Answer: energetic

Explanation:

Agile means for someone to have the ability to move easily and be energetic. It means having an adaptable and resourceful character. The antonyms of agile are slow clumsy and stiff.

Therefore, the sentence "The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent" can be written as "The energetic youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent".

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Why couldn`t Shakespeare`s sister get training in acting
ioda
Well, I know that back then, girls were not allowed to act on stage. They were people who simply helped in the background, with costumes and makeup. Young boys played the roles of women in plays at that time.
Hope this helps!
Stay smart,

What is the historical context of "Fall of the House of Usher" and how does the story reflect this context?
laila [671]
<span>The “fall of the House of Usher” was written by Edgar Allan Poe and published in 1839 in a magazine. At that time, his kind of literature was not popular, the Gothic movement started in England and it was brought to America by him. In America, the literature style was more moralistic so his stories were thought to cause an emotional effect. He introduced the idea of short stories, he argued that a story was meant to be read at one sitting. </span>

Review the paragraph that begins at the bottom
V125BC [204]

The sentence that suggests the narrator does not closely monitor Bar.tleby's performance after hiring him is given below.

<h3>What is the evidence that the lawyer didn't do thorough background checks on Bar.tleby?</h3>

The textual evidence is as follows;

"The Lawyer asks him: "What earthly right have you to stay here? Do you pay any rent? Do you pay any taxes? Or is this property yours?"

Bar.tleby makes no response, and the Lawyer becomes resigned to the idea that Bar.tleby will simply haunt his office, doing nothing.

The Lawyer believes he is doing a good, Christian thing by allowing Bar.tleby to continue existing in his office."

<h3>Who is Bar.tleby?</h3>

From the text "Bar.tleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street", Bar.tleby is an old scrivener at The Lawyer's office, Turkey. He is cheerful and productive until midday, when he gets dru.nk, grumpy, and basically worth.less.

We never discover his full name since The Lawyer only refers to him by his nickname. A twelve-year-old assistant in the legal office.

Analyze the use of fallacies in the opening scene of thank you for smoking
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A fallacy can best be defined as a false or a mistaken idea, or the use of faulty reasoning. "Thank you for smoking" movie, has some fallacies in it i will be discussing below.

Explanation:

The first fallacy i noticed in "Thank you for smoking" is when  Nick Naylor's son's mother's boyfriend tells Nick "I hope you are providing Joey with a smoke-free environment." and Nick replies "I'm his father, you're just the guy_his mother." This is a negative statement as Nick attacked Polly's boyfriend personally because He is not the real parent of Joey, which is a good example of Ad Hominem.

This film is a dark comedy. Nick Naylor who is a successful lobbyist, has sense of logos in his arguments and this logos is centered primarily on logical fallacies
