Answer: A
Explanation: He wants to hear more of nature
Answer:
Since then - 'tis Centuries - and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
Explanation:
A paradox is a self-contradictory statement to one's investigation that was found true. So an example would be save money by spending it. This is not the same as saving money TO spend it, because you're doing it for a reason. Saving money by spending would mean that you're not actually saving money, therefore you contradict yourself.
I chose these lines because they author is basically saying that it's been centuries since then, but it actually feels like it's been a shorter period.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
The author's purpose is to do what?
1. explain the importance of Gothic architecture.
2. show how Venetian architecture is different from Gothic architecture.
3. describe Venetian architecture.
4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.
Answer:
The author's purpose is to:
4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.
Explanation:
The author states his purpose very clearly right at the beginning of the passage:
<u>"I will try to give the reader of this article some idea of the real history of Gothic architecture, not just of Venice, but of universal Gothic."</u>
The author will discuss the nature of Gothic architecture - what this style of architecture consists of. He makes it clear that he will not focus only on the Gothic of Venice. He will talk about it universally. He will indeed show how far Venetian architecture went in terms of this style, but this is not the main purpose of the study. Having that in mind, the best option is number 4:
4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.
Answer:
A) She uses comparisons to show the speaker’s connection to the snake .
Explanation:
Well, in the poem, she sees a snake slithering through the grass. With that view, she remembers a time when she was younger and interacted with a snake:
"A narrow fellow in the grass...
------------------------------------------------
Yet when a child, and barefoot,
I more than once, at morn..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dickinson also said how the snake seemed scary to a lot of people, but in reality it was not:
"But never met this fellow,
Attended or alone,
Without a tighter breathing,
And zero at the bone.
