krok68 [10]

Answer:

I would say D

Explanation:

The rule of thirds is a very simple concept. It simply means that whenever your children get money (whether that’s an allowance, a gift, “pocket money,” or something they’ve earned), they split it into three portions.

The first portion is money they get to spend on anything they want, right now.

The second portion is money they can save for a few months towards a big purchase. Perhaps they want a bicycle or a game console.

The third portion is money they can save for a long time. Perhaps it’s money they might eventually use towards buying a house, getting married, or funding college.

NemiM [27]
<span>"Therefore she weaveth steadily,
Therefore no other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott.
She lives with little joy or fear."

These lines show the monotony of the lady's existence because it shows her emotion and the fact that she weaves every day without anything else to do. Showing that she "lives with little joy or fear" means that she isn't happy, but she isn't afraid, she just is. This way of existing shows how monotonous and boring her life is. </span>
