The correct answer is II. Spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.

Explanation: In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards, the author uses a metaphor to explain how low God considers sinners to be, and that they are weak in the face of his wrath. Edwards compares spiders to sinners because of how weak and loathesome they are, and the spider's web represents the sinner's congregation. The rock falling through the web represents God's strength and gravity towards sinners.

Helen Grey
GuDViN [60]

The theme of Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem "Helen Grey" is, beauty isn't everything. We know this to be true because the Rossetti describes Helen Grey as "handsome" and "proud" but also says "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all." This shows the reader that Helen Grey is very attractive and takes pride in her attraction. However, she has let her beauty go to her head, resulting in an unpleasant personality that no man has found her attractive. The last four lines of the poem "Helen Grey" support the its main theme by drawing the reader's attention to the reality of age and time. Time will continue to go by causing Helen to grow old, wrinkly, and gray. Time will pass and with it, Helen's beauty shall pass too. If she does not  change her ways, she will be left with and unattractive personality, and face.

Which statement best describes how dramatic irony is used in this passage? The reader knows that the human neighbors plan to des
LenKa [72]

The example that best describes it is the 1st one; since "dramatic irony" occurs when the audience (<em>readers</em>) understands what's going to happen, and knows about certain characters' actions, or event, and the characters are unaware of it; hence the characters actions go on a different way.

The tactic is used to make the audience more involved; thus it often creates this feeling of being powerless in the readers' mind, to do anything about it.

So the best statement is: "<em>The reader knows that the human neighbors plan to destroy Animal Farm</em>"
