The first one. Poets do write about concrete things as well as abstract.
Answer:
The writer is implying that politicians are shameless people who would do anything for their own gain.
Explanation:
Charles Farrar Browne was an American humorist writer and a comedian who is more better known by his pen name Artemus Ward. His book "Interview With Lincoln" is a satirical or humorous representation of the real world as he sees it.
The passage from the question is from the text where he seems to suggest that the "owner" of the place was a generous place. But with politicians, there can be no honor or full trust. The use of the word "hog-pen" suggests that he is ready to accommodate anyone who's willing to be on his side. After his whole place had been filled, he still wants people to be with him even though there seems to be no space left. Thus, these lines seems to imply that the politicians will do anything if it's going to give them some profit out of the situation. It shows their shamelessness.
Answer:
Real examples of promethean ambition can be seen in scientists who want to use stem cells to change biological situations.
Explanation:
Prometheus is a god of Greek mythology, who stole fire from Olympus, against the will of the gods, to deliver that fire to men. Based on this myth, the term "promethean ambition" is used to describe characters in literature who want to dominate and modify nature at their leisure.
As we know, there are many characters who can fit the term "promethean ambition", however we can also have examples of the application of this term in real life. An example that can be cited are scientists who develop research and ways to use stem cells to modify or prevent the existence of some biological situations, such as malformed organs and bones.
I believe the answer is B
The main idea behind area model is to crack multiplication of 2 larger numbers in sum of several easier to calculate multiplications of smaller numbers. Each multiplication of those smaller numbers is represented by part of the area in the picture.
So, we can write down number 34 as sum of 30 and 4 and number 17 as sum of 10 and 7.
Going further we can write down:
34*17=(30+4)*(10*7)=30*10+30*7+4*10+4*7=578
