I believe the correct answer is: “…the two pilgrims successfully resist Flatterer, who tries to trap them with a net, and Atheist, who tries to convince them that the Celestial City does not exist.”
In this excerpt from “Pilgrim's Progress” (1678), a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan, specific characters that serve as an allegory for distractions that one must resist to live a life of faith are Flatterer and Atheist which try to divert tempt Christian and Hopeful from the proper path. Therefore, the quotation that best develops this idea is:
“…the two pilgrims successfully resist Flatterer, who tries to trap them with a net, and Atheist, who tries to convince them that the Celestial City does not exist.”
P.S. Note that if it wasn't plural, the main distraction would be Apollyon, a form of Satan, as the Satan was tempting Christ the most in the desert.
Answer:
- They have unappealing connotations, which helps the speaker use a mocking tone to insult death by saying he is usually found in unappealing places.
Explanation:
Word-choice play a vital role in the conveying the intended meaning and message of the audience.
As per the question, the response i.e. 'They have unappealing connotations, which helps the speaker use a mocking tone to insult death by saying he is usually found in unappealing places' most evidently elaborates the influence of the words 'poyson, warre, and sicknesse.' The author conveys an unpleasant implication through these words that assists him to adopt a mocking attitude which maligns death('slave to fate') by asserting that it is generally found in dreary locations and places.
Answer:
The author develops the theme of shame and guilt through the economic condition of Gregor's family.
Explanation:
Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about "Metamorphosis."
In "Metamorphosis" we are introduced to Gregor Sansa who one day wakes up transformed into a giant insect. Gregor cannot work in this state, as he can barely stand.
Gregor lives with his parents, his sister and his wife and is the only one who works, being the person responsible for the family's economy. However, when Gregor becomes an insect, he is no longer able to supply the family's economic needs, besides needing their constant help. In this scenario, the author develops the theme of shame, since Gregor feels a burden, and develops the theme of guilt, since Gregor feels guilty that the family is in need.
