Answer:

Ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

Which in (the end) causeth thy soul to weep,

When the body lieth in clay.

Here shall you see how Fellowship and Jollity,

Both Strength, Pleasure, and Beauty,

Will fade from thee as flower in May.

For ye shall hear, how our heavenly king

Calleth Everyman to a (general reckoning)

Give audience, and hear what he doth say.

GOD: I perceive here in my majesty,

How that all the creatures be to me unkind,

Living without dread in worldly prosperity:

Of (ghostly sight) the people be so blind,

Drowned in sin, they know me not for their God;

In worldly riches is all their mind,

They fear not (my righteousness,) the sharp rod;

(My law that I shewed,) when I for them died[…]

How can you explain the 3-4 drops of ruby colored drops of fluid that fell into Rowena's goblet without her realizing it?

dedylja [7]

The drops can be considered a type of poison or blessing in Rowena's life, as they were placed by an unknown individual and caused her death.

Although you haven't shown the story this question refers to, we can say from the context of the question that it refers to "Ligeia" written by Edgar Alan Poe.

About "Ligeia" we can say that:

This is a short story that shows a narrator in love with Ligeia, a beautiful and intelligent woman.
The narrator, however, marries Rowena, a woman he does not love and does not intend to love.
Ligeia dies throughout the story, which leaves the narrator extremely depressed and violent.
Rowena is very afraid of him and lives miserable, trapped in a loveless marriage. This deteriorates her health very badly.
When Rowena is agonizing in her bed, a mysterious and invisible individual drops red drops into the glass that Rowena goes to have a drink from.
These drops cause Rowena's death.
In this case, the drops can be seen as a poison, which took Rowena's life, or as a blessing, as it brought peace to her soul.
The mysterious individual can be interpreted as the spirit of Ligeia, who wished to free Rowena from her suffering, or as the narrator who caused Rowena's death as a way of getting rid of her presence.

Based on this, we can see that Poe wanted to convey a very strong message through the short story. This message showed that love is such a strong and overwhelming feeling that it can create terrible and frightening situations.

Hey! I hope you are doing okay, and here is my answer with my own words, all I hope is you turn my words into your own :)

Illustration is a very important text feature because it provides an imagery to the reader. Illustration is what makes a story more interesting. It provides a base for the imagination the reader can create in their mind.

Honestly I hope this is what the question meant. Good luck!

The following sentence may have an ERROR in the use of commas. If it does, choose the revision that corrects the error. If it do

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Even though the possible options for revisions were not posted in your question, I believe the best way to correct the sentence is:

Because they were relieved to have survived the arduous journey along the rugged frontier, many settlers were known to kiss the ground upon finally arriving at their destination.

Explanation:

The original sentence did not present a comma between the dependent clause and the independent one. That would have been right if the dependent clause had come after the independent one. That would have been the natural structural order for the sentence. However, that is not the case. The sentence began with the dependent clause - which can be identified by the subordinating conjunction "because". While the normal structure would be "A happened because of B", what we have in this sentence is "because of B, A happened". When we invert the sequence, we should use a comma to separate the clauses. For that reason, the best way to correct the sentence is by adding a comma between the words "frontier" and "many":

Because they were relieved to have survived the arduous journey along the rugged frontier, many settlers were known to kiss the ground upon finally arriving at their destination.
