Answer and Explanation:

1. Because she is a woman far ahead of her time, presenting women in positions that were not stimulated in society and that could shock listeners. Her story is about female freedom, wisdom and even sexual freedom and that was not something advocated in women at the time.

2. The king's punishment is for the knight to be executed for having abused a maiden against her will.

3. The queen begs the king for mercy. The irony in this is that no one imagined that the queen would impose a task so that the knight would not be executed, as readers might think that she would intercede for the knight only because she was kind and not a strategist as she proved to be.

4. Bath's wife claims that having the power to dominate is what binds women to men, because by dominating their husbands, women are able to satisfy their desires and enjoy everything that gives them pleasure. What the old woman values most is the loyalty between the couple

True [87]

Answer:

I chose tyranny, enmity, eloquence, benevolent, and disheartened.

Explanation:

The noun "tyranny" refers to the cruel or unjust use of power by a person. It comes from the noun <em>tyrannos</em>, which means master. <em>Tyrannos</em> originated the noun <em>tyrannia</em> in both Greek and Latin, and <em>tyranie</em> in Old French, which, on its turn, originated "tyranny" as we use it nowadays. The noun "enmity" refers to a feeling of rivalry or conflict. We can trace it back to Old French as <em>enemite</em>, to Vulgar Latin before that, <em>inimicitatem</em>, and to Latin <em>inimicitia</em> before that. The noun "eloquence" means "fluent or persuasive way to speak or write". It comes from the Latin word <em>eloquentia</em>. <em>Eloquentia</em> can be traced back to <em>eloqui</em>, which would be the combination of <em>ex</em>- (out) and -<em>loqui</em> (to speak).

The adjective "benevolent" refers to someone who intends to do what is good, someone who wishes well to others. It comes from the Old French word <em>benivolent</em>, which comes from Latin <em>benevolentem</em>. Finally, the adjective "disheartened" comes from the verb "dishearten", which means "discourage, deject, depress the spirits of". It was first recorded in the 1590s and results from the combination of dis- (the opposite of) and -hearten.

Which sentence is the best use of passive voice
Bingel [31]

"Water is formed by two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen" is the passive voice statement.

Option (b);

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

A sentence can be written in both active voice and passive voice. The active voice explains the subject part of the sentence and in the passive voice the verb is highlighted instead of the subject. These passive voice are mostly not preferred in writing the sentences.

The options like first, third and fourth statement gives an unclear voice statement while the second option, explains the formation of the water molecule and outcomes on that formation. Thus it is revealed to be a passive voice statement.
