Answer:

D. To dwell on revenge is to dwell in the past, never moving forward, and therefore overall not worth the effort.

Explanation:

The given question refers to the essay <em>Of Revenge</em> written by Francis Bacon, an English philosopher and statesman from the 16th and 17th centuries. In his essay, he tells about his opinion on revenge. He believes that people are not supposed to take revenge on others, but turn to the law. It's up to the law to decide what punishment someone who has harmed us deserves. He states that a person who forgives and doesn't take revenge is morally superior and more likely to heal and move on.

The central idea of the text is that revenge is a thing of the past. To dwell on revenge is to dwell in the past, never moving forward, and therefore overall not worth the effort. We can make this conclusion based on the following line: <em>That which is past is gone, and irrevocable; and wise men have enough to do with things present and to come: therefore they do but trifle with themselves, that labour in past matters.  </em>

This is why option D is the correct one.

Serjik [45]

Answer: Read again stanzas one and two. Suggest a word or phrase of your own that best describe how the two characters feel about each other . In ballad of Birmingham, In the First Stanza, the daughter was asking for permission from her Mother, to go to the march, you could see, she respected her mother, and needed approval to do certain things. In the second stanza, you could see a Cautious woman, protecting her child from the dangers of the world.

Explanation:

In the first stanza;

Mother dear, may I go downtown

Instead of out to play,

And march the streets of Birmingham

In a Freedom March today?”

In the First Stanza, the daughter was asking for permission from her Mother, to go to the march, you could see, she respected her mother, and needed approval to do certain things.

In the second stanza;

No, baby, no, you may not go,

For the dogs are fierce and wild,

And clubs and hoses, guns and jails

Aren’t good for a little child.”

In the second stanza, the mother refuses, because she was trying to protect her daughter from the dangers of her environment.

From the first two stanzas, you could see that the mother loved her daughter and wanted to protect her from the dangers of the world, and you could see that the daughter respected her mum, to ask for permission to go the march.
