Answer:
She feels partially responsible for John's affair because she feels she wasn't worthy of his love.
Explanation:
The given question refers to <em>The Crucible</em>, a play written by Arthur Miller. In this play, Miller dramatized and fictionalized the story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692 and 1693.
The given quote is from the fourth act of the play. John Proctor stands accused of practicing witchcraft, compromised by his relationship with Abigail, with whom he had an affair. His wife, Elizabeth, is sharing her true feelings with him about the affair. Because of it, their relationship grew cold, but here, she confesses that she feels partially responsible for it. Their relationship wasn't filled with any passion, and she realizes why he sought passion outside of it. She feels unworthy of his love, describing her detachment from her husband as <em>keeping a cold house</em>.
This is why the last option is the correct one.
Answer:
The topic of gender is explored in two general ways in the novel. First, the novel shows the success of a nearly exclusively female world. Taylor lives in a small community of women who for the most part live their lives independently of men. The women in this community strengthen one another. Once she begins to share her life with Taylor, Lou Ann stops disregarding her appearance, finds a job, and forgets her irresponsible husband. Taylor, the once-invulnerable spirit, finds the energy to fight for Turtle only after weeks of Lou Ann’s prodding and a long talk with Mattie. The women are remarkably loyal to one another. When she sees Esperanza’s tearful catharsis, Taylor realizes that if Esperanza asked for Turtle, Taylor would give Turtle to her. Esperanza’s loyalty to Taylor is equally strong, for although Turtle is one of the only things that gives Esperanza joy, Esperanza does not ask Taylor to give up Turtle.
Second, the novel portrays gender inequality as a societal phenomenon instead of as a series of individual grievances. When Taylor first sees Turtle’s body, she says that the burden of being born a woman had already affected the little girl. This comment immediately suggests that Kingsolver does not mean for us to think of Turtle as an individual but as representative of women in general, all of whom face difficulties because of their gender. Women suffer because they are women. Men touch and prod Lou Ann when she takes the bus, and the strip joint with its lewd paintings offends her. Esperanza seems to have had fewer educational and occupational opportunities in Guatemala that her husband did. While Estevan can speak perfect English, she is isolated in her depression, unable to express her grief fluently.

Answer:
<em>Lord Buddha was born in </em><em>623 B.C.</em>
Explanation:
Siddhartha Gautama, widely known as Lord Buddha (buddha is not a name, but a title, and it means <em>the one who is awake</em>), was born in 623 B.C. in Lumbini, Nepal (which became a sacred place where believers come to pilgrimage). He was a philosopher, meditator, leader of a religious movement, but before all of that, he was a prince from a noble family who decided to explore the world, religion, and reality itself. He preached that one can reach peace through mental discipline - meditation, and he spent his life in an attempt to teach people how to achieve inner peace or enlightenment.
