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>

Select Proportional or Not Proportional to correctly classify each pair of ratios.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Yes, it is proportional.

Proportions Explained:

Draw 2 triangles, triangle ABC and triangle DEF. Label any 2 sides of triangle ABC as measuring 18" and 4". Label the 2 corresponding sides of triangle DEF as measuring 72" and 16".

When you see if 18/72 and 4/16 are proportional, you are seeing if triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar. One way to do it is with proportions, which is the way we are doing it. When making proportions, you want to put corresponding sides into the same fraction. For example, let's say you labeled side AB as 18" and side BC as 4". In triangle DEF, let's say you labeled side DE as 72" and side EF as 16". When making proportions, you want to put the corresponding side lengths (AB and DE) into the same fraction. Second fraction, same way. Just remember that the second fraction has to correspond with the first fraction. If you put the side length of triangle ABC on top and the side length of triangle DEF on bottom, you need to do the same for the second fraction.

But, they did the previous steps and want you to do the rest:

Now you have two fractions: AB/DE and BC/EF, or 18/72 and 4/16. Fully reduce each fraction, and if they come out to the same fully reduced fraction, they are proportional and the two triangles are similar. 18/72 reduces to 1/4 and 4/16 reduced to 1/4. 1/4=1/4, so the final answer is yes.

in this excerpt from “Porphyria’s Lover” by Robert Browning, which lines suggest that the speaker doubts the depth of Porphyria'
Airida [17]
In my opinion, those lines are: "<span>Too weak, for all her heart's endeavour, To set its struggling passion free From pride, and vainer ties dissever." At this moment, Porphyria confesses her love for the speaker. But he is on the verge of doubting it because he thinks that she is too weak to give herself entirely to him, and because she is obviously unwilling to cut those "vainer ties". He doesn't really explain what these ties are and why they are vain. Maybe he has low self-confidence and therefore thinks that he is not worthy of her. Anyway, the following lines ("But passion...") function as a counterpoint because she actually gave up a jolly party and came in the stormy night to the cottage just to be with him - which probably means that she really cares about him. But it doesn't neutralize his initial doubt.</span>
