Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Am I addressing the White Queen?" "Well, yes, if you call that a-dressing," the Queen said. "It isn't MY notion of the thing, at all."

... "If your Majesty will only tell me the right way to begin, I'll do it as well as I can."

"But I don't want it done at all!" groaned the poor Queen. "I've been a-dressing myself for the last two hours."

It would have been all the better, as it seemed to Alice, if she had got some one else to dress her, she was so dreadfully untidy.

—Through the Looking Glass,

Lewis Carroll

When Alice uses "addressing," she means.

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

c. writing out envelopes

When the Queen says "a-dressing," she means

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

c. writing out envelopes

Answer:

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

Explanation:

The word "addressing" as used by Alice, means that she would like to know if she was speaking to the queen, that is, if she was referring, in her words, to the queen she wished to speak to at that moment. Carroll, uses that word to make a pun on the moment when the queen is trying to dress and look presentable, for this reason, the queen uses the word "a-dressing" where she shows that she is trying to dress appropriately.

Answer:

The King makes an acknowledgement of the distinction between “just and unjust” laws . He insists that everyone has a “legal” and “moral responsibility” to follow just laws, but that one equally “has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws”. He cites St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas to justify this latter claim.
