Answer:
Yes, I agree with the statement that the loss of Major Kovalyov's nose symbolizes the loss of power in the person.
Explanation:
Nikolai Gogol's satirical story "The Nose" that tells the story around an official in the Russian government who lost his nose. And along with that loss of the physical facial feature, he seemed to have lost his self-esteem and did things that seemed unbecoming of a government official.
In the story, the loss of the nose not only represents the literal loss of the facial feature. It also represents the literal loss of power or authority in the person. Collegiate Assessor Kovalyov was proud of his achievement and would refer to himself as "<em>Major</em>" just to show his power, <em>"to make himself sound more important and to give more weight to his status"</em>. Thus, it is evident that power and status means a lot to him. So, when he realized his nose had disappeared and resurfaced as some official higher than him in position, he was flabbergasted. He even approached the nose at the church and demanded to know <em>"where you belong? And where do I find you? In church, of all places!"</em>. He had previously guessed the position of the nose as perhaps <em>"a state councilor"</em> but that did not deter him from reproachfully ordering him to return his nose.
So, when the nose refused to return, he felt smaller and in "<em>absolute despair"</em>. He even stated his position of "<em>major</em>" to the nose, in a bid to give authenticity to his claim. His common demeanor of telling people to 'ask for Major Kovalyov' to get something or approaching beautiful ladies all changed after the loss of the nose. Now, he felt powerless and unable to do anything, not even depend on his 'title' to get his own personal property-the nose, back. He was even reluctant to face the <em>"slim girl [whose] cheeks flushed with the colour of the first rose of spring."</em> He did not have any courage to approach or behave as he normally would have been, confident and powerful. And when he was asked his name at the advertising agency, he refused to reveal his name which he used to proudly proclaim to everyone.
And once the nose was returned, he felt a sense of joy that was so <em>"intense" </em>and regained his previous personality/ character of the 'powerful' and 'dashing' Major. Thus, I agree with the statement that the loss of the nose symbolizes the loss of power in the character of Major Kovalyov.

Explanation:
Answer: A feudal system created on the ruins of slavery.
Explanation:
The feudal system is a social system that was in place during the Middle Ages. This system consisted of landowners, respectively (feudal lords), and tenants (feudal) land that the feudal lords leased. This system was suitable for landowners. Namely, it was the peasants who cultivated the ground and gave most of the income to the landlord; for them, it was generally smaller, the amount that the peasant could survive. In these circumstances, it was the serfs who endured the complete system, and often there were riots, which were largely suppressed. We can, therefore, conclude that the peasant, unlike the feudal lord, was not privileged and in any way protected by the system.

Answer:
Uses figurative language to describe the disappointment Robert may feel.
Explanation:
This question refers to the story "Fish Cheeks" by Amy Tan. According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
- Uses precise language to describe what Robert would see and feel.
- Contains details that appeal to the reader's senses of sight and taste.
- Uses figurative language to describe the disappointment Robert may feel.
- Contains a simile comparing roasted turkey and sweet potatoes to Chinese food.
This is the best way to describe the author's intention in this sentence. In the story, we learn about a Chinese girl who likes an American boy. She decides to invite him to Christmas dinner. However, she is extremely embarrassed of the fact that the food will be Chinese, as opposed to a traditional American dinner. In this line, the author describes the girl's thoughts about how disappointed the boy will be with the food. The author uses figurative language in order to create a more vivid image in the mind of the reader.
