1. Reread this passage from Josh Billings's lecture on "Snails, Snakes, and Babies."

The striped snake is one of the slipperiest jobs that nature ever turned loose.

They travel on the lower side of themselves, and can slip out of sight like blowing out a candle. They were made for some good purpose, but I never have been informed for what, unless it was to have their heads smashed.

They are said to be innocent, but they have got a bad reputation, and all the innocence in the world won't cure a bad reputation.

If you can’t think of anything for this, I encourage you to reflect simply on the act of keeping secrets and why we sometimes have to/choose to keep things private, how you feel about that, whether you’re a good secret keeper, etc.
In 10 sentences or more.
Please help me.

Answers

We keep secrets to protect ourselves and our relationships, and secrecy can achieve those effects. It hurts to keep secrets. Secrecy is associated with lower well-being, worse health, and less satisfying relationships. Research has linked secrecy to increased anxiety, depression, symptoms of poor health, and even the more rapid progression of disease.

Answer:

Keeping secrets are often bad things but, they can be good. Some people keep secrets to save people and that can be a good thing. Some secrets are kept for the sake of keeping drama out and that can also be good. Personally, I am a good secret keeper however, I do not feel keeping secrets are always good. Some secrets do not need to be kept and some do. Therefore, I feel neutral about keeping secrets. Keeping secrets can be good and bad and thus why I have no set feeling on it. Although keeping secrets can be good, it can create a big weight on you and that can be very stressful and self draining, and that, is not good. Say your best friend did cheated on a test, and someone asks you about it. Keeping that secret can be bad for you but good for them so they don't get in trouble. However, if the truth comes out you both get in trouble so, I say you have to pick and choose which secrets to keep and which ones not to. In conclusion, keeping secrets can be good or bad but sometimes we need to choose which secrets to keep.

What was the perspective of the author of white man's burden

Answers

As Victorian imperial poetry, "The White Man's Burden" thematically corresponds to Kipling's belief that the British Empire was the Englishman's "Divine Burden to reign God's Empire on Earth"; and celebrates British colonialism as a mission of civilisation that eventually would benefit the colonised natives.

Though the spread of education and self-consciousness have empowered women of India today significantly, we can still see social evils such as dowry, child marriage, female infanticide, honor killing, etc. Ending crimes against women remain a challenge. You are Anu, representing the women forum of Hindu Colony, Dadar East, Mumbai. Write a letter of complaint to the mayor of the city in not more than 120 words regarding crimes against women and to speed up reforms for women’s progress.

Answers

Dear Mayor.

Through this letter, I humbly emphasize the importance of the elaboration of policies in favor of the right and protection of women in our society. While it is correct to say that many advances have been made, allowing women's lives to improve significantly, we still have a long way to go so that women in our city, and in our country as a whole, have full freedom and full access to all the rights.

In our city, we can witness cases of sexism and domestic violence in many environments. Our women are constantly victims of abuse, limitations, in addition, we can cases in which women do not have access to equal pay, are used as a bargaining chip, are victims of revenge murder, in addition to being subjected to forced marriages (still being children), infanticide and many other situations that can no longer be tolerated.

For social change to happen in our city, it is important that this change happens in the political context that governs our city. We need stricter laws and more female representation in the elaboration of local policies, so that we can, in fact, endure strong and beneficial social, political and economic change for women.

I thank you for your attention.

Reflexive pronouns are those pronouns used to refer to the same noun as the subject of the verb in the sentence. They are used when the object is the same as the subject.

In the given sentence, the reflexive pronoun to use will be "themselves". This is because the subject/pronoun is "they", thus, reflecting the subject.
