Ok, so the passage and answer choices that I'm pretty sure correspond with this question is:

"For a long time, I refused to forgive Philippe for what he had said. I held on to my unforgiveness in the hopes that by drinking this poison I might kill my enemy. But soon it was my insides that were burning."

A. It illustrates unforgiveness as a poison to show how it can be administered incorrectly.

B. It compares unforgiveness as a poison to show that it hurts the offended more than the offender.

C. It likens enemies to poison to show that sometimes we don't know we've been harmed until it's too late.

D. It makes Philippe seem like poison to show how he damaged the speaker's inner being.

The two components of a solution are solute and solvent. Which statement describes the solvent? A.it is liquid form in the solut

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The statement which describes the solvent is:

D. It is the component of solution in bigger quantity.

Explanation:

The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solution. The solvent, on the other hand, is the substance doing the dissolving. Once the solute is dissolved, it breaks down into individual particles, which makes it impossible to distinguish it from the solvent. The solvent is most commonly used in larger quantity than the solute. A simple example we can think of is when we make jello. We need to use a bigger quantity of water than of the jello powder. Water is the solvent, the powder is the solute.

How did literature and the arts reflect

zhannawk [14.2K]

The relationship between literature and history is as old as the written word. Ancient writings influenced the formation of society and how people viewed their communities, if not their reality. Literature continues to reflect history, as history is seen in the mirror provided by literature books.

During the Harlem Renaissance, the works of Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen gave African Americans a voice. The works of Gertrude Stein and Willa Cather, along with others, removed some of the gender stereotypes that were prevalent at the time. John Steinbeck and F. Scott Fitzgerald were among the authors whose writings pointed out the gulf between what society had to do and what not to do. Today, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech continues to inspire many.

Shakespeare portrays Hamlet as a man who falls from a high status, which makes Hamlet an example of a(n)

Molodets [167]

This makes Hamlet a tragic hero.
Tragic heroes are those people who used to have it all, but due to particular circumstances (or sometimes even their own fault), they lose it all, and usually die at the end of the play. This is what happened to Hamlet - while his father was alive, he was a prince who lacked for nothing. However, when the King got murdered, it went spiraling down for Hamlet.

IK THIS IS REALLY Long But PLZ HELP ME!!!!

C) No

A can be removed because it is not talking about politics like the question asked. B can be removed because the essay does not speak of politics. I decide to remove D because after reading it, the text does not mention how newspapers develop over time. Instead, it talks about how newspapers were made and how throughout different areas. This leads to answer choice C, which truthfully claims that the author focuses on the technology (in this case, it simply means tools or items) used to make different types of newspapers.

Hopefully, this helped. if you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask !
