The statement that best explains why Shakespeare has Cassius use the word <em>fawn</em> rather than a synonym such as <em>flatter</em> 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 <em>fawn </em>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.
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.
<span>Because he was an extremely religious person and found peace and salvation in faith because he was blind, he was a very nice and good person. People generally used to take advantage of him, because he was so nice, yet he did nothing to confront them. Only when he got married did his wife stand up for her husband and did the community start respecting him. </span><span>

The inference is best supported by these lines is C. Prospero uses bullying and intimidation to control Caliban.
Explanation:
The meaning of these lines shows that Prospero is threatening Caliban with doing painful things to him.
The facts that are told at the end of the story are in sharp contrast to those that unleash the tragedy that Desiree and her son have to live. Only in the last few lines we discover that her husband knows the true cause of the dark color of the child's skin, which derives from the color of his own mother and has nothing to do with the unknown facts that cover the real origin of Desiree, since his filiation was not known from the beggining.
The irony is graphed in the fact that Desiree's husband could not have ignored that his mother was a dark-skinned woman, as he lived with her for the first eight years of his life and in addition to that, in the end, we also got to know that he was in possession of that letter that informed him the truth, in the probably event that he had forgotten it over the years.
The mistreatment he gave to his slaves was then the most important contradiction, although we can observe that his character softens after the birth of his son, even so having to see him daily was probably a permanent reminder of a shame he was trying to leave behind.
