Read the excerpts from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe" and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. "Pyramus and Thisbe" They owed their firs

t encounters to their living close beside each other—but with time, love grows. Theirs did—indeed they wanted to be wed, but marriage was forbidden by their parents; yet there's one thing that parents can't prevent: the flame of love that burned in both of them. Romeo and Juliet Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. What statement best describes the relationship between these works? Both works show a marriage denied; only Shakespeare offers background. Both works show young people in love; only Shakespeare suggests limitations. Both works show young people in love; only Shakespeare describes the setting. Both works show a marriage denied; only Shakespeare mentions families.

Answer: A. Both works show a marriage denied; only Shakespeare offers background.

Explanation: In both the given excerpts from "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and "Pyramus and Thisbe" by Ovid, we can see the description of a young couple in love, that wanted to get married and couldn't. In the excerpt from Pyramus and Thisbe, it only says that the marriage was forbidden by their parents, but it doesn't explain why, in contrast, in the excerpt from Romeo and Juliet, the author explains that the marriage was forbidden because of their parents' strife (it provides background).

An air mass changes _____.
nikklg [1K]

The correct answer is C, as an air mass changes the weather of the area over which it moves.

An air mass is defined as a large portion of air, with a horizontal extension of several hundred kilometers, whose physical properties, especially temperature, moisture content and vertical temperature gradient, are more or less uniform.

Between two air masses fronts are formed, which can have different temperatures.

The cold front is a band of instability that occurs when a mass of cold air approaches a hot air mass. The cold air, being more dense, generates a "wedge" and gets under warm and less dense air.

The cold fronts move quickly. They are strong and can cause atmospheric disturbances such as thunderstorms, squalls, tornadoes, strong winds and short snowstorms before the cold front passes, accompanied by dry conditions as the front advances.

The warm front is the front of a warm air mass that moves to replace a cold air mass. Generally, with the passage of the warm front the temperature and humidity increase, the pressure drops and although the wind changes it is not as pronounced as when a cold front passes.

An occluded front is formed when a slower moving hot front is followed by a cold front with faster displacement. The cold wedge-shaped front reaches the hot front and pushes it upwards. The two fronts continue moving one behind the other and the line between them is what forms the occluded front.

Finally the stationary front is a limit between two air masses, of which none is strong enough to replace the other.

What is the overall tone of this poem? Hap by Thomas Hardy If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh:
rjkz [21]
In Thomas Hardy's <em>Hap</em>, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the <em>reality </em>(by his perspective) which is that his <em>bad luck </em>in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence. 

Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.

Therefore, your best answer is reflective.

Do you think the poem wind is a didatic poem? what moral values does it preach?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

I think the poem "Wind" is a didactic poem.

Explanation:

A didactic poem is a poem that has moral lessons.

"Wind" by SUBRAMANIA BHARATI is a didactic poem that talks about the wind which is blowing and makes a request that it doesn't scatter the papers of the book but it does and also brings rain.

"Wind, come softly.

Don’t break the shutters of the windows.

Don’t scatter the papers.

Don’t throw down the books on the shelf.

There, look what you did — you threw them all down.

You tore the pages of the books.

You brought rain again."

In the latter part of the poem, the poet advises that we build strong homes that won't be destroyed by strong winds.

Another moral lesson is that he advises that we make our minds and bodies firm so we can withstand the difficulties of life.

"So, come, let’s build strong homes,

Let’s joint the doors firmly.

Practise to firm the body.

Make the heart steadfast.

Do this, and the wind will be friends with us.

The wind blows out weak fires."
