Answer and Explanation:

In his poem "O Captain! My Captain!", Whitman provides clues about the unnatural death of the captain when he mentions the blood dropping on the deck of the ship. People who die naturally - of natural causes - do not usually bleed. Bleeding is the result of being hurt, injured, be it in an accident or due to violence.

<em>O the bleeding drops of red, </em>

<em>                               Where on the deck my Captain lies, </em>

<em>                                  Fallen cold and dead.</em>

<em />

As we know, the fallen captain is none other than Abraham Lincoln, who had been shot and killed. The whole poem is a metaphor for his death as well as the victory of the Union in the Civil War. Whitman is lamenting Lincoln being gone, having been murdered before he could see and celebrate victory with the country.

mina [271]
<span>They are asking about what is known as omnipotence. Omnipotence is an idea (typically in monotheistic religions) where a single being is all-powerful. This of course raises the aforementioned question of how a being could be both all-powerful and simultaneously be merciful in a world where suffering exists. A merciful and omnipotent god should be able and willing to prevent all suffering according to this idea.</span>

katrin [286]
I think the correct answer would be the third option. The gestalt principle of proximity is the tendency to perceive objects that are close to each other as part of the same grouping. It states that if shapes are close to each other, then you would see them as groups no matter if the sizes and shapes are different from each other as long as they are close to one another. This principle of proximity is one of Gestalts principle which is focused on how every stimulus would be perceived in the most simple form. It is also called as the Law of Simplicity or the Law of Pragnanz. It is based on the principle that the whole has a greater value than its parts.

katovenus [111]
Geographic location is definitely one of those factors. I live in Europe, and have lived there my entire life, as my parents have before me, and their ancestors, so I believe that those people who decided to move here in Europe would definitely do that because of the location. I am surrounded by many important European countries and my country itself has an abundance of everything.

This takes me to the second reason, which are the resources - my country is rich in many natural resources, which my ancestors would definitely want to have around because where there are resources, there are jobs and life in general.
