Answer:The uni trimester ended while leaves still clung to the trees. Betsie found herself missing the crunching sound of the fallen leaves as she travelled home, the audible sound of autumn weather that usually meant it was holiday time.

Elaine greeted her daughter at the door. A candle burned on the fireplace, it resembled a small amount of warmth yet to come.

Arthur had gone to collect wood, Elaine told Betsie. “He’s losing it. I’m over him. I know we had you late and all, and it is harder I guess when you have a child at a late age but it’s not you that worries me. You are fine!”

Elaine plonked her rear down on the floral armchair, it rocked a little then came back to centre – she didn’t flinch when the hot tea soaked her leg.

It reminded Betsie of a time when she watched her mother push material underneath the foot of the sewing needle. The chain roared while Elaine’s fingers pressed the material. Then she watched as her mother’s finger slipped underneath the foot, punctured by the sharp end of the needle which went all the way through her finger. Elaine didn’t flinch, she finished running that edge, then licked her finger between her thin lips before changing the edge around. Betsie had stared at her mother in wonder.

“I don’t not love Arthur but I don’t like him.” Elaine sipped her tea and it spilled over her chin on to her knitted woollen cardigan.

The candle flickered against the wall above the fire.

“Jane told me, you know young Jane, the teacher next door? She told me that she saw Arthur at the car out front and you know what he said to her? He said ‘I thought I saw a blonde girl walking towards me and I’m blind enough that I couldn’t see her until she was on top of me.’ Then he got in his car and drove off! I’ve told him not to drive. But you know.”

“Mum, cars have always been Arthur’s passion.”

Elaine’s eyes flickered.

Arthur appeared at the arched entry to the lounge room. “You’re near the sex candle. Cost me a lot of sex, that candle!”

“Arthur! Your daughter has come home.”

Arthur giggled. “Whoops! How are you dear?”

“Good dad.”

“Come out back and I’ll show you the beast.”

“New car dad?”

“Old car-new engine!”

“Great!”

Arthur and Betsie left Elaine and the candle flickering in the lounge room.

In the shed they examined a beautiful old Willy’s Jeep with a motor cradled in the bonnet, still chained up on the hoist.

“Now darling,” he turned to his daughter. “I know what you’re thinking. Another car! This old cob can’t deserve another car, can he? But with your mum and all, it’s been hard. Her dementia is getting worse and, well, I need some space.”

Arthur’s eyes flickered.

“I do love your mum. It’s just that, sometimes I don’t like her.”

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

C. Revising a poem’s ideas and words

Explanation:

This question refers to Mackenzie Connellee's poem "Invitation".

There, the author counters the claim that writing poetry is easy work and gives some examples of the creative process.

In the mentioned lines, the author makes a metaphor about poetry "slopping lazily over the couch of a page" while the author has to "remove its muddy shoes and rearrange the pillows". That means that it takes some hard work and long road from the idea and raw material to the finished poem.

Which of the following lines
Luden [163]

All that he had learned only made him feel how little he knew in comparison to what remained, these lines from "True Stories of History and Biography" uses a tone that reveals Hawthorne's attitude toward Isaac Newton.

<h3>Who was Hawthorne's?</h3>

The dismal romantic novels and short stories of American author Nathaniel Hawthorne (born July 4, 1804, died May 19, 1864) are well-known. His works typically touch on history, religion, and morality.

His family had a lengthy history in Salem, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1804. In 1821, Hawthorne enrolled at Bowdoin College. In 1824, he was accepted into Phi Beta Kappa, and in 1825, he graduated.

His first book, Fanshawe, was out in 1828, but he later tried to bury it since he thought it wasn't up to the standard of his later novels.

He wrote several short stories for publications, which he eventually collected as Twice-Told Tales in 1837.

<h3>Who was Isaac Newton?</h3>

The most talented English mathematician of his day was Isaac Newton. For differential and integral calculus, he laid the groundwork. He is one of the best scientists the world has ever known thanks to his studies on optics and gravitation.

He also provided the groundwork for contemporary physical optics when he identified the phenomenon of white light combined with colors.

His well-known mechanics "three laws of motion" and the development of the gravitational "laws" fundamentally altered the course of physics all across the world. In mathematics, he was the creator of calculus.

He is regarded as a wonderful gift from nature to the field of physics.

Hence, option A is correct.
