Answer:
Paradox
Explanation:
To see two old friends whom I scarcely knew at all, and also driving over to east egg are absurd or contradictory statements which characterise paradox
The gerund phrases are:
- "Being the accounts manager" (Subject)
- "blowing bubbles to his little sister" (Subjet Complement)
Gerund phrases begin with a gerund or -ing word, and include other modifiers and objects. They function as nouns, and can be the subject, subject complement or direct object of the sentence.
The rest of the alternatives are not gerund phrases because options one and three possess an infinitive verb ("to bring" and "to win"), and "Hiking for two hours" is a present participle clause.
Answer:
I learned in my english and biology class that their are no 2 people in the world who are exactly the same. There is always something that makes someone unique, whether it is in their physical appearance or personality. There are different types of people, we see and do things differently, and we aim for different prizes. What matters to me might not matter to you, what is important to you might be irrelevant to me. People have different point of views, just like people have different goals in life. Regarding the nation, I have a dream that one day people will realize the importance of little acts of kindness and be less judgemental to other people. Lets face the truth, were not perfect but we can try, and it can have a huge impact on the future generations and the world.
Hope this helps:)

Answer:
The common theme of poem 'Invictus' and play 'The Crucible' is fate and resilience.
Explanation:
"Invictus" is a poem written by William Ernest Henley. The poem is about the suffering or pains that the poet went through when he suffered from a bout with tuberculosis. The poem speaks about the times when a person goes through a dark and trying time and the ability of humans to overcome it. The main message of the poem or the theme is that human can control their fate through resilience.
This theme is evident in the last lines of the poem when the poet says that he is the master of his fate and his soul.
<em>"I am the master of my fate, </em>
<em>I am the captain of my soul."</em>
<em />
<em>"My head is bloody, but unbowed."</em>
<em />
"The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller based on the true incidents of the Salem witch trials. The theme of fate and resilience can also be seen this play in the last scene of the play, when Proctor decided to control his fate. In the last scene of the play, Proctor refuses to sign his name on the paper and be hung on the wall of the church. He decided not to sign, because he knew he was innocent, not in the sight of men but in God. He knew that there is a greater Judgment than this is coming, which will prove his innocence. Thus he takes control of his fate by choosing to be hunged than be shamed and lose his name.
<em>"PROCTOR: Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life. Because
</em>
<em>I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name?
</em>
<em>I have given you my soul, leave me my name!"</em>
<em />
<em>"PROCTOR: (Crossing slowly to Elizabeth, takes her hand for a moment.) Pray God it speak some goodness for me."</em>
