Answer:

"let us sport us while we may"

"at once our time devour"

Explanation:

These are the statements that are most compatible with a <em>carpe diem</em> perspective. <em>Carpe diem</em> is the idea of seizing the day. It refers to an attitude that supports the idea of enjoying life while you can, without worries, and without concern about the future. In these lines, the author states that they will have fun while they can, and that they will devour their time, which are compatible ideas with this philosophy.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The theme chosen for the rehearsal was: The importance of the wedding gift for Indian culture.

Explanation:

Wedding gifts are a very important point to highlight in the most different cultures in the world. In all regions, this type of gift is very welcome and while some countries, the gift does not have to be something thought out, elaborated (and sometimes not even given), in India it is taken very seriously.

For the Indians, the wedding gift means a lot to the bride and groom and always has to be given an object that is very useful and functional that helps in domestic life and brings beauty to the home.

Plates, cutlery, glasses, furniture are the most prominent wedding gifts in this culture. This says a lot about the affection and care that guests have with the bride and groom. This indicates that the guests want to help with domestic life.

This vision of the present is very beneficial because it avoids the economic expense and the purchase of expensive, garish things that are useless, besides occupying space and dust. In addition, gift-giving narrows the bonds between families and friends, which is one of the most important bonds we have.
