I don't know which passage you are referring to, but if these are the options: <span>A.Women are not given opportunities to put their skills to good use. B.Living and working in the Salinas Valley is too easy. C.Difficult times call for difficult measures. D.Loneliness leads to unwise choices.

The answer is probably A.

In this short story, the main character Elisa is a woman who has a creative potential, as well as strength and persistence, but she never gets a chance to put them to good use. She craves an opportunity to realize her potential, but there is none. All she ever does are chores and housework, so she invests all her creativity into nurturing her chrysanthemums. The stranger is quite an intriguing figure for her - if nothing else, because he is different from her husband. He inspires her.

One might also think that D is the right choice. But I don't believe so. This is not a moralistic story. The author doesn't reprimand Elisa for giving a little bit of her affection to the stranger. He understands her behavior.</span>

Identify the suffix to which each rule applies.
Stells [14]

Answer:

Group I. If the root is a full word, the ending is usually -able.

Group II. When the root is a full word except for a final e, the forms usually are spelled with -able and drop the finale.

Group III. The suffix -able always follows the letter i. Thus, if you follow our English custom of changing y to i in these words, you will add -able.

Group IV. When the root has other forms built on the letter a, the -able form is used.

Group V. When the root ends in hard c orhard g, -able is used. The suffix -able is the only possible ending after hard c or g, in order to keep the proper pronunciation.

Group VI. When the root is not a full word, -ible is used.

Group VII. When the word has an immediate -tion form, -ible is used.

Group VIII. When the root ends in ns, miss, or soft c or g, -ible is used.

How is the witches powers limited in macbeth
Roman55 [17]

the withces represent the evil in men. Their prophecies just activate what is already present in men's souls and hearts. For example, the witches tell Macbeth he will become king. This becomes true since Macbeth wants to believe in this prophesy and commits any crime to fullfil his dream. The power of the witches are limited because the nature of the human being make things happen, not the witches . Human nature puts limits on the witches' powe

An essay on the day I'll never forget<br>​
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The clouds stretched across the sky and they looked so fake yet somehow they were real. That day, I wasn't feeling anything in particular perhaps, I was having mood swings. The darkness tends to cause some sort of sadness within myself and today there was no sun. No sun, just clouds that stretched all the way to China and back. They made me feel like a little person but I remembered that, <em>it's a small world</em>. Nobody was thinking of me at that moment yet I wasn't thinking about anyone either. I felt common, not rare, just common. It seemed that nothing I could do would ever make a change in this world we call home. A song was replaying in my head the lyrics waning in crescendo, "Roses are red, violets are blue, my heart is dead, i'm such a fool." What more could I need to feel so lost within my thoughts than being alone with them. I looked up at the roof which extended far, almost too far reminding me of why I chose to live in a mansion. Well, actually I'm not sure why I chose to live in a mansion by myself. As I thought to myself, I only conjured sad thoughts. I felt like crying but only then I would be feeling bad for myself. <em>Rich people aren't supposed to be sad? Not like this aren't they? </em>I wanted to believe that, be like them, everybody else but it was something that I couldn't be. Rich was just a word but It can't describe how I felt. It just described who I was in an aspect of wealth. All alone, I sat in my chair rocking back and forth looking through the isolated and strangely large circular window. Clouds among clouds among more clouds stretching a seemingly endless route. I wish I was up there so I could feel the weightlessness that I so longlessly dreamed about. The weightlessness that brought no sadness, stress, or struggles. Down here I was merely a weight on the world, being of no use to anyone or anything, maybe even a diamond in the rough but if my uniqueness showed then maybe I would actually have potential. Still, that sounded very unlikely. I couldn't honor my myself but the weightlessness of the clouds could. Above those clouds only then would I see the sun once again. How happy would I be? Eternally happy. Only the clouds could make me happy because they looked so fake yet they were real<em> just like myself. </em>
