Answer:
When running an important cross country race, Jenny prefers to wear <em><u>these</u></em> sneakers instead of <em><u>those</u></em> sneakers."
Explanation:
Considering the structure of the sentence and the blanks available in the sentence, it is easy to imply that the correct words for the blanks are "these, those". This makes the new and full sentence as <em>"when running an important cross country race, Jenny prefers to wear these sneakers instead of those sneakers."</em>
Considering the other options and placing them in the blanks doesn't make or produce a meaningful and correct sentence. So, the only correct option answer is to use <u>option D</u>.
<span>After the plague was over, times were tough for the Catholic Church. Remember, in medieval times, the Church wielded incredible political power over the lives of many people whether they were kings or peasants.

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>
