Answer:
B. The death of Caesar
Explanation:
“Beware the ides of March," from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Julius Caesar" is one of the most famous examples of a phrase foreshadowing an event.
In Act I, Scene ii, the soothsayer warns Caesar to “beware the Ides of March!” which foreshadows Caesar's assassination on 15th March. The Elizabethan audience of Shakespeare's age would like have known that Caesar was assassinated on 15th March 44 B.C. So this phrase served the purpose of foreshadowing for them. The phrase appears again in Act III, scene i on 15th March, when Caesar tells the soothsayer that see ides of March has come, and the soothsayer warns again, that it is not gone yet.
In the Roman calendar the ides of March corresponded to 15th March. It was an important day for Roman for several religious observances and for settling the debts.
Answer:
The author's purpose for "The Challenge" is to "entertain" readers.
Explanation:
When writing a story, the author sets his/her purpose of either<em> entertaining, persuading or informing readers. </em>"The Challenge" is an example of a story that entertains because it tries to capture the<u> attention of the readers</u> in the character of Jose. Jose wanted to get<em> Estela's attention</em>, thus, he challenged her to a racket ball game.
Unknowingly, Estela beat Jose in the game. <em>This keeps the readers wanting to know more on what's going to happen next. </em>If the reader is a boy, he may pretend to be Jose while if the reader is a girl, she may pretend to be Estela. Since such events are <em>possible to happen in the life of the readers</em>, it can then be classified as entertaining.
So, this explains the answer.
Macduff. He<span> kills and beheads him.</span>
Answer:
The president once again proved how eloquent he was during his well-delivered State of the Union speech.
Explanation:
The words "well-delivered" imply that it was a good speech. Therefore, repulsive and impious wouldn't fit this sentence because impious means a person who's wicked and repulsive means evoking disgust. That leaves us with eloquent and consolatory. Now, eloquent meaning states "fluent or persuasive in speaking or writing." while consolatory is "making or intended to make someone who is sad or disappointed feel better." I concluded my answer from this.
I hope this helps:)
