Answer:In the first quatrain, the speaker simply exclaims the comparison, painting a picture of the winter: “How like a winter hath my absence been / From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! / What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
Explanation:
Answer:
A. weak : frail
Explanation:
"weak" and "frail" are the best option among the words listed in the question.
"Thin" and "gaunt" refer to they physical appearance of a person, who looks "frail" or "weak". The words "weak" or "frail" having more of a figurative meaning, that is still similar to "thin" or "gaunt".
The question is incomplete and the complete form of the question is as expressed below.
A worker can clean a pool in four hours less time than it takes another worker. If men work together, the job takes 8/3 hours. How long would it take the slower man working alone?
<h3>What is the hour(s) that will take the slower man?</h3>
Taking x to be the hour(s) for the slower man and (x-4) be the number of hours for the faster man working separately. Thus,
1/x+1/(x-4)=1/8/3
1/x+1/(x-4)=3/8
[(x-4)+x]=(x)(x-4)(3/8)
2x-4=(x^2–4x)(3/8)
16x-32=3x^2–12x
3x^2–28x+32=0
<h3>Factorisation</h3>
Factorise to solve the value of x:
There are 2 values of x for the factors: (3x-4)(x-8) =0
- 3x - 4 =0; 3x= 4; x = 4/3 or 1 1/3 hours (invalid due to the fact that it fits not for the slower man who will work alone for 4 hours slower than the faster man as it is only 4/3 hours which is lesser than 4 hours.
- x - 8 = 0; x = 8 hours (answer to be adopted because it is fit for the slower man to do the job separately for 4 hours lesser than the faster man.
Verify:
1/8 + 1/(8–4) = 1/8/3 =3/8
1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8
(1+2)/8 = 3/8
3/8 = 3/8
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 8 hours for the slower man to work alone.

1. The most ironic thing about Van der Vyver's reaction to the death of the young black boy is his emotional breakdown and tears after telling what happened.
2. The sentence that best explains the irony implied by the above sentence is the third choice.
