Answer:

The reason that Mrs. Whitaker rejects Galaad's offer of the apple of the Hesperides while accepting his other two gifts is:

The apple of Hesperides represents Mrs. Whitaker's past.  She does not want to return to her youth, out of free choice, even though she is enamored of youthful exuberance.

Explanation:

Neil Gaiman's collection of short stories, entitled "Smoke and Mirrors" (1998), has a second tale christened "Chivalry."  The theme of "Chivalry" is about love, growing old, and personal choices. This Neil Gaiman's Christmas special is the story of Mrs Whitaker, who finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop.  When approached by a Knight for the Holy Grail, she chose, in exchange, some precious stones, instead of the apple of the Hesperides, which could have returned her youth, a youth she remembered with nostalgia.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The final sentence contributes to the end o the article to show we might have fun by doing something one way instead of the other and that we don't know we can enjoy it before doing it.

Explanation:

The sentences are used to point out that sometimes we act based on someone else's thoughts or opinions, and that might be not true. Also, sometimes we can find incredible experiences by trying to achieve our objectives by doing one action instead of others. That there is an infinite amount of probability we can't perceive what could be of value because we have not experienced it.

Samuel Johnson was first to point out the similarities in style and content of some poets of the Jacobean and Carolinian periods
Tom [10]
Metaphysical poetry in the seventeenth century broke away from conventions of lyrical poetry. The difference is apparent in the choice of cacophonous imagery...

Johnson put five poets in this category: John Donne, Andrew Marvel, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, and Henry Vaughan. However, they never worked as an organized literary movement. They didn't even read each other. It is only today that we can consider them akin.

As for cacophonous imagery, it was one of their foremost characteristics. The word choices and similes would often be shocking and unusual, not just for their own time but even later. For example, comparing two lovers' souls with two compasses in Donne's A Valediction Forbidding Mourning.
