The theme of Ozymandias and  Eccelesutes 2:4-11  revolves around the fact that one would be humble and not arrogant about one's achievements and success.

Explanation:

  • Perce Bysshe Shelley in his poem Ozymandias makes it very clear that with time, even the most powerful things undergo decadence. The center of his explanation is the haughty statue of king Ozymandias who was mighty king of his time and who was known for his haughtiness. With the turn of events and after several decades post his rule, his haughty statue lies destroyed and destructed which was the symbol of the end of his vehemence and arrogance.
  • In Eccelesutes 2:4-11 as well the same theme has been discussed and mentioned. The verse in Ecclesiastes 2:4-11 talks about the idea that people should not be boastful and bragging or overly proud of their worldly or mundane achievements because of these are material achievements which is not there forever  
  • P.B Shelley in Ozymandias starts by referring to the haughtiness of the king in the lines, " My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, my right there is none to dispute." These lines which are a clear testimony of the arrogance of the king and his self -proclaimed undisputable nature, however, at the end, his authority was shortlived.  Eccelesutes 2:4-11 talks about the same theme.

amm1812

The question above is incomplete, the options attached to the question are given below:

A. Contended

B. Demanding

C. Harsh

D. Hectic


ANSWER

The correct option is A.

Douglass was a slave, who had experienced the harsh reality of been a slave. He has been moved around a lot, from one master to another master; and one of the masters he served were Mr and Mrs Auld. His condition as a slave improved a little bit when he first got to the home of the Auld's. Mrs Auld has never had a slave before so she was excited to have one and did not really know how slaves were treated by other white people. So she treated Douglass not as a slave but as a human being and even went to the extent of teaching him how to read and write. But all that stopped, when Mr Auld find out that his wife has been teaching Douglass how to read and write.

Read the excerpt from Samuel Johnson's preface to A Dictionary of the English Language.
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The excerpt suggests that Johnson’s work is significant because it reflects an exhaustive study of its words.
In the excerpt above, Johnson says that he used many methods in order to compile this dictionary - he read a lot of books, used his experience, and used many analogies for readers to connect words and their meanings on their own. A is incorrect because that's not the point of a dictionary; B is incorrect because he doesn't even mention other dictionaries; D is incorrect because a dictionary cannot only list obscure words.

Which sentence from this Pride and Prejudice excerpt best supports the idea that gossipy Mrs. Bennett is also rationally minded?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

I believe the answer is A.

It could also be B too, but A seems more rationally, because if the man doesn't leaves they will not be able to go visit the person.
