Answer:

1. A. Both life and death cannot be planned.

2. A. “‘But I cannot die till I have achieved my destiny. Then let Death come: I shall have built my monument.’” (Paragraph 12).

3. C. They welcome him and discuss what he says to them.

4. C. They reveal that the young man wants more from life, but the daughter is satisfied with her current life.

5. A. The contrast between a warm and happy home with the threat of the mountain foreshadows the danger to come.

6. The setting contributes to the irony of the passage by presenting the house as a vulnerable place, and the mountain as a dangerous threat. The reader is led to believe that if danger ever befalls them, it will be because of the location of the house in respect to the mountain. However, the irony is that the tragedy happens while they were trying to reach the safe place, and that they would have been safe if they had stayed in the house.

Explanation:

In this story, Hawthorne reminds us that we can never plan life or death. While we might have things we want to achieve, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so before we die. This is what happens to the ambitious guest, who dies before he is able to do anything of importance. This is contrasted with the way the daughter thinks, as she is happy with her current life. Moreover, this idea is highlighted by the setting. Despite the fact that the house seems safe and cozy, it is constantly threatened by the risk of death.

Leto [7]

Answer:

The correct option is <u>her?"</u>

Halloween has come and gone; however many kids still have lots of sugar in them
scoundrel [369]
The punctuation for this sentence is incorrect. Since you are attempting to combine two independent clauses with a conjuctive adverb (however). The correct way to punctuate this sentence is:
"Halloween has come and gone; however, many kids still have lots of sugar in them."

Hope this helps!

At the time Freeman wrote "The Revolt of 'Mother'" women's role in society was very different from that of today. In an essay of
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

In "The Revolt of Mother" Freeman described women's role in the 19th century, when women were the only ones responsible for the household chores and for raising the children. In fact, these were the only things they were supposed to be occupied with as they wouldn't go to school like boys nor would they find a job. Freeman also describes the position of the mother in the family, where she couldn't participate in decision-making which concerned the house and the family including her. All important decisions were taken by the husband and even if the wife disagreed she couldn't do anything about it.

Today, in the Western world, women have gained the right to education and to equal opportunities in employment. Their role in the family has also changed as today the father participates in the household chores as well and he is also responsible for bringing up the children. Nowadays, the women can take important decisions concerning their lives and their families.

However, there some remnants from that era that are still with us today. For example, even if women have gained the right to vote there are still less women in the Parliaments than men. In addition to this, there are plenty of jobs in which they prefer to hire men or where women and men are not equally paid.  Last but not least, many people still believe that women should have a different role in the family than men.

In conclusion, although the position of women has improved a lot since the era of Freeman, there are still many issues to be resolved.
