Answer:

The two statements which describe the main themes of the story are:

A. The freedom to express oneself is valued by many, but some people discourage it and fear its consequences.

D. Creativity and creation can bring great joy.

Explanation:

"Daughter of Invention" is a short story by J.ulia Alvarez. The narrator is a girl who has been chosen to give a speech in front of her teachers and classmates. The creation of the speech brings her great joy. She fills inspired, energized by the words she has chosen and the message she is going to convey. She speaks of independence, of students surpassing their masters.

Her father, upon reading the speech, has an extreme reaction. He tears it to pieces and tells her she is being insubordinate. The narrator's father has lived through a dictatorship. He knows very well the consequences of speaking one's mind - he has lost loved ones because of that. Thus, he discourages freedom of speech, afraid of the consequences it may bring.

Note: I had to type J.ulia with a period because otherwise Brainly won't let me post this answer. For some reason, certain words are interpreted as curse words or as links.

What is the central idea of putting good deeds in headlines may not be so good
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Reporting on good deeds may change society’s expectations about performing them.

Explanation:

"Putting Good Deeds in Headlines May Not Be So Good" is an article written by Tovia Smith. In his report, Smith says that when good deeds are publicized, one dimishes the value of being good or doing good deeds. While interviewing an expert, the expert said to Smith that when the good deeds, which should be an ordinary norm, is portrayed as extraordinary, it brings moral inflation. Performing good deeds should not be made an extraordinary thing as it poses the danger of creating expectations of not doing good.

People should perform good deeds as a normal standard, as a human being, and not to get a celebrity treatment.

Thus, the central idea of the article is that reporting about good deeds pose the threat of changing society's view on performing them as well.

What does Hamlet mean by "shuffled off this mortal coil"? dying living dreaming sleeping
Alina [70]

Answer:

A). Dying.

Explanation:

The phrase 'shuffled off this mortal coil' was uttered by Hamlet during his popular soliloquy 'To be or not to be.' It stands for 'dying or to die' as a result of the sufferings or troubles of this mortal life and this constant state of being in conflict. When Hamlet says this phrase, he is tired of the regular 'turmoils of his mortal life' and thus, he wishes to 'die.' Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
