Answer:

C. Unmarried girls should devote themselves to painstakingly caring for their parents and demonstrating great respect for them.

Explanation:

Zhao Ban's poem "On Reverence for Parents" is an extensive expression of how unmarried women must take care of their parents. The poem 'lists' the ways unmarried girls must take care of their parents to be honorable to their ancestors.

In the poem, the speaker begins by saying <em>"Girls not yet gone out from their homes"</em> should take good care to be of servitude to their parents. She details how they must be of 'use' to their parents and help them navigate their lives. This, according to the speaker, is how <em>"[they] can honor [their] ancestors." </em>

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

How does the medium of Interview with Marielle Tsukamoto affect the structure of the main ideas and supporting sentences?
natima [27]
The interview is like an informal and formal one. A lot is expected to an interview. It doesn't really have to be formal or not because everything is subjective. It is informal compared to an essay. It is formal compared to a speech.

Explain how Squealer's description in the 2nd paragraph, "Squealer was so fat that he could with difficulty see out of his eyes"
jekas [21]

Answer:

In literature, when the author uses exaggeration/oversimplification of certain character traits, it is referred to as a caricature. Often insulting, caricatures can also be complimentary or even have a political purpose.

In George Orwell's political allegory, <em>Animal farm</em>, Squealer is one of the three most important animals who rebel against their human farmer. Squealer comes as a clever character with good persuasion techniques. He is, however, quite selfish and power-hungry (like most of the leaders). The very fact that he is described as having a difficulty with seeing "out of his eyes" speaks volumes about both his physical appearance and personality. He is a very fat pig, indeed, but he also only cares about his own interests.

Identify the direct object in the sentence below. "I threw the catcher the ball but I missed." A) threw B) catcher C) ball D) mi
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

the direct object is ball.

Explanation:

If you diagram the sentence, the verb is threw. Then, you find that the subject is I. Ask the question, *I threw "who?" or "what?". You will get the answer I threw ball. It isn't catcher because you can't throw a catcher. The word "the" is always an adjective, and so is "a". Missed is an adverb. That is how you find that the answer is "ball"!! I hope that this helped, and it will really make my day if you mark me as brainiest :D! Enjoy your day.
