The aspect of the poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams which most clearly marks it as a work of Modernism is that:

D. It uses very few words to communicate its message.

A group of writers at the beginning of the twentieth century rejected the traditional form of writing poetry about huge subjects. Rather they opted for simple and single subjects to write the poetry. They used very few words in order to convey the message of the poem. They wrote about the objects of everyday use and not about complex topics like love and beauty.

Which statement best explains why Shakespeare has Cassius use the word fawn rather than a synonym such as flatter to describe hi

GaryK [48]

The statement that best explains why Shakespeare has Cassius use the word fawn rather than a synonym such as flatter to describe his actions is the A: Fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of another for personal gain. In the excerpt that this question is referring to, the shrewd Cassius is going to reveal some aspects of Brutus's personality, or of his behavior, that he cannot see, and he asks him to trust in him, unless he saw him flattering somebody and then slandering him on their back; in that case, Cassius concludes, Brutus could be suspicious of him. Shakespeare is using the word fawn in Cassius's speech in order to emphasize his manipulative and devious traits. The word does have a negative connotation, and it often implies disapproval of that person's actions.

What is the best summary of this paragraph?

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

For the most part of the war, armies preserved old military tactics (fieldwork) of espionage rather than fully adapting to new techniques.

Here's why the other answers are incorrect:

A) "Photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances" in comparison to the previous wars, so A is incorrect. Intelligence was, for the most part, gathered in the same ways it had been previously, but these new technologies were still utilized.

B) Photograph and the telegraph are mentioned, but they are not the main point of the paragraph. Basically, "although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances," this fact is only being mentioned in the paragraph to emphasize the minimal progress of "the means of obtaining military intelligence," as intelligence was often still "gathered in simple ways" only. Armies "still relied on fieldwork." So B is incorrect.

D) Option D only refers to one source of information in the paragraph, "runaway slaves;" it does not fully or efficiently summarize the paragraph.

The Frost performs its secret ministry, Unhelped by any wind. The owlet’s cry Came loud – and hark, again ! loud as before. The

galben [10]

A. The ‘secret ministry’ of the frost is that:

(d) it has a secret deal with nature.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge uses the word "ministry", which conveys something is working on behalf of others. It may have a religious connotation as well, as minister can also mean pastor. So the author wants to express nature as something that is alive, which is why it can have a deal with the frost. And it is secret because it falls at midnight, when everyone is asleep.

B. There is silence all around. This is seen in the phrase:

(b) all at rest.

The author says everyone else is sleeping, so aside from the owl breaking the silence twice, there is no other sound.

C. Who is sleeping in the cradle?

(c) the poet's son.

His son Hartley is the one sleeping, which is clear in the sentence "my cradled infant".

D. What disturbs the calm?

(c) the calmness.

Coleridge expresses that the calm is so deep that it is disturbing in itself in the verse:

"‘It’s calm indeed ! so calm, that it disturbs

And vexes meditation with its strange

And extreme silence."

E. The word ‘meditation’ means:

(b) deep thoughts.

The author is referring to his tendency to get lost in deep, philosophical thoughts, which he is able to do when he is by himself at night and everything is quiet.
