Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. "A tiger dies and leaves a skin. A man dies and leaves a name

." This ancient Chinese proverb illustrates the fundamental quality of man that distinguishes him from the animals—the power to think and reason. He can decide what his future will hold. In the molding and shaping of his life, man exerts an influence on all whom he encounters. He has the ability to choose the type of influence he will have. A tiger, unlike a man, has no control over either his environment or his destiny. Though he is a majestic animal that prowls the jungle with pride and assurance, terrorizing both man and beast, his actions are governed only by the laws of nature. His death leaves the world unchanged; he exerts no lasting influence. When a man dies, however, he may continue to influence others through his accomplished goals and through the traits and ideas he has passed on. Which of the following generalizations is justified based on the facts given in the preceding paragraph? The author believes one person can make a difference. Tigers are a menace. Man has the ability to reason.

Man has the ability to reason.



Why I don't think the others are correct:

The author's focus never indicates a singular person. While the author did mention the tiger's ability to terrorize, the author does not go as far to claim the tiger is a menace.

Write a story about a person who helped an enemy or somebody he/she disliked<br>​
fgiga [73]

I despise the word enemy, so let's say old acquaintance to refer to them. So my ex-best friend, who I knew since kindergarten, would always try to put me down by insulting me or making me feel less important. Back then I never really noticed any red flags, but looking at it now, I realize how much jealousy can affect an insecure person. One day at my crush's bday party, she would purposely try to make me feel jealous or touch him a lot (in front of me obviously), when she knew that I liked him and there were probably chances of him feeling the same, but that's another story I don't want to get into right now. She just couldn't stop being with him after that, and she would upload stories with him on social media, text him, compliment him, etc, and it wasn't even the fact that they were already pretty close before I told her I had feelings for him, she wouldn't bother talking to him. Long story short, she kis sed him 2 times, it was honestly my last straw. Funny thing is, I don't get jealous easily, and If I happen to, I just have control and make sure I don't hurt anyone because of it, so it wasn't at all about the fact that she stole my potential bo yfriend. It was the action of it, like “I don't respect you and I don't care about your feelings” kind of action, which made me purely disgusted and disrespected.

Based on this excerpt from "Porphyria's Lover” by Robert Browning, what does the setting contribute to this poem?
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>The answer is the letter (D) <span>The destructive nature of the poem echoes Porphyria's limitless passion. </span>This explanation is based on the fact that Porfiria wanted to be with her lover forever and this fact is fulfilled in an alternative reality when she finds death in the hands of the man with whom she had desired eternal bliss, in that tragic moment it would seem that Porfiria does not show resistance and dies with a smile in his mouth, to reflect the immense love he had for his lover.<span> The poem by Robert Browning (Porphyria's Lover, 1842) is considered as a first approach of the author to the technique of dramatic monologue that he himself would contribute to develop and perfect.</span></span>
