In the short story "The Nose," by Nikolai Gogol, what common value in
Russian culture might Kovaloff's nose represent?
A. That everybody deserves the opportunity to obtain power
B. That one's knowledge is more important than one's looks
C. That appearance and power are closely related
D. That power and appearances are not related in any way

Answer:

C. That appearance and power are closely related.

Explanation:

Nikolai Gogol's short story The Nose revolves around the loss of the nose by a high ranking government official from the Russian administration. And through this loss of a facial feature, the man was unable to execute any of his normal work and even lost his confidence in dealing with matters.

Collegiate Assessor "Major" Kovalyov prides himself on his position. He would refer to himself as "Major" and also did not miss any chance to show off. His power also infused him with confidence that would lead to some 'gentlemanly' manner especially when in the company of a beautiful lady. But once the nose is lost, he lost all of that confidence. He felt powerless and hid in the most concealing manner, afraid to meet or talk to anyone who might recognize him. The approach of his nose in the church also shows his desire to be more powerful, demanding that it return to him for it is his personal property. His refusal to reveal his name to the advertising agency when he went to address his lost nose shows his embarrassment at being in that situation. And once the nose is returned, he felt back to his own self.

So, the representation of the nose can be seen as something where power and appearance are related. They appear side by side and allows the person to be what he wants to be. This shows that the Russian culture values appearance and power and they find them closely related to one another.

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.

A. A gracious hostess who makes her guests feel comfortable and wanted
B. A braggart who thinks she knows everything even though she doesn't
C. A shy woman who is greatly admired by her guests and her nephews

War by William Graham Sumner

The Monroe Doctrine is an exercise of authority by the United States over a controversy between two foreign states, if one of them is in America, combined with a refusal of the United States to accept any responsibility in connection with the controversy. That is a position which is sure to bring us into collision with other States, especially because it will touch their vanity, or what they call their honor — or it will touch our vanity, or what we call our honor, if we should ever find ourselves called upon to "back down" from it. Therefore it is very true that we must expect to need a big navy if we adhere to the doctrine. What can be more contrary to sound statesmanship and common sense than to put forth an abstract assertion which has no definite relation to any interest of ours now at stake, but which has in it any number of possibilities of producing complications which we cannot foresee, but which are sure to be embarrassing when they arise! What has just been said suggests a consideration of the popular saying, "In time of peace prepare for war." If you prepare a big army and navy and are all ready for war, it will be easy to go to war; the military and naval men will have a lot of new machines and they will be eager to see what they can do with them. There is no such thing nowadays as a state of readiness for war. It is a chimera, and the nations which pursue it are falling into an abyss of wasted energy and wealth. When the army is supplied with the latest and best rifles, someone invents a new field gun; then the artillery must be provided with that before we are ready. By the time we get the new gun, somebody has invented a new rifle and our rival nation is getting that; therefore we must have it, or one a little better. It takes two or three years and several millions to do that. In the meantime somebody proposes a more effective organization which must be introduced; signals, balloons, dogs, bicycles, and every other device and invention must be added, and men must be trained to use them all. There is no state of readiness for war; the notion calls for never-ending sacrifices. It is a fallacy. It is evident that to pursue such a notion with any idea of realizing it would absorb all the resources and activity of the state; this the great European states are now proving by experiment.

A.) A nation cannot expect peace by making preparations for war

B.) A state of peace will always lead to a state of war

C.) War is essential for the advancement of human society

D.) War is beneficial only to arms and weapons manufacturers

E.) Mankind is driven by its primal nature to engage in conflict

Read the following text reproduced from neil postman's amusing ourselves to death.
The television commercial is the most peculiar and pervasive form of communication to issue forth from the electric plug. The move away from the use of propositions in commercial advertising began at the end of the nineteenth century. But it was not until the 1950's that the television commercial made linguistic discourse obsolete as the basis for product decisions. By substituting images for claims, the pictorial commercial made emotional appeal, not tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions. Which of the following is not a plagiarized version of the above?
a. television commercials have made language obselete as a basis for making decisions about products. the pictorial commercial has substituted images for claims and thereby made emotional appeal, rather than tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions.
b. postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.
