English

Vladimir [108]3 years ago

Answer:

The lesson learned from the story teaches that violence is very much part of the nature of man and that the fact that it is repressed does not translate to an absence of it. The extent to which each human's ability to be wicked is relative to the amount of power he can exercise at that moment.

Explanation:

First, we see a subtle kind of violence in the form of selfishness and cruelty from the rich man who though his slave served him with commitment, diligence and honesty deprived him of his wages three years in a row and would have continued had the servant not insisted on his wages.

The second of such violence is seen from the Jew who though a thief hesitated not to report another "thief" to be sentenced to death.

The other thief who thought didn't steal outrightly was worse than the first two. At the beginning of the story, he seemed like he was of a gentle heart and has a big capacity to suffer I'll wrong from others without getting offended. Alas, in the third paragraph before the last, then we see the servant now in possession of extraordinary gifts which gave him the power to make anyone dance, hit anything he aimed for, and get anything he wished for, utilizes his powers to the demise of the Jew who had tried to have him hung front.

Without careful scrutiny, it may be easily dismissed, in the case between the servant and the Jew that the Jew was at fault. However, a careful reader would observe that the servant without much thought was happy to use his powers even if it meant the death of another.

If we contrast the attitude of the servant with the rich man at the beginning of the story who withheld wages, we see that there is much difference in the level of each person's depravity, with the servant's predisposition (that has finally been revealed. A slave maltreater versus a murderer.

This lesson mentioned that an effective introduction includes three main parts. One of them is called _______
Olenka [21]

Answer:

C). The reason the issue is important.

Explanation:

Introduction is one of the most significant elements of an essay or research paper as it functions to grab the audience's attention by introducing the key subject matter(topic) and its scope to them and outlining the key ideas that are going to be discussed.

It primarily consists of three elements: the opening statement(or the 'attention grabber') that reveals the topic in an appealing manner before the readers that captures their attention which is followed by <u>supporting details(lead-in sentence) that justifies that why the topic(issue or concern that is being discussed) is significant</u> and lastly, the thesis statement which declares the scope or purpose of the essay or work and key aspects that the author is going to focus upon.

As per the question, after grabbing the attention from the opening statement, <u>the author needs to establish the credibility of his topic and build audience's trust</u>. Therefore, he brings in 'the reason why the issue is significant' as it functions to support the author's decision to select that specific topic and aspect. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Read the passage. And how come we think dogs are so smart? Sure a dog might be clever enough to fetch his leash when he wants to
Nataly_w [17]
C is the choice I would make because I believe the writer is planning to answer this question: "and how come we think dogs are so smart". The writer never tells us what dogs can't do (a) or mention others being dumb (b) and doesn't make fun of humans (d)
