Answer:

In contrast to reading the scene, seeing the staged version of the scene would improve its aesthetic impact by allowing the audience to <em><u>watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.</u></em>

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's comedy play "The Importance of Being Ernest" revolves around the character of John Worthing and Algernon and the issue of class. The other themes in the play include marriage, social expectations, the ridiculousness or triviality of things deemed important, etc.

In the given excerpt from the play, we can see the scene where the two couples were 'showing affection' to their respective loves but then came Merriman and Lady Bracknell. It was then that the couples had to hurriedly stop their "public display of affection". And <em><u>in contrast to reading this scene, a staged or performed version would improve the aesthetic impact as it will allow the audience to see how the actors/ characters react, adding to the humor of the whole scene.</u></em>

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

The quote from the article that supports the claim about unfettered capitalism is: Like Harding, Coolidge proposed to roll back taxes of the wealthy one percent of Americans who controlled 40 percent of the country's wealth, and "assiduously followed the maxim that the government that governs the least, governs best."

<h3>What is Capitalism?</h3>

Capitalism is an economic system in which the wealth of a state is controlled by a few rich individuals instead of the government.

The first quote supports the claim that "Unfettered capitalism was to blame for the stock market crash" because it shows that just one percent of wealthy Americans controlled 40 percent of the nation's wealth.

How will the RUF tattoo effect those who have it at the end of the war?
sweet [91]

Answer:

The RUF tattoo showed that a person was a rebel (or belonged to the Revolutionary United Front (RUF)) during the Sierra Leone war.

So the person is marked out for persecution as a rebel.  The sign tells of affiliation with the Revolutionary United Front, a deadly militia during the war.

Explanation:

Ishmael Beah's "A Long Way Gone" book (2007) chronicled the most important war stories that brought Sierra Leone to its knees.  It showed that children under the age of 18 were forcibly recruited to fight a war of attrition in the West African nation during the 1990s.  The war devastated the country and its neighbors for more than a decade.  Many people were left without limbs after the war, as many other atrocities and war crimes were concurrently committed by various armies.

Which of the following is an example of internal conflict?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
You didn't add the examples. But internal conflict is when the main character has a conflict within themselves, inside themselves, against themselves. It's internal struggles, like depression, guilt, anger, other emotions. Choose the example that reflects that.
