In the excerpt above, the word surmounted most nearly means "CROWNED".

The extract speaks of a man, and makes special emphasis on his clothing. It details his clothes from head to toe, and after mentioning the word "surmounted" it details the conical hat and the bells he had on his head. In his clothing, these functioned as a kind of crown, from there that "surmounted" most nearly means crowned in this excerpt.

Based on this excerpt from "Porphyria's Lover” by Robert Browning, what does the setting contribute to this poem?
kiruha [24]

A. <em>The storm enhances the mysterious quality of Porphyria and her appearance </em>This is the correct option.

Robert Browning wrote this monolgue in 1836 during Victorian times. Porphyria was a mysterious woman who defied the morality of the times. She came from the simple and wild rural area; the poet was comfortable at home. He represented urban life. This sort of life was severly criticised by Victorian  people. However, Porphyria wanted to escape from the rigid Victorian way of life. This was strange and ,in the monologue ,this strange characteristic of the woman's is emphasised through the storm.

These optins are not right:

B. The power of the storm underscores Porphyria's power ( On the contrary, the storm makes her more mysterious).

C. The wildness of the storm contrasts with Porphyria's conventionality ( In fact, Porphyria is not traditonal or conventional at all. She wants to rebel against the opression of Victorian England).

D. The destructive nature of the poem echoes Porphyria's limitless passion. ( The setting of the poem is related to the storm in this excerpt. There is not any destructive tone in this excerpt. )

Based on the myth you read and what you know about the Haida, think about what inferences can be made about their ancient lifest
FrozenT [24]

1. According to the Haida myth, it is possible to realize that they lived in a warm region, which meant that they could dress in lighter and fresher fabrics, in addition to allowing them to wear few clothes. Usually the clothes were made of cedar wood and leather, however in rainy moments it was common for them to use wool.

2. The Haidas lived on an island. However, this island was part of the cumin made by some traders who were going through trade routes. This allowed the Haida to have a certain contact with other human beings, even if not a direct contact. It is possible, even, that this island had other tribes, with which the Haida could interact.

3. These types of interactions made the Haida see themselves as a single people and this sense of belonging stimulated not only a sense of community, but also a cultural sense and traditions.

4. The Haidas were excellent navigators, which gave them many advantages in trade, wars and other elements that had navigation as a factor of relevance.
