Select the best answer to the question: What is an example of a fortuitous event? *

English
1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Running into an old friend who is in town for one day.

Explanation:

The term "fortuitous" refers to a chance occurrence, a surprising and unexpected event that happened, a fortunate event. This word is used to talk about things that happened unplanned and completely unexpected.

A fortuitous event means an event that happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that it leaves you shocked and completely unforeseen. Such an event is wholly unexpected and surprising. So,<u> running into an old friend who's in town for a single day is a fortuitous event</u>, for it is a chance encounter and not something that happens often or even planned.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

givi [52]
The following sentence is a run-on: The Merchant of Venice is an interesting play it is about a young man named Bassanio, who falls in love with wealthy girl, Portia.

It should be re-written the following way:
The Merchant of Venice is an interesting play. It is about a young man named Bassanio, who falls in love with wealthy girl, Portia. 

The sentence is two sentences fused together as one, which makes it a run-on and also difficult to read. When the proper punctuation is used the sentence is no longer a run-on and is then easier to comprehend.

What is a potential problem in reducing the Commandments to “Four legs good, two legs bad”?
Ann [662]
Hey there!

I assume we're talking about Animal Farm.

First of all, this statement alludes to the fact that they're trying to say that animals are good, and humans are bad- because that's the main idea in most parts of the book. The animals have risen up and created their own rules for the farm in the wake of the human oppression previously not occurring and brought to life by the speech of Old Major. There are two main problems:

First of all, the whole farm runs on animals - however, pigs remain sovereign. The problem is, although most animals do have four legs, some animals, like swans, birds, and chickens, don't. That means they're left out and perhaps their contribution to the farm can be lost as a result of the fact that their physical anatomy betrays the ideals of the Commandments.

Secondly, we discussed before how this leaves out humans. However, they need humans- especially for the windmill at the beginning. If you remember, Napoleon actually had to make deals with some, and those proved to be very beneficial. This pretty much means that Napoleon is trying to dictate the beliefs of the beings he rules, but breaks and bends his own rules when he wants. After all, he became the leader after a revolution on the farm and uses his attack dogs in place of military force. Sound familiar? Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin, and most other characters represent people from history. One of the main points of this book is looking at it from another perspective. The animals mean something, it's more a book about the actions of people.

Hope this helps!
