Answer: D. Dante believed betrayal is the worst sin because of the pain it causes others.

Treachery, or betrayal, was considered by Dante to be the worst sin of all. Therefore, those who commited it during their lifetime were placed in the ninth circle of Hell. This was the last circle, and the one where Lucifer was imprisoned.

Some historical and mythological characters that are imprisoned here are Nimrod (created the Tower of Babel), Ephialtes (tried to storm Mount Olympus), Cassius and Brutus (who betrayed Julius Caesar) and Judas Iscariot (who betrayed Jesus Christ).

Think about the author's attitude toward the oil spill. Then explain the author's purpose, or reason for writing this editorial.
Natalka [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The author's purpose or reason for writing this editorial was to inform and make people conscious about the terrible oil spill in April 2010in the Gulf of México, with the explosion of a British Petroleum rig. This spill caused so much damage to the ecosystem and the environment of the Gulf of México.

The two details from the text that support the answer are the following. The author, Kate Jackson, writes that the BP company knew about the possibility of an accident of this magnitude but it didn't do anything to prevent it. She said that David Rainey, an executive form British Petroleum, had assured the members of the Senate that the facility had no risk of a spill.

The other detail that supports the answer is that she wrote that the oil industry always had been aware of the dangers of spills but never has done so much to prevent them. Also, people like Robert Bea, an offshore engineer, had warned British Petroleum.

Read the claim from Dan DeLuca's editorial "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics Are Poetry."
bija089 [108]

Answer: "Salman Rushdie, a Nobel candidate himself, called Dylan ‘the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition.’"

Explanation:

This excerpt is the one who is supporting the claim that rock lyrics are poetry because it is connecting music with lyrics and the writer's abilities to express himself through his music.

Bob Dylan has won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016 although he is a well-known musician, not a writer. His lyrics are considered poetry and in this excerpt, he is connected with bardic tradition which is referring to eighteenth-century writers that were located in Ireland and Scotland. They were also reciters of poetry while playing instruments such as lyre and harp.
