<em>A sentence that contains an allusion is;</em>

D. Bill is caught between a rock and a hard place. He can't figure out what to do.

Answer:

<u>The popular literary work - The Great Gatsby </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>ESSAY WORK</u>

Interestingly, in this story the narrator Nick tries to describe the characters Tom, Gatsby and Daisy to readers from his own perspective. This was evident in the use of the word 'I' as Nick describes events.

However, Nick seems to be unreliable because at a point in time in his narration he said, "I am one of the few honest people I ever know". This statement creates a feeling of doubt about his narration to the reader.

The whole interpretation of the story is affected by his constant bias between the characters; speaking favourably to one character- Gatsby over the others. Thus he portrays Gatsby as <em>the leading icon,</em> which influences how the reader sees Gatsby.

Reread the excerpt from the poem "Ozymandias"
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The second option: By implying a similarity between the ruins of  Ozymandias civilization and the Rapa Nui's ruins.

Explanation:

While walking among the head statues the author noticed how some of them were fallen and broken, some appearing complete and yet so far away from any habitation that he compared them to having the empty gaze of Ozymandias.

He also touched on how empty the island is and lamented on the disappearance of its ancient culture, but yet the statues still stood bearing the same expression they were carved in, and quoting Shelley in his comparison: "the heads still look terrifying, their expression sneering, 'Look on you mighty and despair'"

Lines 110–116: Suggest how this lengthy sentence might be rewritten in a more modern way.
Aloiza [94]

Incomplete question. I inferred you are referring to "Bradford's History of 'Plimoth Plantation'", by William Bradford.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Lines 110-116 reads;</u>

"In ye name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwriten, the loyall subjects of our dread soveraigne Lord, King James, by ye grace of God, of Great Britaine, Franc, & Ireland king, defender of ye faith, &c., haveing undertaken, for ye glorie of God, and advancemente of ye Christian faith, and honour of our king & countrie, a voyage to plant ye first colonie in ye Northerne parts of Virginia, doe by these presents solemnly & mutualy in ye presence of God, and one of another, covenant & combine our selves togeather into a civill body politick, for our better ordering & preservation & furtherance of ye ends aforesaid; and by vertue hearof to enacte, constitute, and frame such just & equall lawes, ordinances, acts, constitutions, & offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meete & convenient for ye generall good of ye Colonie, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witnes wherof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cap-Codd ye 11. of November, in ye year of ye raigne of our soveraigne lord, King James, of England, France, & Ireland ye eighteenth, and of Scotland ye fiftie fourth. Ano: Dom. 1620..."

This lengthy sentence might be rewritten in a more modern way by replacing old English expressions like 'ye' with 'the' and adjusting the spellings of some words.

For example, The first five lines of lines 110 could be written;

"In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, Franc, & Ireland king, defender of the faith, &c., having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our king & country, a voyage to plant the first colonies in the Northern parts of Virginia..."

Most people of good taste very much dislike being asked their names. To say "What is your name?" is always abrupt and unflatteri
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

No, the author switches between lighthearted and somber tones.

Explanation:

Most people of good taste very much dislike being asked their names. To say "What is your name?" is always abrupt and unflattering. - <em><u>somber</u></em>

If you want to know with whom you have been talking, you can generally find a third person later and ask "Who was the lady with the grey feather in her hat?" The next time you see her you can say "How do you do, Mrs.—" (calling her by name). - <em><u>lighthearted</u></em>
