Select the correct text in the passage. during his boyhood, the main character in john updike's "the brown chest" believes that

the present is more powerful than the past. which part of the excerpt supports this statement? the entire front of the house had this neglected quality, with its guest bedroom where guests hardly ever stayed; it held a gray-painted bed with silver moons on the headboard and corner posts shaped at the top like mushrooms, and a little desk by the window where his mother sometimes, but not often, wrote letters and confided sentences to her diary in her tiny backslanting hand. if she had never done this, the room would have become haunted, even though it looked out on the busy street with its telephone wires and daytime swish of cars but the occasional scratch of her pen exerted just enough pressure to keep away the frightening shadows, the sad spirits from long ago, locked into events that couldn't change.

Why is Macbeth not at peace?​
GrogVix [38]

Answer

Macbeth is not at peace because, in order to become a king, he murdered the previous king, Duncan. Not only does this murder make Macbeth consumed with guilt, but it triggers a series of events that make him feel more and more uneasy. Macbeth later murders Banquo, convinced that he also represents a threat to his power, while Duncan's son plots a revenge against Macbeth.

Illusion [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

In the excerpt from the “Four Freedoms” speech, Roosevelt see the present threat to American security and safety as unprecedented because (B) No nation has ever attempted to destroy the world's democracies.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech highlighted four freedoms in his speech: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.

The speech he delivered emphasized on the policy of intervention in World war II. It had become significant for them to break their initial policy of not participating in the war. It was time to take strong action because there was a threat to America's security. None of the countries had earlier attacked world democracy but it was possible then that this would happen.
