8 0

Answer:

Chillingworth wants revenge against Hester's lover.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter" revolves around the 'infidelity' and 'adultery' of Hester Prynne. And since this was a big moral as well as spiritual sin in the Puritan society where the story is set, Hester Prynne was convicted and tortured, humiliated, and made to wear a 'scarlet letter' on her chest.

Roger Chillingworth is the real husband of Hester but had arrived later than his wife. Once he discovered that his wife has had a child with an unknown man, he was adamant about finding out the secret lover. He disguises himself and went to the market place to view Hester and her daughter, Pearl, being paraded in the marketplace.  He uses his knowledge and tries to find out the 'secret lover' of Hester.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth or last option.

Explain what Percy’s prophecy really meant in the lighting thief
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

You shall go west, and face the god who has turned,

You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,

You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,

And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end.

Explanation:

The first line, refers that Percy needed to go west with his friends (Grover and Annabeth) to meet with Hades because the Olympians thought he was the one who stole the bolt. The second line, refers that Percy will find the master bolt hidden in a backpack and that he needed to give it back to Zeus. The third line, refers that Percy’s friend, Luke; who happened to help him in the beginning of the story; will betray him showing that he was the real thief of the master bolt and tried to kill Percy at the end of the story. The fourth and final line, refers that Percy couldn’t save his mother from the underworld with Hades because he didn’t have enough pearls for everyone to leave.

Do you speak English covert into indirect speech​
LuckyWell [14K]
He asked, do I speak English?
Explanation:
There are two types of speech in English grammar i.e. direct and indirect.
Indirect speech is the type of reported speech in which the main message of the speaker is conveyed without keeping the original order.
Direct speech is also known as quoted speech as that reports the words uttered in the original form.
In an indirect speech the words are not written in the order they were uttered by the original speaker.
Unlike indirect speech, direct speech is written with inverted commas.
The original speaker is mentioned in the sentence to report whose words are being written.
