D. Hectic
ANSWER
The correct option is A.
Douglass was a slave, who had experienced the harsh reality of been a slave. He has been moved around a lot, from one master to another master; and one of the masters he served were Mr and Mrs Auld. His condition as a slave improved a little bit when he first got to the home of the Auld's. Mrs Auld has never had a slave before so she was excited to have one and did not really know how slaves were treated by other white people. So she treated Douglass not as a slave but as a human being and even went to the extent of teaching him how to read and write. But all that stopped, when Mr Auld find out that his wife has been teaching Douglass how to read and write.
Answer:
ОА. Some people think that the idea for the circus came from ancient times.
Explanation:
Based on the given excerpt from the article <em>The American Circus in All Its Glory</em>, it is safe to say that the writers, Joseph Bottum and Justin L. Blessinger retrace the history of how circuses came to be especially in the American context. This article delves deep into the how and why of circuses and how it has developed over the years and formed itself into the American culture.
The phrase<em> "popular myth typically traces the modern circus back to the ancient Romans"</em> <u>implies that the popular belief of people about the circus was that it originated from ancient times, more specifically the Romans</u>. But as we will read in the latter part of the article, this is not so. In fact, circuses and the very image of what we now picture as a circus is only a recent thing.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
In this excerpt from the play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, the line that provides evidence that Faustus's human soul is predisposed to shun evil is the second one:
But, Mephistophilis, My blood congeals,
and I can write no more.
This line, as Marlowe uses blood as a symbol for the character of Faustus's soul, shows the reader his intention to avoid evil, but he feels he can't because it "<em>congeals</em>".
Metaphor!
It’s not a simile because LIKE or AS is not being used but things are being compared.
Answer:
People for top positions in organization must have clear sense of right and wrong and courage and honesty to say the truth.
Explanation:
The main idea of a paragraph is one which the authors wants to prove with the help of examples, evidences, or by appealing to emotions, logic, or moral values. This idea is the backbone and purpose of the paragraph.
In this case, the authors is trying to persuade the readers of the importance of clarity of thought, courage and honesty to say the truth for people on top positions on an organization. He opines that these qualities are even more important than intelligence and substantive knowledge. The author has just named these qualities, he is yet to prove (mat be later) that why and how these qualities are more important than other qualities.
