ohaa [14]3 years ago
7 0

In her opening lines, Wheatly writes about the political appointment of William Legge, the earl of Dartmouth. She expresses the joy that New England felt about this event, for since the earl is friends with the countess of Huntingdon, who <em>supported the abolishment of slavery</em>, Wheatley hoped the earl would also be an abolitionist.

   Slang, when used as a noun, refers to nonstandard terms or nonstandard usage of standard terms. Slang provides different symbols from which communication messages can be constructed. Slang is more than a noun though. Slang is a process. This means slang is also a verb. We slang as well as speak slang. The process of slanging involves the creation and use of slang. In everyday life, slang reflects the experiences, beliefs, and values of its speakers. Every new generation and subculture has a different vocabulary of slang words. As we slowly come out of adolescence we fade away from the use of slang. Items that we frequently encounter or are important to us are often given slang symbols. There are many terms to say something is good or bad and to evaluate people positively or negatively. Today, slang is also descriptive and contains many symbols for food or eating, money, effective or ineffective performance, relationships, intoxication, and places.
<span>             Why do young adults speak slang? There is one simple reason. It's cool! Slang is cool in the sense of being in style. When we speak, we are communicating not only a message of what we are saying but also a message about who we believe we are, our identity. It is a type of performance and shows that the speaker is in tune with the times. A second reason for why slang is so cool is it lets us have a sense of being acceptable. People don't slang all of the time. Rather, the use of slang is reserved for circumstances that accept the use of slang. Usually, slang is used in informal environments and avoided in formal settings. This is because it could result in the person being judged negatively. </span>

Is suppressing a cry of pain showing exuberance or stoicism?why
Mashcka [7]
"exuberance" means enthusiasm or showing a lot of energy. if someone holds back a cry of pain, that doesn't really make them seem energetic or excited. from that alone, you can infer that "stoicism" is your answer, but that word relates to a pointed lack of emotion, like when someone doesn't want to lose face or show that they're in pain.

inna [77]
The correct answer is D. <span>The chorus comments on the action of the play and clarifies the situation to the audience.
A is incorrect because the chorus isn't one of the characters in the play - other characters cannot see them because the chorus exists only for the readers/watchers of the play. B is incorrect for the same reason. C is incorrect because the opposite is true - the chorus is there to help the audience understand what is going on in the play.
