Loren, the new manager, is the <u><em>antithesis</em></u> of compassion; just yesterday, she fired two people because they were late to work once this week. Corporate headquarters, upset with declining sales, appointed Loren to replace a[n] <u><em>impotent</em></u> manager who had been spotted on the golf course during work hours one-too-many times. Loren's many changes and <u><em>emendation(s)</em></u><em> </em>to company guidelines caused a[n] <u><em>maelstrom</em></u> in both the warehouse and the salesroom. Employees faced evaluations and new instructions that drove many to resign; however, it was part of Loren's plan. The people who quit, she reasoned, were just <u><em>impediment</em></u> to meeting the expected monthly profit margin. Loren spent the first two weeks familiarizing herself with the <u><em>labyrinth</em></u> of shelves and palettes in the warehouse. Shreds of textiles littered parts of the packaging area; some were hefty snippets of wool, and others were <u><em>diaphanous</em></u> scraps of silk that hovered in the gust created by passing forklifts. She occasionally stopped to introduce herself to the workers, but she ceased her introductions after noticing the regular look of <u><em>chagrin</em></u> on workers' faces as they scrambled to look busy or stumbled over the proper responses to her questions. After the first round of resignations-and, firings, most of the workers were intimidated by Loren's <u><em>bestial</em></u> management techniques.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

"One conflict I've faced is the possibility of rejection, specifically in auditioning for my school's advanced choir. I was unwaveringly nervous of rejection because it would mean, in my eyes, that I wasn't a good enough singer. Eventually, I decided it was best to try and possibly succeed than to live life in torment of the "what ifs." Now, almost a year later, I sing louder than anyone in my section of Basses, all because I went for it. Had I been overwhelmed by my fear of rejection, I never would have met my new friends or fallen in love with the songs I now sing."
As for your own conflict, you can think of something most people don't really think about, like lying to protect someone's feelings or not agreeing with something your parents do and you not knowing what to do about it.
- "<em>The sniff of green leaves and dry leaves, and of the shore and dark-color’d sea-rocks, and of hay in the barn,/ The sound of the belch’d words of my voice loos’d to the eddies of the wind"</em>
In this quote, Whitman reflects Romantic thinking as he talks about the nature that surrounds him. Like most Romantic thinkers, Whitman finds a chance to reflect when surrounded by nature. Moreover, he finds a type of wisdom and inspiration in natural settings, and sees them as intrinsically connected to him.
- <em>"You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,)/ You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books"</em>
In these lines, Whitman refers to the "good of the earth and sun," to "the eyes of the dead," and "the spectres in books." All of these statements refers to cultural and traditional sources of inspiration and knowledge. A common trait among the Romantics was an interest in rediscovering such sources of knowledge.
- <em>"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,/ And what I assume you shall assume,/ For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."</em>
A characteristic of Romantic literature is a focus on the author's inner world, inner feelings and personal experiences. In this poem, we see that Whitman mostly focuses on the feelings that exist within himself, and that make him reflect on his place in the world.
