English

Answer:

Madame loisel so badly wanted to be chased after and wanted. She

also wasn't happy in the non-wealthy family that she was born into

and that she married a non-wealthy man.

Explanation: At the beginning of the story "The Necklace," readers meet Mathilde Loisel: a "pretty and charming" girl who was not born with the wealth and distinction that – we're told – her personality and tastes require. She is married off to "a little clerk" husband and lives in a small house. All day long, she glares at her surroundings and day-dreams about the things she wishes she could have:

"vast saloons hung with antique silks, exquisite pieces of furniture supporting priceless ornaments, and small, charming, perfumed rooms, created just for little parties of intimate friends, men who were famous and sought after, whose homage roused every other woman's envious longings."

Clearly, the answer seems to be that Mathilde is discontent because she is poor and wants to be rich. That is absolutely true, but there is more to it than that. The wealth itself is not what is really alluring to Madam Loisel (though it certainly doesn't hurt). Instead, she is obsessed with the life she assumes goes along with such riches and distinctions. If you look back at the end of the above quote, you can see that, in Madam Loisel's mind, the beautiful items merely provide a setting for the thrilling parties full of jealousies and intrigue that she just knows all wealthy people have. She is discontent because she is a middle class woman of the 19th century. She doesn't have to do hard labor to survive, but she also doesn't have a full social calendar and disposable income. She is stuck at home, with nothing to do, no children to care for, no friends to see – it's no wonder she fantasizes about the wealthy life.

hope it helps u :)

In which excerpt from the passage “A Four-Hundred-Year-Old Woman” does the author express disapproval with her fellow writers?
horsena [70]
The answer is the first one.

In "Writers often disavow the notion of a 'literary duty'" the author conveys a somewhat condescending attitude, as if they would always follow this and set aside anyone who said otherwise. This attitude says the author is looking down on them, and that the author believes that many authors do not meet their standards.

Another answer I would consider is "...writers ruined by their shrill commitments." However, there is no context or clear tone. The author could be mournful of the lost potential for all we know.

Why is using slang inappropriate in a business setting?
kompoz [17]
Using slang is considered inappropriate in a business setting because slang displays a tone that is too casual. It is also considered unprofessional and shows a lack of respect for the recipient of the communication. Inappropriate communication can damage the relationships between your clients and your business. It is very important to be able to communicate in a professional, formal manner across all communication platforms from email to written communication to verbal communications. Good communication skills form the backbone of any business.

By Edgar Allan Poe
pantera1 [17]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>In the excerpt from "Annabel Lee," by Edgar Allan Poe, the speaker gives the impression to be a man in whom he is in love with Annabel Lee, and they seem to be deeply in love. However, his common sense is doubted when he claims the angels kill Annabel because they are jealous of her and when he expresses that he is lying on his lover's tomb. As a result of his insanity, the accuracy of the information in the poem is questioned, which makes him an unreliable narrator. Nevertheless, he details the story with such intensity and passion that different narrator would not have caused the same effect.</em>
