The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde, is a play that has been described as a trivial comedy for serious people in which its characters create alternate and fictional personas to be able to deal with the burdens put on them by Victorian society. First acted in 1895 in the St. James Theater in London, this play deals with such serious matters as marriage and the customs and beliefs of Victorian society in a trivial way and satirize Victorian conventions.

In this particular excerpt of the III Act of the play what Jack, one of the main characters of the play, is showing is a tendency to show his emotions as he consistently and insistently tries in some form express his emotions and feelings through a constant attempt at hugging and touching Miss Prism.

<em>He is inclined to show his emotions</em>. This is the right option.

Although Miss Prism tells Jack that she is not his mother, Jack attempts to hug her more than once and he also sounds sympathetic. The underlined phrases from the quotations reflect Jack's emotional state. Jack. [<u>Embracing her.]</u> Yes . . .<u> mother! </u>// ....Why should there be one law for men, and another for women? <u>Mother, I forgive you</u>. [<u>Tries to embrace her again.</u>]

These options are wrong:

- He has a tendency to be rude. On the contrary, Jack sounds sympathetic.

-He has a tendency to be gullible. Jack is not given any false information by Miss Prism.

-He is inclined to be unresponsive. He is responsive since he is not indifferent towards Miss Prism 's words.

Which of the following settings best create fear or anxiety? Falling snow Sunrise Open fields Decaying trees
Lerok [7]
A sunrise most definitely cannot be associated with either of those things, the sun is most often symbolic of something good or happy. Falling snow also does not create a sense of fear or anxiety, when thinking of snow I think of peace and quiet, serenity. Some might even feel happy or joywhen thinking about snow because it is most often associated with Christmas. I also think that an open field does not stir feelings of fear, that is unless you give details or descriptions to make it scary. I would say a setting with decaying trees best creates fear and anxiety. The word decay literally means " the state or process of rotting or decomposition". It is associated with death, and death is most often viewed as frightening and mysterious. Hope this helps .

gladu [14]
The most effective way to combine sentences (1) and (2) is definitely :William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, a town in England. This is the only sentence which both represents correct grammar and semantic structures. This sentence contains a complection of a direct object of the sentence as they bring one sense and can substitude each other. The structure of this sentence clearly shows that Stratford-upon-Avon is a a town in England that is totally correct. The second option lacks a comma, the next one contains improper use of participle phrase and the last one contains extra conjuction.

Write a story that ends with the expression, it pays to be kind to strangers​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Once upon a time there were two girls Lilly and Sharon. They were walking down the street together. While they were walking by they saw a homeless man sitting out on a cardboard box. Seeing him, and feeling bad for a man that's been turned out to the street, Lilly and Sharon immediately started emptying out their pockets for spare change to give the man. He thanked them and asked where they lived. Dangerous as it was, Lilly told him that if he wanted to see them sometime, to come to the stream. After that, the two girls quickly went on their way. Two days later, they got a knock on their door, and when they opened it, what a suprise they got! Standing there was the same homeless man they had helped out on the street two days ago, looking really grand! The man explained that he was not really homeless, and that he wanted to carry out an experiment to see if people would help a black man out on the street. The man also said he'd be giving 10,000 dollars to the people that had helped them to thank them. The two girls were shocked! They collected the money from him and thanked him. It always pays to be kind to strangers, you never know what they are going through.

Explanation:

Not only should you be kind to strangers, you should also be kind to others. You never know what strangers are going through, or how hard their life is, and that goes the same for anybody else out there, so it really helps make it better if you are kind to them.

Based on the information given about Trish, we can consider that she is the opposite of a composed person.
