Pride and Prejudice

by Jane Austen

The invitation was accepted of course, and at a proper hour they joined the party in Lady Catherine's drawing room. Her ladyship received them civilly, but it was plain that their company was not exactly wanted; she was, in fact, almost engrossed by her nephews, Fitzwilliam and Darcy, speaking to them, especially to Darcy, much more than to any other person in the room. Colonel Fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them; anything was a welcome relief to him at his aunt's; and Elizabeth Bennet had moreover caught his fancy very much. He now seated himself by her, and talked so agreeably of Kent and Hertfordshire, of traveling and staying at home, of new books and music, that Elizabeth had never been half so well entertained in that room before; and they conversed with so much spirit, as to draw the attention of Lady Catherine herself, as well as of Mr. Darcy. His eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned toward them with a 100k Of curiosity; and that her ladyship, after a while, shared the feeling, was more openly acknowledged, for she did not hesitate to call out: "What is that you are saying, Fitzwilliam? What is it you are talking of? What are you telling Miss Bennet? Let me hear what it is." "We are speaking of music, madam," said he, when no longer able to avoid a reply. "Of music! Then pray speak aloud. It is of all subjects my delight. I must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music. There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great musician.... "l often tell young ladies that no excellence in music is to be acquired without constant practice. I have told Miss Bennet several times, that she will never play really well unless she practices more; and though Mrs. Collins has no instrument, she is very welcome, as I have often told her, to come here every day and play on the piano. She would be in nobody's way, you know, in that part of the house." Mr. Darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunt's ill breeding.

Read the passage. (1) Many American men were drafted during World War II. (2) Many other men volunteered to serve. (3) In fact, so many men entered the armed services that professional baseball experienced a shortage of good players. (4) Philip K. Wrigley had an interesting solution to the problem. (5) He started a new league. (6) It was called the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). (7) To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs. (8) They were very popular at that time. (9) The AAGPBL was a hit. (10) In 1948, the year in which the league reached its high point of popularity, more than a million fans came to watch AAGPBL games. (11) The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker. (12) Dorothy Kamenshek was also a fine player. (13) After World War II ended, the AAGPBL declined in popularity. (14) In 1954, the league was disbanded. Which is the most effective way to combine sentences (11) and (12)? The league produced many fine players, and they include Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek. The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek. The league produced many fine players, Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek also was fine. The league produced many fine players, Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek.

Answers

Answer:

"To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs, which were very popular at that time." is the correct answer. The last choice makes it sound like he's only scouting the popular women's softball clubs rather than all of them. The second to last option is not grammatically correct because of the comma between scouted and women's. The second option just replaces the period with  a comma and and, which makes it still seem as if the two pieces of information are separate.

Explanation:

BRUTUS. It must be by his death: and for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at him But for the general. He would be crowned: How that might change his nature, there’s the question. It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, And that craves wary walking. Crown him that, And then I grant we put a sting in him That at his will he may do danger with. Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar, I have not known when his affections swayed More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder, Whereto the climber-upward turns his face; But when he once attains the upmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend. So Caesar may. Then lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel Will bear no colour for the thing he is, Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented, Would run to these and these extremities; And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous, And kill him in the shell. How does the characterization of Caesar in this passage connect to the central idea of the passage? By reflecting on Caesar’s position in society, Brutus comes to realize that Caesar has lost integrity as a ruler and that he must join the plot to assassinate Caesar. When Brutus allows himself to be convinced to join the conspiracy against Caesar, it seals his fate and leads to his ultimate defeat and death. Brutus decides to join the conspiracy against Caesar because he fears that Caesar will become ruthless once he has absolute power. Brutus decides that he must prevent Caesar from becoming ruthless as a result of having absolute power, but in the end it is Brutus who is corrupted by power.

Read the excerpt from "Gawayne." Now the giant cried aloud: "Yield or fight, King Arthur; which will you do? If you fight I shall conquer you, for you have no power to resist me; you will be my prisoner, with no hope of ransom, will lose your land and spend your life in my dungeon with many other brave knights. If you yield I will hold you to ransom, but you must swear to accept the terms I shall offer." What kind of conflict do the details in this excerpt reveal? character vs. self character vs. society character vs. nature character vs. character

Answers

Answer:

Character vs. Character.

