Which story premise most clearly contains a supernatural element?

English
1 answer:
Greeley [361]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. Every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy

Explanation:

In english, we say that an element is supernatural when it cannot be explicable by scientific laws and therefore cannot be proven as real. Examples of supernatural things are: miracles, ghosts, angels, demons, ufos, superstitions.

Looking at the options we have, option C mentions that every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy. We can see that this is an example of superstition since something terrible is related to the fact that the bell rings or not. Thus, this is an example of a supernatural element.

Options A and D don't have supernatural elements (a haunted house is made by people so it's not supernatural). Option B has the luck element but it's just a thought the Dr has and not really a supernatural element.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<u>it makes it interesting.</u>

Explanation:

Remember, in the story resolution, we are told;

"Victor decides that he likes Mr. Bueller and that seventh grade is going to be a good year". Since Victor had falsely claimed he could speak french in class in other to impress a girl in his French class named Teresa, it becomes interesting when we discover that his little strategy had worked on Teresa as we could see from the attachment.

Which statement best explains this excerpt from act v, scene I, of Twelfth Night? SEBASTIAN: [to OLIVIA] So comes it, lady, you
Feliz [49]
This scene comes at the end of the play, as all has been revealed. In this scene, 

Sebastian says: "<span>So comes it, lady, you have been mistook." By this he means that Olivia has been mistaken, or wrong. He continues, "But nature to her bias drew in that." By this he means, nature has fixed your error and made it right.
 
He explains, "You would have been contracted to a maid," meaning that Olivia would have married a maiden, or a young woman. However, he continues by saying, "Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived; You are betroth'd both to a maid and man." He means that Olivia is not entirely deceived, or not entirely wrong. He says that Olivia married both a young woman AND a young man. He does not mean this literally, of course, since that isn't quite what happened. Instead, he means that the love Olivia had for Sebastian's sister has been transferred into a love for him. And, since he is still a virgin, he is a "maiden" as well as a man.</span>

Now, let's look at the statements:

<span>Sebastian explains that the case of mistaken identity has worked in Olivia’s favor because she has married Sebastian, not Viola.
-- This statement best summarizes Sebastian's words to Olivia. 

Sebastian says that Olivia has mistakenly married a woman instead of a man, which goes against the "bias" of nature.
-- Olivia has not mistakenly married a woman; therefore, this statement would not be correct.

Sebastian is mocking Olivia because she married someone without really knowing that person's identity.
-- Sebastian is not mocking Olivia at all; instead, he is trying to explain how Olivia's mistake worked in their favor after all.

Sebastian is congratulating Olivia for marrying a great man and hiring a maid to help with her household.
-- Olivia has not married a maid to help with her household; this statement as a result is not correct.

Sebastian is unwilling to get married and tells Olivia that it would be a mistake to expect him to do so. 
</span>-- This is not at all what he is saying, as he is in love with Olivia; this statement would not be correct.

Martha wins three games of backgammon in a row, even though she has never played before. If Martha assumes she has “beginner’s l
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The answers to fill in the blanks in this question, would be: Martha wins three games of backgammon in a row, even though she has never played before. If Martha assumes she has "beginners luck", she is making an external unstable attribution about her success; if she decides backgammon is an easy game, she is making an external stable attribution about her success.

Explanation:

Attributions are simply defined as the way that people explain the how and the why of actions and behaviors when confronted by a particular situation. From this, a theory was derived called the Theory of Attributions, which focused on how people explain actions and reactions depending on how themselves, and their environments play a role in how these actions and reactions are expressed. As such, there are four spheres: the internal and external attributions, which means, whether it is the internal part of the person (personality, abilities, innate skills) which play the major role, or if it is external factors that play the major role in expressing actions and reaction. The further two spheres are the stable and unstable attributions. These two explain how people perceive whether it is a stable factor, or an unstable one, that forces an action and reaction. These four spheres can be combined and in the case of Martha they do. The first is external unstable because she believes her winning comes from the luck she has out of pure chance, something flitting and that can disappear at any moment, so it is external and unstable. The second is external because the reason for her being good is not due to her abilities but the game being easy, and it is stable because this will not change.
