Answer:
A. The fickle nature of justice and the desire for control over others.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" revolves around the story of Prospero and his daughter 'exiled' to an island and forcibly removed from his dukedom. The story delves into the themes of power dynamics, the struggle for authority, love, enslavement, and class structure.
After his dukedom was taken by his brother, Prospero exhibited the need to have power over others by enslaving Caliban and Ariel through manipulation, deception, and charm. This shows how human is so desirous of having some form of control over others and the fickleness of what is just.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Question 1:
Humorous passage 1: "It (the umbrella) was made to be carried on the arm like an enormous ornamental bat and to allow one the opportunity to put on British airs as the atmospheric conditions demanded."
Humorous passage 2: "(The umbrella is) An item to be carried in the street, to be used to startle friends and—in the worst of cases—to fend off one’s creditors."
Question 2:
Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.
Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.
In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.
Answer:
The correct answer is: NO CHANGE.
Explanation:
Between March and November of 2011, an anonymous donor left <u>intricately </u>crafted paper sculptures at various cultural institutions in Edinburgh, Scotland.
In the first passage, the underlined word is <em>intricately</em>. Offered choices are 1. no change, 2. impressively, 3. terrifically, and 4. superbly. As none of these words can substitute the word <em>intricately</em>, the correct answer will be no change.
Impressively means in an impressive manner; imposingly.
Terrifically means great and intense; or which causes extreme terror.
Superbly means excellently, wonderfully, marvelously, splendidly.
Intricately means finely detailed, often in a careful but complicated way.
Therefore, the correct answer will be no change.
