Answer:

The two lines are:

And we are here as on a darkening plain

Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight

Explanation:

From the excerpt, the above set of lines actually suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith.

This is true because from the passage, the speaker reveals that there is a world that lies before them like a land of dream which they see as beautiful and new. The speaker discovers that the world has neither joy, nor peace, nor love, nor help for pain and then realizes that they are "on a darkening plain" and "swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight". It means that what they expected from the world they saw as land of dream wasn't what they actually found it out to be.

This then suggests that the speaker has undergone loss of hope.

What is Mr. Bennet's attitude toward Catherine and Lydia's behavior?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The best option seems to be 1. They should continue to socialize with their relatives and with the officers stationed in Meryton.

Explanation:

Mr. Bennet is a character is the novel "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. He is the father of five daughters, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Catherine (Kitty), and Lydia. His two youngest daughters, Kitty and Lydia, constantly present a foolish behavior. Even though very young, they have already been introduced to society. They attend balls and often walk to the town nearby to socialize with their relatives and friends. Their sole purpose is to find husbands - if handsome ones, even better.

We would expect Mr. Bennet to be against their behavior since, at that time, propriety and decency were most valued. It was very easy for a girl to lose her good reputation in the early 19th century. Yet, we would be mistaken. Mr. Bennet has quite an indolent character, always choosing the path of least resistance. He does not try to prevent his daughters from acting foolish, from socializing with relatives and the officers stationed in Meryton. His permissiveness is what later allows Lydia to make a huge mistake that almost ruins her sisters. Lydia is invited by an officer's wife to accompany them to Bath. Elizabeth quickly goes to her father and asks him to forbid Lydia's trip. He, however, hopes that Lydia will realize her own insignificance upon going to Bath with the others. He dismisses Elizabeth's concerns only to be surprised by Lydia's eloping with Mr. Wickham. At that time, if a girl eloped, she was regarded as sinful, and tainted the reputation of her sisters, preventing them from finding husbands.

What is the event that causes the speaker to reflect in "Dust of Snow"?

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

A crow knocked some snow down onto the speaker

This is the event that causes the speaker to reflect in the “Dust of Snow.”

Explanation:

Robert Frost’s poem “Dust of Snow,” is about being optimistic. The poet was sitting under a Hemlock tree when a crow knocked down some snow particles on him. This simple incident struck a different chord of the poet’s mind and changed his view about life completely. So he thinks it is ironic that a crow not related to goodness did a good deed and evoked the sense of finding positive in negative situations. This small event led to the shift of the poet’s mood from hopelessness to hope.
