Answer:

Delighted with their plan—impatiently—

they waited for the close of day.

Explanation:

Ovid's "Pyramus and Thisbe" is from his Metamorphosis that tells the love story of two young lovers who were denied the happy ending due to their family's refusal to allow their love to flower. And like loyal lovers, the two met their deaths on the very night they had planned to elope and ran away.

The line that reveals the plot detail is "Delighted with their plan—impatiently— they waited for the close of day." These two lines reveal the moment these two lovers decided on their plan and thus, signify the rising action of the story. It shows the moment these two will act to save their love and be united, despite the opposition from both their parents.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

C. Providing an example of a disease that commonly manifests during Level 3

Explanation:

An anorexic person is one who has a eating disorder that causes him/her to be obsessive with what they eat as well as their weight. It is characterised by an inordinate fear of being overweight

The author was discussing around man's needs & how that man cannot escape those basic needs. Maslows introduced the concept of hierarchy of needs & classified them into 5 strata namely: psychological, security/safety, social, esteem & self-actualization (the Maslows pyramid is attached). Maslows proposed that people would fulfil the fundamental needs before moving on to other needs. As such, an anorexic is only trying to shy away from his/her fundamental & basic need (in this case, food). But much more in this case, the anorexic person is staying off food to fulfil his/her social need (to 'belong' & be accepted). We see that anorexia can be an offshoot of social need

Hence, the author is pointing out a disease that could arise on the third level of the hierarchical needs. This means option C is the correct answer
