Answer: A. Because governments can only lock a person up physically, not mentally

In section three of "Civil Disobedience," Henry David Thoreau describes his own experience defying the law. He argues that even though he was imprisoned in body, the government could not imprison him mentally or defeat his spirit. He says that in fact, he was more free than most citizens, because he was free in his mind:

<em>"I saw that, if there was a wall of stone between me and my townsmen, there was a still more difficult one to break through, before they could get to be as free as I was."</em>

1. Based on the passage, what can you infer about the character of Mrs. Bennet?
Damm [24]

What can be inferred about Mrs. Bennet in "Pride and Prejudice" is that she is a talkative gossip fixated on marrying her daughters off to a wealthy man.

<h3>Who is Mrs. Bennet?</h3>
  • Mrs. Bennet is a character in the novel "Pride and Prejudice."
  • She is the mother of 5 daughters.
  • Mrs. Bennet enjoys gossiping about neighbors.
  • Her main concern is to marry all of her daughters as soon as possible.
  • She also believes money is important, so she looks for wealthy suitors for her daughters.

Mrs. Bennet is quite a comical character as her main qualities seem to annoy her husband and daughters. She does not necessarily have a greedy heart or bad intentions, but all she cares about is marrying her daughters off to wealthy men.

With the information above in mind, we can select option D as the correct answer.

ead the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Eventually, I visited Guyana to find out the fate of our house. As our car passed
ozzi

The author presents characteristics of Guyana's desolate and dismal landscape as a means to appeal to those who depended on the sugar production business in order to maintain themselves economically, and thus, demonstrating the importance of sugar. The whole purpose of the passage is to provide ethical evidence from the sugar scheme's current situation, presenting information about the moral consequences of this business' downfall; in this case, the economic backlash in the country of Guyana.

A symbol is an object, action, or event that represents something or that creates a range of associations beyond itself. In lite
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The chosen symbol is Fire.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley referred to Frankenstein as a modern Prometheus, reinforcing the symbolism associated with fire since the title of the work.

As we know, Prometheus is a character present in Greek mythology and described as responsible for creating the human race and for giving knowledge to fire for humanity, which allowed an evolution in the human race. In her book, Shelley puts Frankenstein as an allusion to Prometheus, causing him to create human life.

In this story, fire represents knowledge and once Frankenstein's creature had access to knowledge, Frankenstein's life and family was completely destroyed by his creature, who, like fire, consumed everything that Frankenstein held. In this case, fire also represents suffering and destruction.

"Frankenstein" is a work full of symbolisms and meanings, which deal directly with the human emotional and its capacity to create and destroy.
