Answer:

We can best infer that Sickles had good lawyers because:

C) He used the very first temporary insanity defense.

Explanation:

This question refers to Daniel Edgar Sickles, an American soldier and politician who, in 1859, short to death his wife's lover. Sickles was an influential and well-connected man. He received several visits from important people while in jail, and <u>made sure to secure very capable and efficient people as his lawyers. As a matter of fact, it was in his trial that "temporary insanity" was used for the first time in history. According to his lawyers, Sickle had temporarily lost his mind due to the rage of finding out his wife was having an affair. Therefore, he was not himself when he shot her lover to death. His lawyers also made sure to leak certain information to newspapers and get everybody talking about the case as tactics to ensure the result they wanted. They were successful and Sickles was acquitted.</u>

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The theme chosen for the rehearsal was: The importance of the wedding gift for Indian culture.

Explanation:

Wedding gifts are a very important point to highlight in the most different cultures in the world. In all regions, this type of gift is very welcome and while some countries, the gift does not have to be something thought out, elaborated (and sometimes not even given), in India it is taken very seriously.

For the Indians, the wedding gift means a lot to the bride and groom and always has to be given an object that is very useful and functional that helps in domestic life and brings beauty to the home.

Plates, cutlery, glasses, furniture are the most prominent wedding gifts in this culture. This says a lot about the affection and care that guests have with the bride and groom. This indicates that the guests want to help with domestic life.

This vision of the present is very beneficial because it avoids the economic expense and the purchase of expensive, garish things that are useless, besides occupying space and dust. In addition, gift-giving narrows the bonds between families and friends, which is one of the most important bonds we have.

Match each description to the correct form of ode,
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Pindaric

1 A ceremonious poem created by an ancient Greek poet who lived in the fifth century BC.

2 A poem that consists of a three-part structure: a strophe, an antistrophe, and an epode.

Irregular

1 A poem that doesn't follow any set structure and is open to experimentation.

2 A rhymed ode that doesn't have a fixed number of lines per stanza.

Explanation:

Pindaric or Pindaric ode is named after the great Greek poet Pindar described as the greatest lyrical poet. Pindar lived about 5th century B.C. Pindaric odes consist of three parts: 1 strophe, antistrophe and epode. The strophe and antistrophe have the same meter and length; while the epode has a different meter and length.

Irregular Odes have some of the elements (usually tone and subject) of the classic odes (either Pindaric or Horatian), while they are free in experimenting with rhyme and structure.

There is also a third type of odes called Horatian ode named after Roman poet Horace. It has a regular stanza pattern. Horatian odes are usually more thoughtful and meant for personal enjoyment as compared with Pindaric ode.
