The correct option is A.

Parallelism refers to the construction of sentences by using elements that are grammatically identical in structure, meaning or sound. Authors usually use parallelism in their works in order to draw the readers' attention to the similarity or the differences of ideas by the way they arrange them in the sentence. In the passage given above, Baldwin used parallelism in order to emphasize the things that are important and the things that are not.

Answer:

B) She values romance over truth.

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from Act III of The Importance of Being Earnest.

Cecily. Gwendolen, your common sense is invaluable. Mr. Moncrieff, kindly answer me the following question. Why did you pretend to be my guardian’s brother?

Algernon. In order that I might have an opportunity of meeting you.

Cecily. [To Gwendolen.] That certainly seems a satisfactory explanation, does it not?

Gwendolen. Yes, dear, if you can believe him.

Cecily. I don’t. But that does not affect the wonderful beauty of his answer.

What does this excerpt most clearly convey about Cecily?

A) She values truth over creativity.

B) She values romance over truth.

C) She values logic over romance.

D) She values creativity over logic.

Cecily likes Algernon's romantic answer rather than the truth on why Algernon was pretending to be her guardian's brother. This indicates that she values romance over the truth.

Write three paragraphs, supporting the assertion that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth both waver between extreme confidence and great d

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Lady Macbeth and Macbeth go through an ambitious period. When Macbeth hears the witches promising his kingship, he plans to murder the king. King Duncan is his name. So he can become king. He fears of no doubt at this moment. (Act 1 Scene 3 pg 7) here he thinks of accepting being king. (Act 1 Scene 4 pg 2) Macbeth thinks of being king and murdering Duncan. (Act 1 Scene 5 pg 3) Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot on killing Duncan. (Act 1 Scene 7 pg 2) Macbeth reconsiders in killing Duncan. Macbeth begins to have doubts. (Act 1 Scene 7 pg 3) Lady Macbeth insists in killing Duncan.(Act 1 Scene 7 pg 4) Macbeth is now decided to kill the king, but he feels regret. After the murder of King Duncan he begins to have doubts because he knows that Banquo's descendants will take away the thrown and kingship from him. Therefore, this makes him go mad and insane, making him commit one murder after another so there will be no one in his way to stop him from being king. Macbeth's doubts cause him to go back to the witches to assure himself that no one will take the crown away from him. Doubts also make him act impulsively about certain matters. Lady Macbeth on the other hand over time she begins to feel guilt when she starts sleepwalking. (Act 5 Scene 1 pg 1-4) She say's in her sleep the murders she committed. She is repented. However, there is nothing she can do. Due to her insecurity, doubt, lack of sleep, etc she decides to commit suicide because the guilt was just to painful to handle. Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth we see their character disintegration throught the whole play because of a wicked action they did. It's very helpful. Hope this helped :)

Vika [28.1K]

An object I would be really intereste in researching is a cellphone due to the fact that nowadays, it plays a key role in the life of both an adolescent and an adult, and it also lures children. People tend to be more concerned about what is going on in their cellphones using social medias or texting rather than being present in the real moment with the real people they are dealing with at the moment. Cellphones are very useful since it helps as keeping in touch all the time with our beloved people. However, it can be also a fatal device if not used properly or at the right time, since it can be the culprit of a car accident.
