I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The underlined words in this excerpt from “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe are examples of repetition. It is a<span> literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea clearer. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
Answer:
Both accepted fate to be ultimate in determining one's life course
Explanation:
In the Myth of Sisyphus, Sisyphus was eternally condemned by the gods to push a rock up a hill, only to have it fall down on him again. Meursault however, is a person who is accused of murder, sent to jail for over a year, and is then executed. What both these characters have come to realize is that they are forced to live in these situations created by fate, therefore they might as well enjoy or at least get used to them.
Meursault is forced to live in a cell without any pleasures, such as his cigarettes or the love of a woman. When this happens, Meursault recalls what his mother told him.
She said that one could get used to just about anything. When Meursault realizes and understands that this is just part of his punishment, he becomes indifferent, as he always does, and accepts his situation. Though Meursault had mentally accepted his situation, his body still suffers withdraw symptoms and sexual urges. Eventually however, his body got used to it as well. He passively defies punishment by accepting his situation and enjoying himself in jail. That is when Meursault's punishment isn't a punishment anymore. When Meursault is condemned to death, he does not act surprised, although he wishes he did not have to die. After a while he accepts that too. It did not matter to him that he is going to die, since he reasoned that he would have to face the same dilemma in a few years anyway.
[I]t is impossible for the collectivity to undertake the direct settlement of all the controversies that may arise.
Answer: Option D.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The claim that has been given in this option has been supported by an example that has been given by the author in the final paragraph. The evidence is given of the time when Peter wrongs Paul in the passage.
The example given shows and demonstrates why is it weird and absurd to imagine that the entire collectivity would be able to examine the circumstances of the controversy and to adjudicate it and to make a formal judgement and the decision about a matter which is disputed.
APEX answer would be " And, if they lived before the Christian era, / They did not worship god i the right way: / And i myself [Virgil] am one of those poor souls." (Canto IV, lines 34 - 39)
Answer:
The main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal is:
B. the weather during the writer's journey to Holford.
Explanation:
After reading this passage, we can see how the focus is on the weather. Even if it is described in almost poetic way, and even if the moon is mentioned a couple of times, the author's point is to give an account of what the weather was like during the journey to Holford. We are told about the clouds, gusts of wind, the sound of the storm, what things looked like before and after it hit... Notice, however, that the writer does not express any dislike for the stormy weather. It is just a simple account of it, but written in a beautiful manner.
