Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled

up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
Review the following line from the text:

The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for nearly an hour before moving on.

To create a more negative connotation, the author could have replaced the word curious with which of the following synonyms?
Nosy
Passive
Interested
Familiar

Romeo and Juliet -
just olya [345]

Answer:

The Nurse is a bawdy, overly talkative,and humorous character in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. She teases Juliet, but is also completely devoted to Juliet. She eventually betrays Juliet's wishes by giving her unkind advice. Even so, the Nurse is completely grief-stricken by Juliet's feigned death.

The Nurse dotes on Juliet

Peace, I have done. God mark thee to his grace! Thou wast the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed: An I might live to see thee married once, I have my wish.

- Act I, Scene 3

Explanation:

The Nurse is a character who helps Juliet and also provides comic relief throughout the first half of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In the second half of the play, the Nurse is no longer Juliet's ally. All humorous parts of her character seem to be lacking after that point.

In the first two acts, The Nurse is loyal to Juliet, and supportive of her secret romance with Romeo. She helps to arrange the marriage of Romeo and Juliet

Prior to the romance, the Nurse has speeches and scenes that are clearly designed to provoke laughter. In the course of carrying messages and bringing the two young lovers together, the Nurse has many comedic scenes.

In Act three, however, the Nurse changes her opinion and encourages Juliet to betray Romeo and deny their marriage. After that moment, all comic scenes are over, and the Nurse is no longer included in Juliet's clandestine plans.

The Nurse is left to mourn Juliet twice, along with all the other Capulets-- First when Juliet feigns her own death, and later when the two young lovers are discovered in the Capulet tomb.

I tried my level best and c if it is helpful.

Read the third stanza of "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls."
Ksenya-84 [330]

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born on February 27, 1807 and died on March 24, 1882. He was an American poet and educator whose works include "Paul Revere's Ride", The Song of Hiawatha, and Evangeline. He was also the first American to translate Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and was one of the four Fireside Poets from New England.

“The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes a coastal scene. The tide rises, and the tide falls. Its twilight, a bird is calling, and a traveller is leaving the shore, heading for a near town. Now it's dark, the sea is shouting, and the waves erase the traveller's footprints from the shore. Despite this disconsolate perspective, the dawn does come again. There are signs of life everywhere. Horses are ready and raising to go; a hostler is calling out. Sure, the traveller will never return to the shore because he's dead, but the tide rises again, and then… well, the tide falls.

The statement that best describes the purpose of the word “nevermore” is:

C) The word helps create a more dramatic, resolute tone.
