Nagaina gathered herself together and flung out at him. Rikki-Tikki jumped up and backward. Again and again and again she struck

, and each time her head came with a whack on the matting of the verandah, and she gathered herself together like a watch spring. Then Rikki-Tikki danced in a circle to get behind her, and Nagaina spun round to keep her head to his head so that the rustle of her tail on the matting sounded like dry leaves blown along by the wind.
He had forgotten the egg. It still lay on the verandah, and Nagaina came nearer and nearer to it, till at last, while Rikki-Tikki was drawing breath, she caught it in her mouth, turned to the verandah steps, and flew like an arrow down the path, with Rikki-Tikki behind her. When the cobra runs for her life, she goes like a whip-lash flicked across a horse's neck.

How does the antagonist move the plot forward in this excerpt?

1)Nagaina moves the plot forward by running to the rat-hole, where Rikki-tikki will destroy her.
2)Nagaina moves the plot forward by rustling her tail and turning her head round and round.
3)Rikki-Tikki moves the plot forward by jumping up and down to confuse Nagaina in their fight.
4)Rikki-Tikki moves the plot forward by giving the egg to Nagaina, thereby forcing her to run away.

Answer:

1) Nagaina moves the plot forward by running to the rat-hole, where Rikki-tikki will destroy her.

Explanation:

2 and 3 are wrong, because they simply describe motions of the characters, and don't really do anything for the plot of the story.

4 is wrong, because Rikki doesn't give her the egg, she takes it.

Who says this: "What mean you, foolish girl? Dost thou deem it misery to be endowed with marvelous gifts, against which no power
Anika [276]

Answer:

Rappaccini said these lines.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Rappaccini's daughter" tells the story of a scientist Giacomo Rappaccini who selfishly kept his daughter Beatrice confined with him in his experimentation with poisonous plants. Along the way, she also became poisonous for other people, herself being immune to the poison of the plants.

Beatrice had began to love a young man named Giovanni, but is fatal for him. She wants to be with him but hadn't realized that he had also became just like her. The excerpt is from when Rappaccini asked her why she claimed to be miserable when she had been endowed with something that no one else has. He could not understand why Beatrice wants to be like a "<em>weak woman, exposed to all evil, and capable of none</em>". According to him, he had given her the greatest gift of being able to withstand any poison but can be destructive over others, whereas she wants to be like other women who can love openly and be like them.

Which fallacy does this argument contain? No scientist has been able to disprove the possible existence of aliens. Therefore, we
Anvisha [2.4K]
It should be argument from ignorance because an appeal to logic is not a fallacy, while begging the question is not always a fallacy. Bandwagonning is when you believe something because everyone else believes it.
