What theme is best revealed by this conflict? Sadness can destroy people. One must mourn before moving on. Many lives are lost t
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

One must mourn before moving on.

Explanation:

In the lines, the speaker talks about how they grateful that they still had their lives, but they were grief-stricken that their friends' lives had been lost. Before setting sail, they recognize the dead by raising a cry, three times. The best theme choice is that one must mourn before moving on. The ships do not leave port until they have mourned and saluted the lives of their friends who were lost. The other options aren't correct. There is no indicated that sadness destroyed anyone. Even though the speaker talks about the lives lost, he does not speak of them as being lost too soon. The last option is also not correct as there is no mention of lost souls.

''APEX" . Which sentence from a business letter most clearly uses biased language? A. During my last job, they practically had t
Xelga [282]

Answer: C. I look forward to working with a woman doctor soon.

Bias refers to an unfair prejudice a person has towards a particular group, person or thing. In this sentence, the author is showing a gender bias, as he prefers to work with women than with men. Whether that is a "positive" stereotype (women are more capable, they work harder, etc.) or a negative one (women are more attractive, easier to control, etc.), it gives an unfair advantage to one gender over the other one with no fair justification. Therefore, it  is to be discouraged in the workplace.

What does the speaker mean by the line "Nor hungry wolves at him shall catch" in the poem "As Weary Pilgrim, Now at Rest"?
Naily [24]

“The hungry wolves” is most likely used metaphorically for people who had ill wishes towards the pilgrim. Thinking in this line, the speaker intends to imply that these people may have snapped at the pilgrim’s heels at the slightest incitement or may even have attacked him in packs. But now that the pilgrim has been taken by death, it is no longer possible for these wolves to harm him.
