Answer:

Line 12 suggests that:

B Lovers who once did what women say, eventually become controlling husbands.

Explanation:

The line we are analyzing here was taken from the poem "Verses Written by a Young Lady, on Women Born to Be Controll'd!" Let's take a look at the context:

<em>The tyrant husband next appears,  </em>

<em>With awful and contracted brow;  </em>

<em>No more a lover’s form he wears:  </em>

<em>Her slaves become her sovereign now</em>

<em />

<u>According to the poem, a man who is in love with a woman will do anything to please her. He will appeal to her heart, make her feel loved and cherished. However, upon marrying her, he is no longer willing to work hard for her affection. Having secured her, he is now her owner, her boss, and will make sure to treat her in a way that makes that very clear.</u> This poem, written by an anonymous writer, expresses the awful fate of women - destined to be subservient to someone, be it a father, a brother, or a husband. Never free, never her own boss.

In this quote, and in the entire essay, what is Swift saying about the view and value of personhood in his society? Is there any
Snezhnost [94]

According to a different source, this question refers to the essay "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.

Although we do not know what the quote you are referencing is, we are able to explain the claims that Swift makes throughout the entire essay.

In this essay, Swift makes a commentary about the view and value of personhood in his society. In this essay, he argues that poor Irish families should sell their children to wealthy English people in order for them to be eaten. Although the claim is absurd, what Swift wants to convey is that people value the lives of the poor, as well as the lives of the Irish, as less important than the lives of rich English people. In his society, such prejudice prevents people from valuing all lives equally.

This essay continues to be relevant today. Nowadays, we still believe some people are less worthy than others. For example, we care deeply about celebrities dying, but we do not care much about the hundreds of people who die from war or poverty everyday. As a society, the poor, the elderly, and foreigners are often seen as "less worthy" because of our prejudice. This view is also influenced by values in society pushed by the media, such as the celebration and admiration of extremely wealthy people.

Read the paragraph.
devlian [24]

Answer:

The best option here is D) There are many ways to teach a child about responsibility besides taking care of a dog, such as homework and other activities

Explanation:

Lets use the method of elimination to justify this.

A) is a repetition of Sentence 3. So this is out of the equation.

B) communicates an idea that is contrary to the theme of the paragraph which can be summarised as "Teaching a Child to responsibility as well as manage himself and other tasks". Responsibility means doing all that you ought to do without prejudice to the other by taking each one at the right time

C) States that taking care of the family do is priority. Again this runs contrary to the main idea of the paragraph.

Having eliminated A, B and C, we are left with D.

Sentence D simply implies that a there are a number of things which teach a child how to be responsible, taking care of a dog, doing his or her homework and carrying out other activities are examples of such.

Cheers!
