It could be C or D but I believe it is C since the poem seems to bring across the idea that most people see women as skinny or thin and to have large legs or a large nose, she, by some is considered "off." That's just what I think.

Answer:

C. Anger about gender stereotyping.

Explanation:

Marge Piercy's "Barbie Doll" focuses on the predicament of a 'girl-child' and exemplifies a feminist tone. She critics the cultural stereotype of a perfect woman. She displays her anguish by suggesting the body image and patterns of behavior enforced by society as fatal. These deadly consequences include the girls killing themselves when they fail to meet the extensive unreasonable standards set up by society. She argues that these norms mistreat the psyche of the woman and they prefer dying over attaining the perfect body. Thus, the poem is a commentary against gender stereotyping.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" seem to foreshadow Dexter’s future obsession with

irina1246 [14]

The two sentences that seem to foreshadow Dexter’s future obsession with “possessing” Judy Jones are "He wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves" and "Often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges".

In "Winter Dreams" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dexter, who is the main character of the story, believes that Judy is the ideal woman. Although she is selfish, he pursues Judy because he has an idealistic view of her; in other words, he does not conceive her as a flawed human being. However, this idealistic view is shattered when she becomes a housewife.

This two sentences seem to foreshadow Dexter's obsession because the phrase "glittering things" could refer to Judy, whom Dexter sees as radiant. Moreover, the second sentence, which implies that Dexter wanted things without knowing why, is connected to the fact that he never loved Judy for who she was since he was always in love with an ideal of womanhood.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Environmental scientists look for solutions to protect the environment, while chemists develop new products.

Explanation:

The last two sentences use the conjunction while meaning whereas, i.e. indicating a contrast. So the purpose of sentences 3 and 4 is to contrast certain things about environmental scientists and chemists. However, the fourth sentence contrasts only level of education required for these jobs.

The third sentence refers to actual work that environmental scientists and chemists do. Therefore, this sentence most accurately describes a way in which the jobs of environmental scientists and chemists contrast.
