Answer:

c. the revelation of how Macduff was born

d. the news that soldiers carrying boughs from Birnam Wood are approaching

Explanation:

Shakespeare's famous play, Macbeth, is a story about the Scottish general, his attempt to become a king and preserve the position. Macbeth is told by the three witches that no man born of woman will be able to harm him, as well as that he is safe until Birnam wood starts moving. Macbeth believes in what they say, ensured that his position as a king could not be compromised. However, towards the end of the play, Malcolm and his army are approaching the castle, camouflaged with the trees from the forest, and Macbeth realizes that he has been misled by the witches' prophecy. This becomes even more clear on the battlefield, when he finds out that Macduff was born by Caesarean section - he was not, in fact, "of woman born."

Answer:

"How scaped am I killing when I crossed you so? / O insupportable and touching loss!"

"My heart is thirsty for that noble pledge. / Fill, Lucius, till the wine o', Roswell the cup."

Explanation:

The tribunes of Marallus and Flavius led to the disruption of a gathering of the Roman citizens who wanted to celebrate the triumph of Caesar after he returned safely from the war. The victory was to marl the free game that Mark had taken part in. This made the arena stop Caesar, and he was warned that he should be informed about the Ides. Therefore Brutus and Cacius suspected the reactions of Caesar because of the public power he had held. And because of this, they had a fear that he will not be an emperor.

Which sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich show that Ivan Ilyich has realized the hypocrisy of

aleksley [76]

Among the sentences in the excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I think the statement that shows that Ivan Ilyich has realized the hypocrisy of his earlier life is: "Ivan Ilyich knows quite well and definitely that all this is nonsense and pure deception, but when the doctor, getting down on his knee, leans over him, putting his ear first higher then lower, and performs various gymnastic movements over him with a significant expression on his face, Ivan Ilyich submits to it all as he used to submit to the speeches of the lawyers, though he knew very well that they were all lying and why they were lying." This is because in his earlier life before he was terminally ill, he too also submitted to the lawyers in order to work his way up on the social ladder.

Read the following excerpt from "Notes of a Native Son" by James Baldwin:

Reil [10]

Answer:

C. The author refers to the evil of Sodom and Gomorrah to suggest a comparison to the contemporary city of New Orleans.

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure that is used to describe something without directly referring to it and explicitly saying what it is, but by using some different ideas, usually knowledgable to a wider audience.

That is why the author here refers to what he imagines in New Orleans as Sodom and Gomorrah. He refers to the well known Biblical story about the cities where many vile people lived who did harm and sins, so God destroyed them at the end as a punishment for their outrageous behavior.

By alluding to these Biblical places and stories, the author is trying to say us all the worst possible happenings were present to see in New Orleans, and still are, as he is still "to this day" making that mental connection.
