The correct answer is C.) Human mortality is inevitable, and it is important to live an authentic life.

Indeed, Ivan thinks he has lived a rightful life, a life where he has behaved honorably and has risen in society to a position of some wealth and influence. However, his wife does not love him and is completely self-centered. His daughter shows the exact same attitude and only his son does show some compassion.

The only person he feels some kind of warmth from is, Gerasim, his peasant servant boy who keeps him company as he is lying on his deathbed. Gerasim also does not share his fear of death due to his Christian faith and his detachment from the materialism of life since he is quite destitute and death would be a liberation.

Ivan discovers through Gerasim’s example that he has lived a materialistic shallow life; a life of conformity to societal norms. He realizes that the only way a life can be authentic is to show compassion and sympathy for other human beings.

Answer: B) The rhyming words "fate" and "hate" connect the pilot's fate to his emotions.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by William Butler Yeats we can see the rhyme pattern ABAB (the words from the lines 1 and 3: "fate" and "hate" rhyme, as well as the words "above" and "love" from the lines 2 and 4). The rhyming of the words "fate" and "hate" connect the pilot's fate to his emotions, so the correct answer is the corresponding to option B.

Explain what Carroll is saying identity. Use evidence from the text to support your response?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

In my opinion, Carroll (the author of the story) is trying to tell children, everyone who read this book that it could be weird, strange when you growing up as you were a child.

The evidence is after Alice change the size many times in a day and meet Caterpillar, she said "I can't explain myself becaose I'm not my self, I'm afraid" and "all I know is it feeling very queer to me" queer means strage, weird.

This is my own view with the story, I'm not sure it would pls you or not but hope this helped :3

Answer: George committed <u>Direct copying</u> form of pilgrim.

Explanation:

Using someone's words in your document by copying them exactly or partially is called pilgrim.

The main two types of pilgrims are:

  • Direct copying
  • Word switching / paraphrasing

Direct copying:

Copying someone's same words from worksheets, web page, document, a book, an article, or from any other source and claim it to be your own words without mentioning the source from where the content is taken is a form of pilgrim called direct copying.

Word switching / paraphrasing:

Using someone's words partially (taking parts of sentences or words) into your document is called word switching or paraphrasing. Changing the sequence of someone's word and using them into your document without mentioning the original source is called word switching.
