In this sonnet, the speaker describes a powerful love for someone with no personal merits. Which lines describe this puzzling ab

ility in the speaker's beloved to control his reasoning faculties?
Sonnet 150
by William Shakespeare

[O! from what power hast thou this powerful might,
With insufficiency my heart to sway?]
To make me give the lie to my true sight,
And swear that brightness doth not grace the day?
Whence hast thou this becoming of things ill,
[That in the very refuse of thy deeds
There is such strength and warrantise of skill,
That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds?]
[Who taught thee how to make me love thee more,]
The more I hear and see just cause of hate?
O! though I love what others do abhor,
With others thou shouldst not abhor my state:
If thy unworthiness raised love in me,
[More worthy I to be beloved of thee.]

PLEASE!

The lines that describe this puzzling ability in the speaker's beloved to control his reasoning faculties are “Whence hast thou this becoming of things ill,/That in the very refuse of thy deeds/There is such strength and warrantise of skill,/That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds?”

 

<span>In Shakespeare’s 150th sonnet the puzzling ability is described as the capacity to make bad things look good in her and to perform the most worthless actions so skillfully that the speaker thinks that her worst is better than anyone else’s best.</span>

Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World starts with an introduction to a state in which the authorities try to control society by
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The idea of controlling humans through biological engineering is an example of

B) dystopian

context with an extreme form of state control. Such a context fits in the genre of science fiction because

B) depends on technology to create the world.

Explanation:

Dystopian literature came as a response to utopian fiction. While a utopia concerns the perfect world, dystopian settings present lack of humanity, excessive control and violence, often justified by the government as being the means to achieve the greater good. That is the type of reality presented in "Brave New World". Human beings are no longer free to choose. They are no longer free to even be born. They are created in labs, where their function in life is already predetermined. Some are created to be highly intelligent while others are meant to be slow in order to perform menial jobs.

This is a perfect fit for the science-fiction genre. This type of genre relies heavily in the possible destructive influence of technology over our lives. The story is often set in the future, when a much more advanced society depends completely on technology to function and survive. In "Brave New World", control comes through technology. It is the means to create as well as destroy life.

What is Sotomayor's intended purpose in posing three powerful questions in a row?
JulsSmile [24]

This question is incomplete because the passage of Sotomayor is missing; here is the passage to answer to question:

Read the excerpt from "A Latina Judge's Voice" by Hon. Sonia Sotomayor. I also hope that by raising the question today of what difference having more Latinos and Latinas on the bench will make will start your own evaluation. For people of color and women lawyers, what does and should being an ethnic minority mean in your lawyering? For men lawyers, what areas in your experiences and attitudes do you need to work on to make you capable of reaching those great moments of enlightenment which other men in different circumstances have been able to reach? For all of us, how do [we] change the facts that in every task force study of gender and race bias in the courts, women and people of color, lawyers and judges alike, report in significantly higher percentages than white men that their gender and race has shaped their careers, from hiring, retention to promotion, and that a statistically significant number of women and minority lawyers and judges, both alike, have experienced bias in the courtroom?

The correct answer to this question is D. Sotomayor wants the audience to pose serious questions of their own about diversity on the bench.

Explanation:

In the passage, the Honorable Sonia Sotomayor focuses on questioning the lack of diversity on the bench or in courts. Moreover, in this passage Sotomayor indirectly proposes more diversity from Latinos and other minorities is needed as this would lead to a representation of different groups in society.

Besides this, the technique used by the author is to pose three complex questions such as "what does and should being an ethnic minority mean in your lawyering?" that are intended to explain the purpose of the author by making the audience create own questions about diversity and conclude the need of diversity in the bench. This is also expressed in "I also hope that by raising the question today... will start your own evaluation". Thus, the purpose of the question is to make the audience create own questions about diversity.
