Answer:

What the minister of Westbury means by "<em>veil of eternity</em>" in this line from <em>The Minister's Black Veil</em> is that veil <em>that separates this life from the next.</em> <u>The correct answer is the last one.</u>

Explanation:

In this line, we can clearly see how the author uses a <em>metaphor</em> to refer to that thing that separates one life from the next one, the one that is supposed to take us to eternity. This is the way of the author to make the minister say that, before dying (before the veil of eternity is lifted), he should cast aside the black veil from his face. This device (the metaphor) is very common in literature and <em>is a poetic way to say something</em>. In this case, <u>to lift the veil of eternity means to pass to eternity, to die, to leave the life as we know it, and go to the next level where we are supposed to become eternal souls.</u>

On the off chance that the Reverend is to be trusted, that hindrance dependably existed, and the cloak might be lifted in Heaven. This recommends separation is mankind's common condition of being.  

In "The Minister's Black Veil," Hawthorne portrays the lethal impacts that talk factories can have on networks. Reverend Hooper lives in Milford, a little Puritan town in New England, where even the proposal of transgression can make somebody be alienated. Hawthorne investigated this marvel in more noteworthy profundity in his great novel The Scarlet Letter.  

Hawthorne develops a demeanor of puzzle around Reverend Hooper's dark cloak. By declining to give perusers access to Hooper's purposes behind wearing the cover, he enables perusers to theorize about Hooper's inspirations. This puzzle fills the plot, which rotates around the craving to comprehend the criticalness of the dark shroud.

Using the best thesis statement listed below to compose an outline with three major supporting details and two minor supporting
liq [111]

A thesis statement should tell the reader what the paper is about and also help guide the writing and keep the argument focused. In this paragraph, the best thesis statement is, "Time Management will give you the opportunity to have a non-complicated in your life, focusing on your life."

Thesis: "Time Management will give you the opportunity to have a non-complicated in your life, focusing on your life."

1. No worries

  • Get a good night's sleep
  • Start the day with vitality

2. Have set goals

  • daily schedule- respect time frames for each activity
  • not in a hurry

3. Planning

  • Can check your goals in writing
  • Able to add reminders to keep on with the goals' accomplishment

The paragraph is short, so the main points made are the three major supporting details. Then, using additional points from the paragraph, you can find minor supporting detail for each major supporting detail. The answer could vary slightly depending on one's interpretation of what is the most important in the paragraph, but generally these are the main ideas.

 Note: I believe there may be a word missing in the thesis or the first sentence of the paragraph, after non-complicated and before in.
