Which two sentences in this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" most closely reflects the central th

eme of the passage?
His guests shivered again. A strange chillness, whether of the body or spirit they could not tell, was creeping gradually over them all. They gazed at one another, and fancied that each fleeting moment snatched away a charm, and left a deepening furrow where none had been before. Was it an illusion? Had the changes of a lifetime been crowded into so brief a space, and were they now four aged people, sitting with their old friend, Dr. Heidegger?

"Are we grown old again, so soon?" cried they, dolefully.

In truth they had. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine. The delirium which it created had effervesced away. Yes! they were old again. With a shuddering impulse, that showed her a woman still, the widow clasped her skinny hands before her face, and wished that the coffin-lid were over it, since it could be no longer beautiful.

"Yes, friends, ye are old again," said Dr. Heidegger, "and lo! the Water of Youth is all lavished on the ground. Well, I bemoan it not; for if the fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips in it; no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments. Such is the lesson ye have taught me!"

But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.

Michael is giving his friend feedback on her paper. Which two sections of his review contain constructive feedback? My favorite
Lana71 [14]

Constructive feedback reinforces positive behavior and offers a critique in a direct but respectful way. If given in a negative or rude way, criticism might not only hurt the feelings of the receiver but also reinforce negative behavior. Blending praise and suggestions make the feedback polite and efficient.

In the excerpt, the two parts that contain constructive feedback are:

<em>'My favorite part of the essay was when you described your grandmother's reaction after finding the frog in her purse because it was so funny and so vivid.'</em>

<em>'I would suggest working on word choice, since you used the same words many times in the essay. Use a thesaurus to find synonyms if you need to.'</em>

The first section reinforces positive behavior by offering a compliment while the second one offers a suggestion for improvement.

The other sections criticize his friend's paper in a negative way, making harsh comments without offering any suggestions or solutions to the flaws found.

Which sentence uses correct subject-verb agreement?
nikdorinn [45]
My choice would be A. It’s not B since “the conflict are” is incorrect. Not C since “they writes” is incorrect. And I believe D is incorrect since “a Nobel Prize winner” doesn’t agree with “are” — you could rewrite it as “The Nobel prize winner IS either Lessing or Gordimer”.
