The excerpt that best states the central idea of the second paragraph of The Dark Game is: This matter of geography affected the spies who worked behind enemy lines.
There were a lot of times when America was helped and at the same time harmed during significant events in history because of the spy system. One example is when George Washington crumpled the British when he sought help from spies and their network.
Answer:
In this xcerpt from Frankenstein which most clearly portrays nature as uncontrollable is:
A. The storm appeared to approach rapidly. . . . It advanced; the heavens were clouded, and I soon felt the rain coming slowly in large drops, but its violence quickly increased. . . .. . . The darkness and storm increased every minute, and the thunder burst with a terrific crash over my head. . . . Vivid flashes of lightning dazzled my eyes, illuminating the lake, making it appear like a vast sheet of fire
Explanation:
This excerpt talks about almost all the phenomena produced by the uncontrollable nature.
The Diamond Necklace is a story written by Guy de Maupassant. It was published in 1884 on the French newspaper "Le Gaulois". In this story Maupassant, as in most of his work, sets a critic about burgess and their excesses and ambition
The main character of the story, Mathilde, dreams of becoming a Dame in the French privileged society. She longs for having a house full of all kinds of luxuries, being admired and respected by everybody, but her reality defers quite a lot from what she desires, she lives in a small town at the French-British country side, and her husband is no more but a low rank government clerk at The Minister of Public Instruction.
The story of the Necklace starts when the couple received an invitation for a fancy dinner from The Minister of Public Instruction. Mathilde got a beautiful dress and she borrowed the Diamond necklace from an aristocratic friend to wear it at the dinner. To make the long story short, she lost the necklace and got into great debt to buy a similar diamond necklace to give back the original necklace to her friend. After ten years of hard work and suffering for paying the amount of money that the necklace had cost, she comes across her friend one day and decided to confess what she had done. With a very surprising turn of events, the friend to Mathilde that her original necklace was not made of real diamonds, and that it was not expensive at all, it only cost around 500 francs, not even 1 percent of what she had paid for the replacement.
I think that this entire situation was caused by a character's flaw, wanting to be something she was not was what caused the initial problem to Mathilde. Second, it could have been prevented by telling the truth to her friend when returning the necklace. Lastly, there is a bit of irony in the story, something which was a symbol of glamour and social status condemns you to a life of poverty and hard work.
I think this would be to illustrate their massive discontent with things the way they are and to force the introduction of measures that severely quell existing liberties. There is no suggestion as to what is being discussed but it could be like the rise of the Nazis in Germany in WWII or of Mussolini in Italy perhaps.
