Read the excerpt from "The Lady Maid's Bell." But that wasn’t the only queer thing in the house. The very next day I found out t

hat Mrs. Brympton had no nurse; and then I asked Agnes about the woman I had seen in the passage the afternoon
before. Agnes said she had seen no one, and I saw that she thought I was dreaming. To be sure, it was dusk when we went down the passage, and she had excused herself for not bringing a light; but I had seen the woman plain enough to know her again if we should meet. I decided that she must have been a friend of the cook’s, or of one of the other women servants: perhaps she had come down from town for a night’s visit, and the servants wanted it kept secret. Some ladies are very stiff about having their servants’ friends in the house overnight. At any rate, I made up my mind to ask no more questions. Which statement describes a gothic element in this excerpt that reflects a social attitude of Wharton’s time?

A. The narrator feels inadequate when she reports seeing a supernatural being and nobody believes her.
B. The narrator feels like she lacks control of her own fate when her superiors refuse to answer her questions.
C. The narrator is dismissed by her superiors when she asks questions about an occurrence that may have been supernatural.
D. The narrator fears that she may be doomed when she witnesses a strange woman walking around the home.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

1) A nun looked at the narrator's house as if it were a terrible place to live.

2) She is the more carefree child, the one who has her own opinions.

  • She is using the wild description of her hair to imply that she is also wild. It wouldn't be choice B, because that's too literal; and C and D don't make sense.

3) She feels like her family is holding her back from opportunities and experiences.

  • If she had stopped with the balloon, it would have been a happy metaphor. But a balloon tied to an anchor? Can't fly, can't go anywhere with the anchor holding it down.

4) She and Nenny's laughter is loud and grabs the attention of anyone nearby.

  • She's contrasting it with Rachel and Lucy. It's not orthodox, it's carefree and noisy.

5) She feels ashamed that she and Nenny have no money to buy anything.

  • Nenny asks how much the music box is, but Gil doesn't even offer it because he knows they don't have any money. Esperanza knows, though.

6) She wishes she had a different name than Esperanza.

  • The author is contrasting the two worlds, the hispanic and american, that they live between. Her name is hard to pronounce, and she connects it with sadness and longing.

Read Isaiah 53:11. Select the best description.
natka813 [3]

The answer is C

The whole verse looks like this:

<em>(Isaiah 53:11 According to New International Version (NIV)) </em>

<em>11 After he has suffered, </em>

<em>he will see the light of life[a] and be satisfied[b]; </em>

<em>by his knowledge[c] my righteous servant will justify many, </em>

<em>and he will bear their iniquities. </em>

For the first line: This phrase describes all his pain and sufferings he has experienced during his passion on the cross. Christ has died for us. Even he is the Son of God, he did not escaped death, which will also happen to all of us. Death is a punishment for us because we sinned as a person. Christ has become a person that's why he also experienced it. In spite of death and all his wounds and pain he has experienced, he realized the positivities from all of those.  

For the second line: Meaning he will see the good side of those sufferings. It means, after death, we will live again but this time, our spirits will have everlasting life, no more sufferings, no more deaths, no more sickness which can provide every body spiritual satisfaction.  Christ has lived on the 3rd day of his death.

For the third line: Christ is often recognized as the Son of God, therefore, he is always the righteous one. He is holy and almost equal as God the Father. Because the Father has sent him to us, to become an example and to inspire us to follow his commandments and live to his words and teachings, if we accept these all, then we are justified and saved.  We will never get lost.

As for the last line: Since Jesus justified and corrected us by bearing our sins and dying for us, if we are willing to accept the same outlook, commandments and beliefs like him, then he will happily bear and carry all our misdeeds. But that doesn't mean that we will not die later on. We will still experience death, but this time, we will be saved.
