The correct answer is D. Shelley was an introverted child who spent much of her time wandering the countryside

Explanation:

Mary Shelley who is mainly known for being the author of the novel "Frankenstein" was an English novelist during the 19th century. During her childhood, Mary Shelley grew up without his mother as she died after Shelley was born due to puerperal fever, instead her father and sister were in charge of growing up Mary. In general terms, despite the absence of her mother, the childhood of Shelley was rather happy, but after her father married again and Mary was not sent to school she started spending time reading from her father library and writing stories and poems outside of the house while wandering and staying in the countryside. Thus, even when Mary was not a neglected child during the first years of her life she was mainly introvert as she focused on reading and writing mostly in the countryside rather than playing with other kids.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The excerpt claims that Johnson's work is significant because he:

B. searched literature and found more words.

Explanation:

<u>According to the excerpt, dictionaries were quite limited. To write one that was as complete as possible, Johnson had a lot of work. First, he began by reading books. By searching literature, he was able to add more words to the ones dictionaries had already provided him with. Then, he moved on to the difficult but certainly rewarding task of gleaning words from "living speech," which can be quite a chaotic job.</u> He did not change the format of dictionaries, he did not apply rules to make language less chaotic, nor did he select only the most difficult words to define. Therefore, the correct option is letter B.

In about two hundred words, show what you understand about the literary devices used in the plot development of Things Fall Apar
Alexandra [31]

There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.

One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.

Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.

Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.

mylen [45]

Answer:Teleological proof or argument

Explanation:The teleological or physico-theological argument, is the one which is based on the fact that if all premises about the natural world are true and one agrees that they are this means that the drawn conclusion is also true about the existence of God. This is an argument used mostly to observe how true premises in the natural world are and due to these evidence drawn from the evidence of the designs seen in the natural world one can not help but conclude that they must be a sovereign God who is responsible for all those designs .

The conclusion is true when all the premises are all true.
