The above question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the passage from A Doll’s House.

Nora: Nurse, I want you to tell me something I have often wondered about—how could you have the heart to put your own child out among strangers?

Nurse: I was obliged to, if I wanted to be little Nora's Nurse.

Nora: Yes, but how could you be willing to do it?

Nurse: What, when I was going to get such a good place by it? A poor girl who has got into trouble should be glad to. Besides, that wicked man didn't do a single thing for me.

Nora: But I suppose your daughter has quite forgotten you.

Nurse: No, indeed she hasn't. She wrote to me when she was confirmed, and when she was married.

How does the author use the character of the nurse to develop the social issue of gender inequality? A. The nurse’s willingness to take care of Nora when Nora was little demonstrates a woman’s ability to do difficult work. B. The nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself. C. The fact that the nurse’s child wrote to her as a young girl and as an adult demonstrates a woman’s ability to keep friends forever. D. The nurse’s assurance to Nora that her children ask for her often demonstrates women’s role in health care."

Answer:

B. The nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself.

Explanation:

The text shown in the above, shows how a woman had to choose to create and participate in her daughter's life, or have a job so that she could support herself, have housing and food that would allow a minimum quality of life.

The text shows the social inequality in relation to women and especially when they were single mothers. This is because, women had few job opportunities and if they had children the bosses believed that the job would not be done correctly. This caused women to make difficult decisions in order to survive.

Which details best support the theme that oppression
katrin [286]

Answer:

- "This was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race."

- "... they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings."

Explanation:

1. This statement support the theme especially looking at the ending part which says, "they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race". We note that the perceived oppression they experienced prompted them to act, but despite acting they were still struggling with the alternative course of action.

2. The statement "they were far better off" indicates that they experienced oppression "in the days of Jones".

Thus, after their ordeal they were determined more than ever to avoid the alternative of not preventing the return of the human beings.

Read the excerpt from The Ancient City.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The main idea of the paragraph is:

A. Many Greek towns held sporting events with similar games.

Explanation:

When writing a paragraph, we mention the main idea along the first lines and then develop and support that idea in the following lines. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the author's main idea is expressed in the very first sentence, "The Panathenaic Games was only one of several great religious sporting events held in Greece." From that point on, the author mentions the other several games that were held in Greece. He/She does include minor facts such as the cities where they were held, who could participate, and what sort of differences there could be between them. But the main reason for mentioning all those games is to provide evidence and support to the main idea that the Panathenaic was only of several sporting events.

Hamlet says, "Denmark’s a prison.” Write two to three sentences in which you identify the type of figurative language Hamlet use
Alex_Xolod [135]

When he says "Denmark's a prison", Hamlet is using a metaphor. A metaphor is a word or expression that means something different from their literal meaning. This figurative language is telling us that, like a person who is in prison, Hamlet also feels as if he were trapped and watched the whole time.

Two other sentences that are using figurative language as well, are the following:

"<u>To be or not to be</u>", is a parallel structure, that is, when we are using the same pattern of words, to show that those words or ideas bear the same importance.

"<u>Despised love</u>", is an oxymoron, which is a kind of speech containing words that seem to contradict each other.
