Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who lived during Colonial America. Her poems reflected elements of her personal life. In this poem, her house has burned and she has lost all of her possessions. Read the last two stanzas (lines 43-54). How do these lines reflect aspects of her Puritan beliefs?
A) She relies on her own work ethic to build her another house.
B) She is so distraught that she wishes she had died in the fire.
C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.
D) She prays for an architect from town to come build her a new home.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.
Explanation:
In the last two stanzas of her poem "Verses upon the Burning of our House, July 10th, 1666", author Anne Bradstreet calls God the mighty Architect. She does not seem to repine over the house she has lost to the fire. Quite the contrary, she is faithful to the belief that her permanent home is the spiritual one waiting for her in heaven. That is a reflection of her Puritan beliefs. This world is nothing but a passageway for the next and most important one. She does not need to suffer over material losses because what truly matters is the spirit. As she says in the last line of the poem, "My hope and treasure lies above."
You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation".
Answer:
With the use of oxymoron, Turkle meant that we live constantly alone, but always in "contact" with the people we care about through technology. This statement influences the entire article showing how this ability is affecting our personal relationships.
Explanation:
The article shows how technology has enabled an atificial and shallow form of community. This is because technology allows us to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world, however, this communication does not form bonds and we are always alone.
However, we are alone in a collective way, since all people use this same type of communication. This results in the creation of large groups, which in fact do not exist, are not substantial. As the author of the article says, technology makes us come "a tribe of one."
Answer:
O First, I needed to act as if the ridicule didn't bother me at all.
I believe you are referring to this text:
<span>In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.
From the text, the descriptive detail that best aids the reader to visualize the central topic which is a specific early Victorian tea set is "</span><span>some of the most expensive stoneware</span>".
The only to covince the students to advance in life was by reasoning with them.
