The correct answer is Purgatorio (purgatory).
The Divine Comedy is the title of Dante Alighieri's long narrative poem written back in 1320. The poem consists of three parts: Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise). It tells the story of the poet himself, going through Hell and Purgatory on his way to Paradise, where he wants to meet his beloved Beatrice.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Goemon jumped up. "Agreed," he said, jamming his "knife" into his sash and slashing at Manjiro’s "sword." Their imaginary swords clashed and clattered as they lunged or leaped aside to avoid being hit. Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace?
A. "imaginary" and "aside"
B. "sash" and "swords"
C. "slashing" and "lunged"
D. "Goeman" and "Manjiro"
Answer:
The words that contribute most to the excerpt's pace are C. "slashing" and "lunged".
Explanation:
<u>When we think of pace, we think of rhythm, of moving fast, slow, with regularity, with cadence, etc. </u>The words an author uses help readers feel the pace of what is being described more intensely. <u>If the characters are acting or moving fast, or if conflicts are developing slowly, the only way for readers to visualize that is through the author's word-choice. In the case of the excerpt we are studying here, we can say the writer establishes a fast pace through the use of the words "slashing" and "lunged". Both words imply rapidity of movement, celerity, quickness and, for that reason, has the readers imagining the scene in a vivid, accelerated manner.</u>
Dear Principal.
I come through this letter to emphasize attitudes that should be discouraged in our students and encouraged in our teachers, to make the learning process in our school more effective and strengthened, in addition to making the school life more harmonious.
In relation to students, I believe it would be beneficial if the practice of sitting, or even lying down, in the library corridors were prohibited. I have seen that many students tend to do this type of activity, which impairs the circulation of people in the library and can even cause accidents that put both the students and the library's collection at risk. A second practice among students that should be avoided is the use of calculators during classes that involve calculations. This should be avoided because, although the calculator is an efficient tool, it prevents students from being able to understand the calculation and exact it.
Among teachers, I believe it is important to encourage patience, as some of them have been a little impatient when complex concepts are not quickly understood by students. I also believe that they should encourage students to take more notes, as I have noticed that students learn more by copying than by receiving class material by email, or by handouts.
Thank you for your time and ask you to take my recommendations into account.
Graciously,
Mary Smith.
Senior Prefect
Hi FallDownGuys,
Your Question:
Read the excerpt from Act III, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence: Romeo, come forth; come forth, thou fearful man: Affliction is enamour’d of thy parts, And thou art wedded to calamity. What is the meaning of the phrase "thou art wedded to calamity”? You have not had enough disaster in your life. You often have disaster around you. Your marriage will be a complete disaster. Your confusion is the cause of many disasters
Answer:
Your marriage will be a complete disaster.
The reason its the answer i choose because it states in the sentence "thouh art wedded" which means they got married and the fact that it says calamity at the end states the marriage wont last due to the disasters that will happen between them.
Calamity - "an event causing great and often sudden damage or distress; a disaster."
Wedded - getting married
