Answer: The right answer is the D) The noose.

Explanation: Although the railroad tracks (since the protagonists of this story were standing in a railroad bridge twenty feet above the ground), the cannon (which was pointing towards the bridge) and the wooden planks (where the prisoner and his executioners were standing) could be also arguably interpreted as motifs that represent being trapped, since they were meant to prevent Peyton Farquhar from escaping alive, the noose is certainly the more obvious, since, tightened around his neck and attached to a timber above his head, it limited his movements and inevitably subjected him to his captors' will.

Montano1993 [528]

Part A was which statement best states the claim, or main point, that Bacon builds upon in this passage?

A. Holding high office causes people to do evil.

B. Holding high office is one of the noblest aspirations.

C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

D. Holding high office helps people serve others in many ways.

Answer:

C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

Explanation:

The statement that best states the claim that Bacon made in the passage is the third statement because it shows that holding high office comes at a great cost and that highly placed powerful people are really servants, both to the state, fame, or business which takes away a degree of their freedom.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

What generalization can the reader make about the Chuzzlewit Museum?
zimovet [89]
It is quite complicated to choose one of the generalization because they tend not to state the general idea of the excerpt. However, I would say that the best option is D  "<span>It is close to Nickleby High School". So students seem to be used to go there, they go on a Saturday and they could come across other classmates.
