He tried to think a little about the ballerinas. They weren’t really very good—no better than anybody else would have been, anyw

ay. They were burdened with sash-weights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. George was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn’t be handicapped. This excerpt best illustrates Kurt Vonnegut’s message that (a) everyone in a society should have equal talent and beauty. (b) advances in technology should be closely monitored. (c) television viewing limits individual thought and creativity. (d) absolute equality prevents personal freedoms of expression.

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

(d) absolute equality prevents personal freedoms of expression.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

This excerpt shows the portrayal of how the ballet performers were incapacitated to guarantee that none of them was superior to the others. They needed to wear scarf loads and packs of birdshot and furthermore covers, along these lines, unmistakably everybody was equivalent. This setting best shows Kurt Vonnegut's message that supreme balance anticipates individual flexibilities of articulation.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi <u>went </u>to England <u>for</u> higher studies at the age of 19. His mother <u>was</u> apprehensive about young men <u>going</u> astray in western society. But her fears were allayed <u>when</u> Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not <u>to</u> touch meat, wine and women. He <u>faced</u> a lot <u>of</u> difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we should use the Past Simple, as the whole story refers to the past. Therefore, we should use verbs like <em>went, was, faced</em>, etc...

The construction go for something means <em>try to achieve a goal</em>, in this case, he tried to finish his higher studies.

e.g. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi <u>went </u>to England <u>for</u> higher studies at the age of 19.

The construction <em>to be afraid/worried/apprehensive about + V+ -ing</em><em> </em>contains the verb with <em>-ing</em> at the end, as a part of this construction, so, in this case, we should change the verb form from <em>go </em>to <em>going</em>.

e.g. . His mother <u>was apprehensive about</u> young men <u>going</u> astray in western society.

But her fears were allayed <u>when</u> Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not <u>to</u> touch meat, wine and women.

In this sentence, we should use when instead of that, because <em>when </em>acts as a conjunction meaning <em>at the time that</em>.

We use the construction not to when we want to emphasize the absence of some action; in this case, that he will not touch meat, wine and women.

The construction a lot of refers to a large number or amount of things (in this case difficulties).

He faced <u>a lot of</u> difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

Which story premise is most clearly a classic tragedy?
harina [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. Hurricane Don approaches land, forcing Drew to leave his home

behind.

Explanation:

Classic Tragedy is characterized by presenting historical or mythological characters (Kings, heroes and demigods), who suffer a misfortune caused by the will of the gods or fate, in this case a hurricane. The problems of this genre are far from the questions of everyday life. The outcome is always unfortunate, since it ends with the death or punishment of the hero.

The characters are noble; the protagonist must face an adverse fate, which has been set by the gods and from which he cannot escape.

The language in which the characters express themselves is similar to their social category and is characterized by their formal registration.

Which statements support the inference that Brutus is motivated to protect Rome from tyranny? Check all that apply. Brutus fears
bija089 [108]

<u>Answer</u>:

(B) “Brutus cares about all Romans” And (E) “Brutus does not know how Caesar will change”.

These statements support the inference that Brutus is motivated to protect Rome from tyranny.

<u>Explanation</u>:

'Julius Caesar' by “William Shakespeare” is a story about how Roman Republic came to an end.

“Julius Caesar” was a great Roman 'general' and 'senator'. His good friend, “Brutus” loved Rome more than he loved his dear friend, Caesar. So, his enemies even manipulated him to believe that Caesar might misuse his powers and planned to kill him to preserve the "Republic".  

Brutus strongly believed that Caesar's death will benefit Rome. He is thus confused between supporting Caesar and Rome and is the “tragic hero” of the play.
