Explanation:

In English, we use the Indirect speech to transmit someone's words, statements, messages, etc. without quoting them explicitly.

Which type of martial union occurs between people of different social backgrounds

babymother [125]

Answer:

The marital union that occurs between people of different social origins is called Mixed Marriage.

Explanation:

There are two types of mixed marriages: by religion or by nationality. Mixed marriages by religion are those in which one of the members of the couple believes and the other does not, or that each has faith in a belief. The mixed by nationality, is in our case, when the members were not born in the same country.

In the case of a mixed marriage by nationality the bureaucracy is a little larger. The board usually asks for witnesses to answer a series of questions, which are also made to the couple, to make sure that it is not a marriage for convenience. In this case, it is advisable to take photos of trips, to prove that there is a relationship.

For the engaged couple that one has faith and the other does not, they should ask for a dispensation to celebrate the mixed marriage where it is stated in writing that the education of the children will be of Catholic faith. Therefore, one of the two must be baptized.

What example does Alan Weisman give to show that nature has little concern

Flura [38]

Answer:

Option B. An example that Alan Weisman gives to show that nature has little concern for things that humans find important is <u>paintings in museums.</u>

Explanation:

American journalist Alan Weisman wrote a non-fiction book called "The World Without Us" in which he theorizes about what would happen to our planet and everything we have created and built, if humanity suddenly disappeared. Written as a thought experiment, the author explains that if humans disappeared, nature would restore itself everywhere, and by doing so, it would little by little destroy everything that humans considered vital and important, like paintings in museums. Valuable pieces of art that we, as humans, take great care of, would be destroy and ruined by the force of nature.

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,

By the shining Big-Sea-Water,

Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,

Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.

Dark behind it rose the forest,

Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,

Rose the firs with cones upon them;

Bright before it beat the water,

Beat the clear and sunny water,

Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "The Song of Hiawatha")

We rest.—A dream has power to poison sleep;

We rise.—One wandering thought pollutes the day;

We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;

Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:

(Percy Shelley, "Mutability")

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
