The statement that best explains why Shakespeare has Cassius use the word <em>fawn</em> rather than a synonym such as <em>flatter</em> to describe his actions is the A: Fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of another for personal gain. In the excerpt that this question is referring to, the shrewd Cassius is going to reveal some aspects of Brutus's personality, or of his behavior, that he cannot see, and he asks him to trust in him, unless he saw him flattering somebody and then slandering him on their back; in that case, Cassius concludes, Brutus could be suspicious of him. Shakespeare is using the word <em>fawn </em>in Cassius's speech in order to emphasize his manipulative and devious traits. The word does have a negative connotation, and it often implies disapproval of that person's actions.

Papessa [141]

<u>Answer:</u>

Imagery has been vividly used in this excerpt. The light and dark have been used in symbolizing the good and evil things in that order Gandalf is the white that stands for good deeds. When Galadriel gives Frodo the Phial, this symbolizes the light that came during the darkest time.

The black rider stood for evils and everything that Mordor had covered with the blackness of shadowy. Each time Naqul passed near the overhead, the sun and moon became black.

How does Bradbury create irony in his story "The Pedestrian"?
Agata [3.3K]
The answer is C. A case of dramatic irony is the point at which the police submit the main normal individual in the city. Dramatic irony is the point at which the per user knows something that the characters don't, and the character's activities bring about something startling. In the story, we understand that the storyteller is unique in relation to whatever is left of his general public.

1. How would you describe the tone and purpose<br> of these excerpts from McNeil's oral history?
Setler [38]

Answer:

<u>the tone</u> used in McNeil's oral history<u> is confessional</u> and <u>the purpos</u>e seems to be that by making simple, humble statements the narrator is able to <u>present his own morality and his struggles in statements and not as pleadings</u>.

Explanation:

these excerpts are from a<u> narrator who comes from a marginalized community engaging in a protest against the government</u>. this kind of oration is known as <u>deceptively simple</u>.

on the surface, the text seems uninviting and simplistic. but the layer of rebellion is subdued by the matter of factly tone to become more of a defiance to which the common person can easily identify and sympathize with. It also s<u>hows the strength of the narrator</u> by not betraying their emotions to the reader.

In Stalin's opinion, why did the USSR decide to go to war with Germany?​
gulaghasi [49]

The correct answer is A) because people of the world -including dissenters in Germany- had approved their cause.

<em>In Stalin's opinion, the USSR decide to go to war with Germany because people of the world -including dissenters in Germany- had approved their cause. </em>

Joseph Stalin was a dictator. The people that surround him, his advisors, often said yes to everything he said. So in Stalin's mind, the Soviet Union had to wage war against Germany because he thought he had total support from the people in Russia; even dissenters in Germany. So he considered that he was fighting the tyrant Hitler and his expansionist ideas that included an invasion to the USSR territory as he did.  

The other options of the question were b) because Britain would be fighting with the Soviets, c) because Soviet troops had received threats from German ships, and d) because Hitler took Polish territory when he broke the nonaggression pact.
