Which line in this excerpt from "The Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope suggests that women in eighteenth-century England were

expected to readily accept proposals from rich gentlemen without much opposition?
What dire offence from am'rous causes springs,
What mighty contests rise from trivial things,
I sing — This verse to Caryl, Muse! is due:
This, ev'n Belinda may vouchsafe to view:
Slight is the subject, but not so the praise,
If She inspire, and He approve my lays.

Say what strange motive, Goddess! could compel
A well-bred Lord t' assault a gentle Belle?
O say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
Could make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?
In tasks so bold, can little men engage,
And in soft bosoms dwells such mighty Rage?

I'd say that the lines <span>this excerpt from "The Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope that suggest that women in eighteenth-century England were expected to readily accept proposals from rich gentlemen without much opposition are the following ones:

</span><span>O say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
Could make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?

You can see that the author is confused why the girl rejected the proposal.</span>

The correct answer is:

[O say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,

Could make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?]


The poet is wondering why a girl would ever reject a man who is hitting on her and wants to marry her. It is implied that women had no say in this - that their marriage depended solely on the man and that they couldn't choose at all. The entire poem is quite satirical and meant to mock these kinds of ideas and behaviors.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

<em>The right answer is letter C - </em><em>that the speaker is able to see and feel her faith in eveything that surrounds her.</em>

<em>In this poem the poet explains why she stays at home during sabbath instead of going to church. She describes how the choir is replaced by a bobolink and a sexton, and that she doesn't need to go anywhere in particular as the "orchard"  outside can be likened to church "dome". </em><em>Emily feels her faith is not bound to any place but rather it can be found in everything around her.</em>

Compare and contrast letter to a young refugee from another and farewell to manzanar
abruzzese [7]

Letter to a Young Refugee from another and Farewell to Manzanar are both stories about struggles of families inside a refugee camp for the former and internment camp for the latter. In the “Letter to a Young refugee” which took place in Guam after the Vietnam war, Lam addresses another refugee he saw in the news to relate his previous experience. The theme is more like, “I know what you are going through.”

In “Farewell to Manzanar”, the main character went back to the old camp in Manzanar much later in her life to reflect on what used to be her life there as a displaced Japanese in America.
