Answer:

3. She would be publicly humiliated.

Explanation:

Charles Dickens' novel <em>Great Expectations</em> tells the story of an orphan boy named Pip. Despite his childhood of poverty, through a secret benefactor, he became a respectable gentleman and came back for Estella.

Miss Havisham is the guardian of Estella. Pip had visited them when he was a young boy. In Chapter XXII, Mr. Herbert was telling Pip about Miss Havisham who had been engaged to be married to a man named Compeyson. But on the day of their wedding, the groom sent a note telling her that he will not be present for the wedding. This event would have embarrassed her, more like left her mortified so much that she did not even move out of the house or seen the sun. She even set the time of her clocks to the exact time she was jilted- <em>"twenty minutes to nine"</em>. This experienced would have publicly humiliated her, for a woman during the Victorian era.

Thus, the correct answer is option 3.

Which of the following is an action taken during the editing process? A. Replacing specific examples with general statements B.
Mrac [35]
In my opinion, the answer is D, varying sentence lengths. Meaning that you should have simple, compound, and complex sentences, and vary them. Because you should always have specific examples, not general statements. Cliches should be avoided. And paragraph indentation isn't the crucial element in a paper.

Finish this simile: English class is like...
Law Incorporation [45]

English class is like receiving presents on your birthday

or

English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.


<span>Similes are comparisons using the words “like” or “as” in order to give readers a better sense of understanding when there may otherwise be little understanding or not the understanding a writer wishes to convey. What this means is that authors will compare something that may not be known to readers to something that most likely will be known in order to present the best image understood by the most readers.  Because not everyone may have the same perspective of an English class as you, for instance, one way to convey an idea of what English class is to you, the use of a simile would work well.  If you enjoyed your English class you might compare it to something you know your general audience enjoys and write something like “English class is like receiving presents on your birthday” because of how each day’s knowledge is wonderful surprising experience for you.  If you hated English class, you might write something like English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.  As you can see the use of similes make writing more expressively.</span>
