Answer:
#2 Question on counterpoints
Explanation:
Sir Walter Raleigh writes "The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd" as a response to Christopher Marlowe’s poem. Each stanza of Raleigh’s poem is a rejection or disqualification of the Shepard's promises in “The Passionate Shepard to His Love”, these are his counterpoints. He stresses two ideas, the first is that all things fade in time, including love, and the second is that there are consequences for every action. In his story, the Nymph is portrayed as skeptical and cold-hearted. She believes love is too good to be true, meanwhile, the Shepard has a warmer and loving side. One counterpoint Raleigh makes is that nature is not as beautiful as it is portrayed in other poems. In Marlow’s poem nature is described in awe and wonder, while in Raleigh's it is described in a realistic and unfanciful sense. Another counterpoint he makes has to do with love. He claims that love “fades as quickly as the flowers die”. The main point of his poem is to communicate the realistic and prudent side of life, he believes that love does not last and similarly, the beauty of nature is as temporary as love. eventually fades and dies.
Answer:
c) Jack will not understand the club’s decision unless he talks to Christopher.
Explanation:
A vague pronoun is a pronoun that does not clearly indicate which antecedent (or noun) it is referring to. All options, except option C, have a vague pronoun because in these sentences it is not clear whether “he” (the pronoun) is referring to the antecedent “Jack” or “Christopher.”
Option C, on the other hand, is the one that corrects the vague pronoun because it clearly states that the pronoun “he” refers to “Jack” only.
Edna Pontellier was a controversial character. She upset many nineteenth century expectations for women and their supposed roles. One of her most shocking actions was her denial of her role as a mother and wife. Kate Chopin displays this rejection gradually, but the concept of motherhood is major theme throughout the novel.
Edna is fighting against the societal and natural structures of motherhood that force her to be defined by her title as wife of Leonce Pontellier and mother of Raoul and Etienne Pontellier, instead of being her own, self-defined individual. Through Chopin’s focus on two other female characters, Adele Ratignolle and Mademoiselle Reisz, Edna’s options of life paths are exhibited.
These women are the examples that the men around Edna contrast her with and from whom they obtain their expectations for her. Edna, however, finds both role models lacking and begins to see that the life of freedom and individuality that she wants goes against both society and nature. The inevitability of her fate as a male-defined creature brings her to a state of despair, and she frees herself the only way she can, through suicide.
Im not to sure because there isnt anything here but the qustion
Answer:
Option 2 is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The Tragical History of Life and Dead of Dr. Faustus was composed by Christopher Marlow. As said in the question, the excerpt belongs to scene XIII, which is also the last one. Even though the speaker mentions all the other options (which could make all the answers correct), the line that follows the given excerpt continues by saying "...which I saw of slate,/Whose sweet embraces may extinguish clean...", making this option the correct one.
