Excerpt from A Defence of Skeletons

English

Answer:

C, He maintains that the fear of death and skeletons is irrational and should be conquered.

Explanation:

Here is what in the text makes me believe this.

  • "So he is <em>mysteriously</em> ashamed of the skeleton of himself in death." He finds it mysterious to why people are ashamed or afraid of skeletons.
  • "One would think it would be most unwise in a man to be afraid of a skeleton..." His reflection upon the fear of skeletons.
  • "A man might as well say that a factory chimney was typical of bankruptcy." I interpret this as making fun of the fear of skeletons.
  • "There is no reason why this creature... the living skeleton, should not become the essential symbol of life." I think he's proclaiming that skeletons deserve more credit.

Hopefully this helps. Sorry my response was so long. Good luck.

I’m pretty sure the answer would be B, it stated the claim that dogs are the most popular pet in the nation, and it goes on to state “for many reasons” which would lead into your body paragraph.

notsponge [240]

The answer is are. We're includes you, and you weren't eating the breakfast, so that cancels out. Is is used for 1 thing/person, so that can't be true, since it could be the cats, then it would be more than one.  It's not was, since if it was past tense, then it would be were, not was. So that only leaves are.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” When I woke, the sun was low. Looking down from where I lay, I saw a dog sitti
Wittaler [7]

The statement that best describes the primary conflict that the narrator experiences in this passage is the second one: "The conflict is character vs. nature, since the narrator encounters a dog that presents a danger to him".

In this excerpt, the narrator tells the reader that the dog, which looked like a big wolf, was a menace to him. <u>This is made even clearer in the sentence "He was not afraid of me; he looked at me as if I were meat"</u>. John, the main character of "By the Waters of Babylon", is forced to deal with the man vs. nature conflict several times throughout the story. <u>During his journey to the Place of the Gods, he protects himself from predators that are part of nature on different occasions</u>.
