1. Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in

discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
2. "I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
3. No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel's offering was accepted by God, but Cain's was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, Am I my brother's keeper? By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)

The passage implies that which of these is true of Mr. Utterson? (5 points)

He is less wealthy than Mr. Enfield.

He is not related to Mr. Enfield.

He can be socially awkward.

He can be violent when angered.

How can you encourage your friends to give more importance to knowledge then mark ?
Aleks [24]
I would always advise my friend that it is necessary to study all subjects in depth and perform well in the examinations to enable him to carry out higher studies in order to have a stable working career. But, at the same time, I'd advise him that merely obtaining good marks is not the barometer of gaining knowledge. Attaining knowledge on diverse things is most important for a human person.
My advice to my friend would be acquiring knowledge by reading books on diverse subjects, learning about various matters by watching television channels like National Geographic, History Channel, Travel & Living and so on. But, first of all, he should know most things about his own country. With the advent of the internet and satellite television, gathering knowledge has become easy; he should make use of these facilities.
Even for passing examinations, he must read and understand the various subjects and topics rather than learn by rote, simply memorising without understanding is not good.   <span><span>Comments </span> <span>Report</span></span>

Okay, this is a song from the perspective of God.

The books you think I wrote are way too thick.

Who needs a thousand metaphors to figure out you shouldn’t be a DlCK?

And I don’t watch you when you sleep.

Surprisingly, I don’t use my omnipotence to be a ducking creep.

You’re not going to heaven.

Why the duck would you think I'd ever kick it with you?

None of you are going to heaven.

There’s a trillion aliens cooler than you.

You shouldn’t abstain from r a p e just because you think that I want you to.

You shouldn’t r a p e because r a p e is a ducked up thing to do.

Pretty obvious, just don’t duckin r a p e people, didn’t think I had to write that one down for you.

I don’t think m a s t u r b a t i o n is obscene.

It's absolutely natural and the weirdest ducking thing I’ve ever seen.

Which of the following best describes the cause-and-effect structure in a memoir?
Contact [7]
The option that best describes the cause-and-effect structure in a memoir is when the structure focuses on an incident and its consequences.
I would say that the correct option is the third one.
The cause is the incident, and the effect are its consequences.
