Is Bartleby – as a character – some kind of folk hero, some silent saint who refuses to be a part of capitalism (the story takes

place on Wall Street – a location synonymous with capitalism and finance), or is he just some guy who "would prefer not to" do anything? Give an example from the text for support.

Answer:

Let's remember that Bartleby was a homeless man. He lived in the narrator's office. He never left, and 'preferred not to' do anything. I think that the moral of this story is never to judge someone by their behaviour. The narrator didn't know what kind of man Bartleby was until he saw that Bartleby never left. He's mysterious. He's just some guy who doesn't know how to do the scrivening job, but stays employed to the narrator because he has been provided with a room and food.

Explanation:

 “Will you tell me, Bartleby, where you were born?”  

 “I would prefer not to.”  

 “Will you tell me any thing about yourself?”  

 “I would prefer not to.”

What word best fits this sentience? ----, the constitution breaks the U.S. Government into three branches. Pick one of the four
Airida [17]

Answer:

B). Instead

Explanation:

As per the question, the most appropriate word to complete the given sentence would be 'instead.' Thus, the complete sentence reads as:

'Instead, the constitution breaks the U.S. Government into three branches.'

<u>It offers a complete and accomplished meaning. It implies that 'in comparison to the present two branches of the federal government, the constitution instead divides the United States Govt. three equal yet independent branches</u>.' The other word fails to go as per the context of the sentence and convey an incomplete thought as they either include a subordinating conjunction('although', 'before') or require contextual background(as 'in conclusion'). Thus, <u>option</u> <u>B</u> is the correct answer.
