The correct answer is B) cross-dressing.

Indeed, a transvestite is a male or a female that dresses up in clothing from the gender opposite to their biological gender. They also adopt the normative opposite gender’s mannerisms. The word’s etymology is very explicit. It includes the prefix trans, which means across, through, beyond, in Latin; then the root word vestite, which comes from Latin vestitus, which means clothed.

Viola is a transvestite in as much as she disguises herself as a man and speaks and acts like one, while she is actually a woman.

Since transvestites are men who dress up as women, I am going to assume that the use of cross-dressing makes Twelfth Night one of Shakespeare's transvestite comedies, and there are many of those, actually.

Sever21 [200]

Paragraph I.

Answer:

In order to reunite with nature, a person needs to withdraw and look at it with fresh and pure eyes, without all the bias that civilization has imposed on us.

Explanation:

In our lives, we are too often immersed in trivial worldly affairs, so much so that we take nature and its beauty for granted. Stars, for example, are so magnificent that they are worthy of adoration. But we often fail to see their magnificence just because we see them every night.

Paragraph II.

Answer:

Nature's beauty and perfection are inexhaustible even for the wisest of people.

Explanation:

We can try to grasp nature's wonders all we want - they will never expire or cease to exist, nor will they become incomprehensible. On the contrary, nature will always reflect both "the wisdom of [a man's] best hour" and "the simplicity of his childhood".

Paragraph III.

Answer:

A man can own fields or farms or woods, but he can never own nature itself.

Explanation:

Nature is integral (whole and undivided). Even though people may draw lines and boundaries through it, they can never own it. Only the poet can grasp its full integrity.

Paragraph IV.

Answer:

Nature is comprehensive and inclusive of all of our feelings.

Explanation:

In nature, a man can reestablish contact with his youth and childhood, but also with his own universal nature. Only there can he finally understand how pointless his egotism is, how unimportant all his worldly concerns and cares.

Paragraph V.

Answer:

In their essence, man and nature are connected with an unbreakable bond.

Explanation:

Even if physically alone, a man can never be truly alone in nature. That is because every element of nature (for example, a bough) reflects his inner, spiritual processes. A storm may take a man by surprise, but it is not unknown or unfamiliar to him.

Paragraph VI.

Answer:

Human spirit and emotions are a result of harmony between man and nature.

Explanation:

We can "read" the same landscape differently, according to our current emotions. For example, a scene that yesterday seemed delightful can today appear as melancholic. "Nature always wears the colors of the spirit," says Emerson in this paragraph. It means that nature is susceptible to our imagination, which in turn means that man and nature are equal, and equally important.

kupik [55]

Answer:

The only pro is that you will know that there is a hurricane on its way but the con is that there is no news channel that is viewing the hurricane that is arriving.

Also a mainstream daily newspaper and independent blogger are not usual go to sources, but I would prefer a daily newspaper over a independent blogger any day when looking for the latest news about a national disaster because newspapers are published daily as for independent bloggers are technically not reliable daily sources.

Read these lines from "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and answer the question.

harkovskaia [24]

I'm kind of confused as to what is being asked.... but this is my best answer.
SOCIAL Prejudice, (maybe legal if we talk about the consequence to his actions)

why it cant be the others--->
racial ---- they say nothing about race here.
(MAYBE) legal----- from the passage, we can say that the guy is richhhhh, and he might be able to wave off the consequences of his murder. but then again you only analyze this passage so, probably not
environmental---- they don't mention the environment....

THE REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE SOCIAL- their social standings in this situation
-diamond ring (if thats what they mean by diamond ring finger, it could mean something else as well) only the rich can afford, a cane too
- hotel society gathering... (rich)
-poor Hattie Carroll could be literal as well.
