Dubious

English

Answer:

Kathy was <em><u>ecstatic</u></em> as she told me that she had <em><u>encounter(e)d</u></em> the "perfect man", as she called him. She insisted he didn't have a single defect. But I was <em><u>dubious</u></em> right from the start. Contrary to Kathy's view, my own opinion is that "perfection" is a(n) <em><u>fallacy</u></em>  - I've never met anyone who was perfect. I must admit that because of my own bad luck in dating I am <em><u>liable</u></em> to be more of a <em><u>pessimist</u></em> than most on this subject. I dated one guy who was so <u><em>miserly</em></u> that when we went to the movies, we had to stay in the theater after the film had ended so he could supplement his income - by searching under the seats for dropped coins. Another was addicted to sausages. He ate sausages for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. His strange eating habits alienated me and our relationship quickly <em><u>evolv(e)d</u></em> from bad to "wurst". Then there were all those fellows who couldn't quite tell the truth. They disclosed so many <em><u>fictitious</u></em> details about their lives that they should have been novelists. To cite a few examples, they told me they were in college (they weren't), they had jobs (they didn't), and they had gotten perfect scores in their SATs (they hadn't). So you can see why I'm apprehensive about encouraging Kathy, who is so <em><u>gullible</u></em> that she believes everything anyone says. I can't wait to meet Mr. Perfect. He's probably a liar or a lunatic. And I'm not sure which is worse.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the words that will correctly be used in the blanks are as follows-

1. Ecstatic which means happy, excited, or feeling wonderful.

2. Encountered which means coming across, meeting, or seeing.

3. Dubious which means uncertain, doubtful, suspicious, etc.

4. Fallacy which suggests something that is logically incorrect or doubtful, invalid.

5. Liable meaning more inclined, prone to lean to one particular thinking or opinion.

6. Pessimist is someone who is always negative, always thinks of the worst instead of hoping for something good.

7. Miserly is one who is stingy, reluctant to spend even on necessary things.

8. Evolved means to develop, to grow or progress, or to change.

9. Fictitious is something that is not true, real.

10. Gullible which means easy to influence, easily.

O, he sits high in all the people’s hearts,
Elden [556K]

Answer:

These lines are spoken by Casca.

The lines are about Brutus.

The lines mean that whatever bad plans that Cassius and Casca had planned can be turned to their advantage by Brutus in front of the people. Even though the people will get mad and angry after the death of Caesar, Brutus can turn them to their side, like an alchemist can turn anything into gold.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the story of how Julius Caesar was murdered by his trusted aides. Moreover, the future of Rome was left at the hands of numerous 'hopefuls' like Cassius and Brutus and Antony and Octavius on the other, fighting to get the power to rule over Rome.

The given lines are taken from Act I scene iii of the play, spoken by Casca. The lines refer to Brutus, who, according to Casca, is capable of turning the people's hatred into love, acceptable even if it is the worse of all things.

Cassius and Casca were planning to get rid of Caesar and wanted to rope in Brutus, which Cassius reveals <em>"Three parts of him Is ours already"</em>. And the things that they planned, however brutal it may be, can be turned around in the people's mindsets by Brutus alone. Like Casca states,

<em>"that which would appear offense in us, </em>

<em>His countenance, like richest alchemy </em>

<em>Will change to virtue and to worthiness". </em>
