Answer and Explanation:

Paine uses personification to show how America has the capacity to be happy to get rid of foreign domination. As we know America is a continent (although Paine is referring to the country, USA) and therefore it is an inanimate being, but the ability to be happy is something unique to living beings. When Paine uses this ability to describe a state of America, he is using personification to show how happy American citizens will be with an independent and self-sufficient America that can tackle its own challenges without being dependent on anyone, being happy.

juin [17]

Answer:

“A Retrieved Reformation”

1. At the beginning of the story, Ben Price rightly thinks that the bank robberies under investigation are committed by Jimmy Valentine, because they bear his signature style.

2. Towards the end of the story, Ben Price's opinion changed completely.  Despite Jimmy Valentine's changed identity, Ben Price, correctly recognized Jimmy Valentine after the latter confirmed his true identity by unknowingly demonstrating his stylish ingenuity by opening the locked door.  Since, Jimmy Valentine decided to surrender himself for arrest, Ben Price must have concluded that Jimmy was actually a changed man, especially now that he had fallen in love with Annabel.

Explanation:

O. Henry, the author of “A Retrieved Reformation” published the short story in 1903.  The story narrated how an ex-convict, who was wanted for a series of bank robberies, suddenly repented and relinquished the life of crime because he had fallen in love with a woman.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech "Solitude of Self" conveys that it is important for women to
Sonbull [250]

Answer: The education that will fit her to discharge the duties in the largest sphere of human usefulness will best fit her for whatever special work she may be compelled to do.

In this excerpt, Elizabeth Cady Stanton complains of the fact that women's education is determined by her relationships to other people as mothers, sisters, daughters and wives. This is true even when women do not fulfill these roles (for example, unmarried or childless women). This is different from the education of men, which is pursued by considering him an individual in his own right. She argues that, whatever work women decided to perform, their being educated would allow them to perform them in a much better way than if they were ignorant.
