From the article, the intensity and duration of the pleasure decrease over time because when we get something, we want to get something else.

According to the article, everyone seeks happiness and also the maintenance of a good state of mind. This brings about new thoughts, new ideas, etc.

Therefore, the intensity and duration of the pleasure we take in new things tend to decrease over time. As humans, when we get something we want, we proceed to the next thing and want something else.

For that first one the answer would be the third choice.  Throughout the story, Anne would continually write in her diary which proved her as an excellent writer.   For the second one, probably the first choice, due to the fact of that long time that everyone was staying in the Annex, it was super depressing.  For the last one, I'm not really sure, but I'll guess the third choice.  I hope this helps, and please mark as brainliest if possibly correct. THX!

Yes, because his mother taught him to look at the world not only from his own perspective, but also from other one. This will lead him to not judge a book by its cover and keep an open mind to others’ situations in the future.

Identify What universal themes does Homer explore in the Odyssey? Choose two events from either Part One or Part Two, and explai
xeze [42]

Answer and Explanation:

As you may already know, "Odyssey" is an epic story written, probably, by Homer. The story takes place in Greece, during the Trojan War and we learn about the achievements and adventures of the hero Odysseus and his attempts to return home.

In part I of this story, we are introduced to topics such as cunning and fidelity. Cunning is presented through Odisseuy's deeds, which is the main characteristic of this hero. Cunning is presented at all times in the work, pointing Odysseus as someone who is courageous, daring and intelligent. Fidelity, on the other hand, is presented through Odysseus' remorse for not being faithful to his wife during many moments in his adventures.

Part II of this work presents other themes such as character flaws and hospitality. The character flaw is also a great feature of Odysseus and shows how imperfect the hero is, in addition to humanizing him and allowing readers to identify with him. The hospitality is due to Odisseu's wife, who needs to receive in her home many suitors who bother her and destroy her family's patrimony.
