on TV after escaping from where he was kept. He removes his handicappers and dances with a ballerina, until they are both shot and killed. If Harrison were truly superior, truly exceedingly intelligent, he would have known better than to do that. His actions were not the result of his real intelligence, but of his being treated as being more intelligent than others.

The group of words in bold is a phrase.
<u>Explanation</u>
- Phrases are those sentences in which there are no verb and subject while clause are those set of words in which there are both subject or verb in them.
- The clause is generally used as a single part of speech. The phrase is a collection of words combined as one single unit.
- In the sentence "Just do it", there is a verb but no subject in it. Therefore, it is the phrase . On the other hand the sentence, "When you care enough to send the very best", "you" is the subject here while there are two verbs "send" and "care" which makes it a clause.
Answer:
The snake means that his poison can kill the body and allow the soul to return to where it came from.
Explanation:
The children's classic "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery revolves around the story of a stranded pilot's encounter with a "Little Prince" from the planet<em> "Asteroid B-612".</em>
The Little Prince's encounter with the<em> "coil of gold" </em>on the barren desert is found in chapter 17. Here, the Little Prince did not know about snakes nor about anything but was courteously conversing with the reptile. When he commented on how powerless the snake is, <em>"u haven't even any feet. You cannot even travel. . ."</em> the snake remarked that <em>"Whomever I touch, I send back to the earth from whence he came."</em>
This reference is to the Biblical notion of man coming from dust and returning to dust when one dies. So, when he said <em>"whence they came"</em> he's talking about the poison that can kill and send men back to the earth.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
