Which statement best explains this excerpt from act v, scene I, of Twelfth Night? SEBASTIAN: [to OLIVIA] So comes it, lady, you

have been mistook: But nature to her bias drew in that. You would have been contracted to a maid; Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived; You are betroth'd both to a maid and man. Sebastian explains that the case of mistaken identity has worked in Olivia’s favor because she has married Sebastian, not Viola. Sebastian says that Olivia has mistakenly married a woman instead of a man, which goes against the "bias" of nature. Sebastian is mocking Olivia because she married someone without really knowing that person's identity. Sebastian is congratulating Olivia for marrying a great man and hiring a maid to help with her household. Sebastian is unwilling to get married and tells Olivia that it would be a mistake to expect him to do so. NextReset

This scene comes at the end of the play, as all has been revealed. In this scene, 

Sebastian says: "<span>So comes it, lady, you have been mistook." By this he means that Olivia has been mistaken, or wrong. He continues, "But nature to her bias drew in that." By this he means, nature has fixed your error and made it right.
 
He explains, "You would have been contracted to a maid," meaning that Olivia would have married a maiden, or a young woman. However, he continues by saying, "Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived; You are betroth'd both to a maid and man." He means that Olivia is not entirely deceived, or not entirely wrong. He says that Olivia married both a young woman AND a young man. He does not mean this literally, of course, since that isn't quite what happened. Instead, he means that the love Olivia had for Sebastian's sister has been transferred into a love for him. And, since he is still a virgin, he is a "maiden" as well as a man.</span>

Now, let's look at the statements:

<span>Sebastian explains that the case of mistaken identity has worked in Olivia’s favor because she has married Sebastian, not Viola.
-- This statement best summarizes Sebastian's words to Olivia. 

Sebastian says that Olivia has mistakenly married a woman instead of a man, which goes against the "bias" of nature.
-- Olivia has not mistakenly married a woman; therefore, this statement would not be correct.

Sebastian is mocking Olivia because she married someone without really knowing that person's identity.
-- Sebastian is not mocking Olivia at all; instead, he is trying to explain how Olivia's mistake worked in their favor after all.

Sebastian is congratulating Olivia for marrying a great man and hiring a maid to help with her household.
-- Olivia has not married a maid to help with her household; this statement as a result is not correct.

Sebastian is unwilling to get married and tells Olivia that it would be a mistake to expect him to do so. 
</span>-- This is not at all what he is saying, as he is in love with Olivia; this statement would not be correct.

How does odilia feel after La Llorona gives her the sprigs of jojotle?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

She felt dizzy for in her own words, "the room was spinning a little".

Explanation:

"Summer of the Mariposas" is the story of five girls who discovered the body of a man whom they believed came from Mexico, floating in the body of water where they swam. The girls who were cared for by their mother and abandoned by their father decided that instead of going to the police, they would rather take the body back to Mexico and also visit their grandmom there. During their adventure, Odilia who was one of the sisters encountered La Llorana, a ghost who was believed to have taken her children's lives in the river. Initially, she was scared but the woman calmed her fears by telling the girls that the popular story about her was untrue. She gave Odilia an earring to protect her and her sisters five times in the course of their journey.

Later, when the sisters were taken to the home of a woman named Cecilia who was poisoning them, La Llorona gave Odilia Sprigs of Jojotle to help her recover. The Jojotle had a dizzy effect for Odilia commented that she had to go 'sit down on the bed because the room was spinning a little'.

He was tall, gaunt, with a pale skin and sunken eyes the color of a kingfisher's wing, neither blue or green.
MrMuchimi

In literature, the term tone refers to the writer's attitude or feelings about the subject matter as well as towards the audience. Such tone is created by authors through the use of literary elements, such as diction( defined as  word choice),  syntax ( or the grammatical arrangement of words), imagery ( referred to the vivid appeals to the senses); details (related with facts that are either  included or omitted) and figurative language (which refers to  the comparison with apparently unrelated things.  

In the particular segment.. “He was tall, gaunt, with a pale skin and sunken eyes the color of a kingfisher's wing, neither blue nor green...” details and figurative languages seem to be used by the author as literary elements to express his/her attitude towards Kenny, which could be categorized as indifferent

How does life in exile affect Frithiof?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
I believe the correct answer is: He adopts the life of a pirate, becoming rich by stealing from others. 
     In this excerpt from “The Story of Frithiof the Bold” written by William Morris, the life in exile make Frithiof, a great hero, adopt to the life of a pirate, becoming rich by stealing from others, after the incident in the temple of Balder:
     “So Frithiof became an exile, and the wanderer on the face of earth. For many years he lived the life of a pirate or Viking, exacting tribute from other ships or sacking them if they would not pay the tribute.”
