In at least 100 words, explain the significance of Bartleby's mantra "I would prefer not to" in Melville's short story "Bartleby
galina1969 [7]

The choice of this phrase has a paradoxical meaning in a way that Bartleby refuses to do the task asked from him and the expression of this rejection. It is a refusal, but at the same time it is a polite refusal because even when his boss asks again "You will not?", he answers again with "I prefer not". The phrase emphasizes Bartleby's passive resistance. The different use of the phrase, of course could have had a different effect in the story. It might cause a different demonstration and a different ending for the story. The boss could have replied differently because the refusal would be not polite then. However, the choice is intentional because of the development of the story. Therefore, it is suitable in its own way.

Which two phrases in this information about Medicare prescription drug coverage are noun phrases?
Anon25 [30]

A noun phrase is formed by a noun or pronoun, this one receives the name of the head, and any dependent words before or after the head. Dependent words are the ones that give specific details about the head. An example of a noun phrase can be: <em>a quantifier + a determiner + an adjective + a noun.</em> However, there are some others that are longer and with more dependent words.

Following this concept the two noun phrases in the text are:

<em>1. Senior citizens and others who need medical assistance  </em>

<em>2. The subset of the US population with Medicare</em>

Answer:

C. third-person point of view

Explanation:

First, let's break down what first-person, second-person, and third-person point of views are.

First-person is when the narrator is addressing themselves. It's like when you write in a journal or diary. It uses words like "I" or "me" to talk about themself and what happened to them. For example: "I saw a cat on the road to today. It waved to me."

Second-person is when the narrator is addressing to you. It uses words like "you" to talk to the reader. Usually this is used in speeches or commercials. For example: "You saw a cat on the road today. It waved to you."

Third-person is when the narrator is not one of the characters but is addressing them. It uses words like "he" or "she" to talk about the characters. For example: "He saw a cat on the road to today. It waved at him."

Now that you know all the different kinds of point-of-views, we can answer the question. You have to look at the pronouns(he,she,they, etc) that the author is using. If you look back to the passage, the author uses "her" and "she."

This is definitely not first-person because first-person uses "I."

This isn't second-person because second-person uses "you."

This is third-person because third person uses "she." The answer is third-person point of view.