Explanation:

In a literary work of art, the conflict is when there are two or more opposing forces that will eventually lead to the rising action and thus lead to another major conflict between the characters or themes/ ideas. This conflict in any plot gives a sense of suspense and holds the readers' interest, making them more absorbed into the story.

In the given excerpt, the conflict is that of a character against another character. This is seen when the giant taunts King Arthur to fight him, revealing his conditions too. If he wins, King Arthur will be put in captive along with "other brave knights" in a dungeon and if he yields, he will still be held in ransom. The giant also feels confident of his victory over the King, laying out his conditions even before the King can reply. This conflict is that of the giant's character against that of the king's.

Answers

Answer:

Best Version:

a. Bernice was waiting for a letter of support from Alice Delany, PhD, with the United Way Foundation in Fort Worth, Texas.

Explanation:

Commas are used to enclose items in professional titles and academic.  And the second element in a geographical name is usually separated by the use of a comma.  The placement of commas in a sentence follows some usage rules.  By punctuating the academic title "PhD," there is a separation of the title from the titleholder.  In the same light, the separation of the first geographical name indicates that "Forth Worth" is a part of "Texas."  Without the comma, it will look as if there was an absolute location named "Forth Worth Texas," and not that "Forth Worth" is in "Texas."

Answers

Answer:

In order to get Mahes, and people like him, to stop seeking out prison time, New York need to establish job opportunities in order to engage such people and/or charity organizations that can house these set of people and endeavour to assist them.

Explanation:

From the text "A Thief Dines Out, Hoping Later to Eat In" By Rick Bragg on The New York Times, we can infer that Mr. Mahes needed were he could eat well and sleep. So he felt that he could get it in the prison.

When Mr. Mahes came into New York City, he thought he was going to find milk and honey but he didn't. People tend to help and feed their own and neglected others

Mr. Mahes and other poor people like him can stay out of prison if there is adequate provisions like adequate job opportunities, free housing, workable charity organizations, etc., that can help them.

Read these sentences. More and more countries are spying not just on their enemies but on nations that are friendly to them as well. If this continues, the world will be filled with countries that isolate themselves, and all nations will be unfriendly to each other. Which logical fallacy do these sentences demonstrate? genetic fallacy slippery slope false cause cherry picking

Answers

The logical fallacy demonstrated in the given sentences is the slippery slope fallacy.

The slippery slope fallacy occurs when it is assumed that a particular event or action will inevitably lead to a series of increasingly negative consequences without sufficient evidence to support such a claim. In this case, the sentences suggest that if countries continue to spy not only on their enemies but also on friendly nations, it will inevitably result in a world where all nations become unfriendly to each other and isolate themselves.

However, this argument fails to provide a clear causal link or evidence to support the claim that increased spying will lead to such extreme outcomes. It presents an exaggerated, speculative scenario without considering other potential factors, alternative possibilities, or the complexities of international relations.

To avoid the slippery slope fallacy, it is important to critically evaluate the evidence and logical connections between events, considering alternative explanations and potential mitigating factors that may impact the predicted outcomes.

An -al at the end of a word indicates a/an

Answers

Answer:

A suffix.

Explanation:

A suffix is a morpheme added to a stem word to form a new word. By adding suffix at the end of a stem word, we are able to form a new word.

For example, the noun word 'account' is used to form a new word 'accountable' by adding suffix '-able'. Similarly, the noun word 'accountant' is formed by adding suffix '-ant' to the stem word 'account.'

In the given question, '-al' is a suffix which refers to an 'act or process of' something. For example, the word 'appraisal' is formed by adding '-al' to the stem word 'appraise.'

So, the correct answer is a suffix.

Why were women considered the property of men in the Elizabethan era?

Answers

Answer: A. Why didn't women write during certain historical periods?

Explanation:

Woolf analyzes the history literature written by women showing that the lack of time, privacy, and economic self-sufficiency, all required to be able to be writers, were historically denied to women.

She states that it was her aunt´s inheritance that allowed her dedication to write, in opposition to the life of most women.
