descant 28 to reflect, brood, or mull over to make a comment or to discuss at length The contextual meaning and dictionary definition differ from one another; from the context, the word seems to mean "to mull over something," but it actually means "to make a comment."

tendering 48 looking after  to treat with tender regard The contextual meaning is “to look after,” while the dictionary definition more specifically means “to treat with tender regard.”

hearkens 59 to listen  to give respectful attention or to listen respectfully The dictionary definition is more specific than the contextual meaning.

tempers 70 to rile up or provoke to exercise control over or to make something less severe The contextual meaning seems to be "to provoke" or "to rile up," but the dictionary definition is “to control.”

suppliant 79 a request a person who asks for something in a respectful way from someone more powerful The contextual meaning is “a request,” but the dictionary definition refers a person making a request.

livery 85 clothes a uniform worn by servants  The dictionary definition is more precise than the contextual meaning.

beseech 89 to ask or beg to urgently ask someone to do or provide something The dictionary definition is more precise than the contextual definition.

enfranchise 115 to free to set free; liberate The contextual meaning is quite similar to the dictionary definition.

How do you spend your freetime?<br>100words​
SpyIntel [72]

I spend my free time watching televison, reading a book, sitting outside, or hanging out with friends, or family. I love reading books and even daydreaming works when I have freetime. I do any cleaning, or chores that need to be done, And I like to go sit outside and relax often, aswell. I like to do any work from school too. But often times I'll be on my phone for a bit then I'll go and read a book, or watch television. And sometimes I even just lay down and daydream about stuff. And sometimes I just go get a snack and finish whatever I was doing, if i have little time.

I made that up so I don't know if its bad, But it has 113 words in it! <3 :3

At the end of the selection, the author says that King Arthur gets on a barge and goes "into the Vale of Avalon." What is really
inessss [21]

Answer:

This scene reports Arthur's death and his departure from the world of the living.

Explanation:

This question is related to the novel "Le Morte d'Arthur". In the scene where Arhtur gets on the barge and goes to "the valley of Avalon" we can see that he is saying goodbye to his companions and saying that he will never see them again, but that it is necessary that they pray for his soul. This means that Arthur died, will leave his corporeal state and will be formed only of soul, because he will leave the world of the living. Your soul, however, is not as strong as your body and therefore will need the prayers of your friends.

We can interpret this through the excerpt:

<em>"Comfort thyself, said the king, and do as well as thou mayst, for in me is no trust for to trust in; for I will into the vale of Avalon to heal me of my grievous wound: and if thou hear never more of me, pray for my soul. "</em>

guajiro [1.7K]
<span>The speaker retells a story from Greek mythology, the rape of the girl Leda by the god Zeus, who had assumed the form of a swan.
