The narrator here uses "proposed" because he has to take some time to think it over before deciding to take that rest. It shows that he is not making snap decisions, he is suggesting things to himself and then taking the time to consider them before acting.

Answer:

The idea unsupported by the author's main arguments about Benjamin Franklin's accomplishments is Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity  adapted from the National Park Service  paved the way for  theories about  electricity.

Explanation:

The Statement that Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired  study its properties is true because he started studying the properties of electricity in 1746 and devoted more time to it after retiring in 1788. He conducted his famous kite experiment in June 1752. Also, the statement that he never patented any of his inventions is also true and is supported by authors arguments. Franklin's influence in the early history of the United States has led people to call him "the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States". He is largely self educated because though he attended the school he did not graduate, but continued his education through voracious reading.

Realist Henrik Ibsen implemented _____ in Hedda Gabler. Select all that apply.
jarptica [38.1K]
The correct options are <span>A) everyday language and B) commonplace characters. As a modern realist, Ibsen's concern were ordinary people, the kind we meet each day, the kind we are. Hedda Gabler is just one of those many women who have wasted their lives in boring marriages, with partners they don't love, doing things they don't enjoy. There are no spectacular stage props - the action takes place in an absolutely ordinary setting. Language isn't grandiose and figurative because characters aren't that either.</span>

Answer:

B) He understands that the other men in town will  never stand up to him.

Explanation:

Zora Neale Hurston's "Spunk" revolves around life in Eatonville, Florida where Spunk, the main protagonist of the story is involved in an affair with Lena Kanty, the wife of Joe Kanty. the story covers the incident where Spunk shot Joe and killed him.

Paragraphs 30-36 covers the scene where Joe was killed and what led to it. But more importantly, it also reveals how people perceive Spunk. They are all aware of the affair and would express disdain, but at the same time, they couldn't say anything in his face. Moreover, even after they know for sure that he had killed Joe, they could do nothing but talk about it. This shows how the other men in town don't seem to be brave enough to stand up to him.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is option B. </u>
