In experimental physics, reverberation produces echo and thus makes undesirable sound. An echo is a sound reflected off of a surface. In a big hall, it interferes with the actual sound. It gives confusion when people are having a conversation.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Due to the unfavourable conditions peasants are exposed to, they easily grasp the harsh realities of life such as death. Also, in their community they learned to care for one another because they have one another's back, unlike the bourgeoisie/ educated elites who only care about themselves and keeping to their social levels. For such people around Ivan, his illness and impending death has become bothersome, and he realized the superficiality of that society.
Paragraph 31
''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt quite feverish.''
Answer: To show how people are taking themselves too seriously although they are the same as others
Explanation:
In this paragraph, we can the main situation in ''The Nose'' by Nikolai Gogol and that is Kovalyov's nose loss which is showing a lot of irony and grotesque. He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.
- With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.
This story is surreal but it is shown in the most realistic and detailed way.
caused embarrassment - The word mortify means to cause someone to feel embarrassed or humiliated. So when Janis found out that her brother had read her diary, she felt embarrassed, or rather, she felt like her brother's actions were purposely intended to make her feel embarrassed and ashamed. The word mortify is derived from the latin word mortificare, meaning to put to death. In most contexts it signifies making someone to want to die of embarassment.
