This question is missing the excerpt. I was able to find the complete question online. The excerpt is the following:

RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester):

. . . And if King Edward be as true and just

As I am subtle, false and treacherous,

This day should Clarence closely me mew'd up,

About a prophecy, which say that 'G'

Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be.

Dive, thoughts, down to my soul: here

Clarence comes.

(Enter CLARENCE, guarded, and BRAKENBURY)

Brother, good day; what means this armed guard

That waits upon your grace?

GEORGE PLANTAGENET (Duke of Clarence): His majesty

Tendering my person's safety, hath appointed

This conduct to convey me to the Tower.

RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): Upon what cause?

Answer:

The line from the excerpt that is a stage direction is:

(Enter CLARENCE, guarded, and BRAKENBURY).

Explanation:

"Richard III" is a tragic play written by English playwright William Shakespeare which tells the story of how Richard III, king of England, rose to power.

When we write a play, we need to add instructions concerning different aspects such as the actors' positioning on stage or their tone when speaking, the lighting, the sound effects, etc. Those instructions are called stage directions.

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, there is a stage direction indicating when two other characters must come onto the stage, and even indicating that one of them will be accompanied by a guard. Therefore, the stage direction is:

(Enter CLARENCE, guarded, and BRAKENBURY)

What theme do these two excerpts from Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis have in common?

nignag [31]

When looking at both excerpts, there are a few themes that can be seen within them. However, there is one that the two have in common. In the first excerpt there is mention of the provision of a good life for his sister and parents. In the second excerpt there is mention of the provision of the demonstration of patience and consideration for this family. We can see in both excerpts that this is done out of a sense of responsibility Gregor has for his kin. As such, “D” is the most appropriate response as the theme these two excerpts have in common is the sense of duty toward one’s family.

How do the historical details in this passage support the authors' claim? sugar changed the world

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

- The text describes a revolt in detail to show that enslaved people took action against their treatment on sugar plantations.

Explanation:

The historical details regarding the revolt brought by 'African American slaves to demand their rights and take necessary actions against the mistreatment and the slave trade on sugar plantations.' The description of 'hard times—slavery times' and slave life at sugar plantations sixty years ago' where 'every body worked, young, an ole’ displays the miseries of the slaves before the revolt. It also suggests that they went through a lot of sufferings which eventually made them to speak for themselves. Since the slaves were the connection between the sugar and the world, slavery was eventually abolished.
