Answer:
Art never was in critical conditions, it has always evolve to something different but never was in risk of being erased from earth.
Explanation:
Critical conditions is a term use in medicine to describe complications in a patient, specially when the person is in a really delicate state and his life is at risk. When using this term in art we can appreciate that art has never been at risk of dying, it only changes to different types and forms.
I feel that the theme in these lines has something to do with law, ruling, listening, obeying and being in charge.
A few quote examples to help support this theme is/are: "...girls usually side with their mother...."
"...her authority in the home shrank as my mother's authority gradually extended..."
"... the law of life..."
"...obey the law readily and willingly."
The answer is D. Mr. Kraler's struggle regarding what to do about the employee who is blackmailing him.
I don't know which edition you're referring to. I suppose the lines 43-58 are actually the third paragraph. So, here's the answer:
The narrator's relationship with her husband has changed because of a supernatural influence that she can't exactly explain or fathom. She doesn't really know what happened, when, or why, but at night her husband was not the same person she married. "It’s the moon’s fault, and the blood. It was in his father’s blood," she reasons. Her husband is alienated because of this, and somehow she feels that they don't belong together anymore. He goes out to find those who are like him. "Something comes over the one that’s got the curse in his blood, they say, and he gets up because he can’t sleep, and goes out into the glaring sun, and goes off all alone — drawn to find those like him."
B. It inserts the reader into a state of wanting more, and it leaves them in suspense, like a cliffhanger in a television show.
Hope this helps!
