English

The best answer is included elements of mystery, superstition, symbolism, and the supernatural.

Gothic is the portrait of the power of darkness of doom. Gothic fiction attacks the institutions which might inhibit the freedom of the individual. Corruption, greediness, lust is always projected in aristocrats or priests. And all the symbols of authority, secular or ecclesiastic, are in ruins: monasteries, churches, abbeys, castles, mansions, towers, ramparts. The Gothic hero is a rebel and he challenges the rules and attacks institutions. He is, therefore, the enemy of heaven. Through the Gothic modes, the obsessive concerns of American life could find expression.

Which version of the sentence is most concise?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The lamprey has the ability to latch on and ultimately weaken its prey.

Explanation:

A concise statement is one that is not too wordy but is rather straightforward and retains the original meaning intended by the author. When sentences are too wordy, the real meaning being conveyed could be lost.

Concise statements are expressed in as few words are possible so as to retain the interest of the reader. This will also prevent the reader from skipping around in order to get the main point. With these in mind, the first option is the most concise statement.

What is an effect of Chaucer’s decision to use a pilgrimage as the central premise for The Canterbury Tales?
777dan777 [17]

Solution: The pilgrimage is a religious expedition. It has the following effects:

1. It sets the metaphor of a journey both physical and literary. A journey is generally a symbol of human curiosity and growth.  

2. A pilgrimage is not only for penance and grace but also a time when people abandon work and take a vacation. therefore it sets a 'carnivalesque'  setting. Celebrations are often used in literature for subversion of established social order.

3. A pilgrimage is taken by almost all types of people; therefore it provides apt setting where characters representing different social, political, cultural and economic backgrounds can come together. This way he could reveal more about the society he is criticizing.

This list is not exhaustive, more can be added to it.
