Which two sentences in this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" most closely reflects the central theme of the
passage?
His guests shivered again. A strange chillness, whether of the body or spirit they could not tell was creeping gradually over them all. They
gazed at one another, and fancied that each fleeting moment snatched away a charm, and left a deepening furrow where none had been
before. Was it an illusion? Had the changes of a lifetime been crowded into so brief a space, and were they now four aged people, sitting with
their old friend, Dr. Heidegger?
"Are we grown old again, so soon?" cried they, dolefully.
In truth they had. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine. The delirium which it created had
effervesced away. Yes! they were old again. With a shuddering impulse, that showed her a woman still, the widow clasped her skinny hands
before her face, and wished that the coffin-lid were over it since it could be no longer beautiful.
"Yes, friends, ye are old again," said Dr. Heidegger, "and lo! the Water of Youth is all lavished on the ground. Well, I bemoan it not: for if the
fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips in it: no, yough its delirium were for years instead of moments. Such
is the lesson ye have taught me!"
But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at
morning, noon, and night from the Fountain of Youth.

Answer:
C. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine.
F. But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.
Explanation:
Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" revolves around the scientific experiment of a doctor about "the Fountain of Youth" by using his four friends as his test subjects. And as they grow younger with the water, they became more greedy and foolish, reverting to their selves when they were young.
The theme of longevity and the desire to be young, along with the foolishness of man that arises out of the pessimistic view of one's nature are represented in this story. And the sentences that best reflect the theme are sentences C and F. These two sentences present how the doctor views the water of Youth to be, "more transient than that of wine". Its effects stayed momentarily and couldn't give them permanent or long-lasting happiness/ youth. But despite their re-discovering of the foolishness and greed that their 'youth' brings, the friends still resolved to take a pilgrimage to Florida and bask in the water "morning, noon and night".
Answer
C. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine.
F. But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.

Radio was a new thrill for many Americans in the 1920s, but it had extraordinary value for the isolated farm families of the Midwest, for whom solitude loomed as a daily problem. Radio was a source of music and fun, information and weather reports, and it was an easy way to enjoy the pleasure of other people's company. In-person visiting was a special event that often meant putting on dress clothes and serving cakes and lemonade and gathering politely in the parlor; frequently the press of chores or bad weather made that impossible. But with a radio, women could continue their housework as they listened to a friendly voice; men working in the barn had access to weather reports and farm programs.
From:
Stern, Jane, and Michael Stern. Two for the Road: Our Love Affair with American Food. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005.
Using the source:
Jane Stern and Michael Stern note that because many midwestern farm families were isolated, radio provided a new thrill and extraordinary value (103).

Quince: But there is two hard things: that is, to bring the moonlight into a chamber; for you know, Pyramus and Thisby meet by moonlight. What does the word chamber mean here?
Answer:
The word "chamber" means a room.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's comedy play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" revolves around the comic love o the numerous characters with the upcoming wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta as the backdrop for the love theme. With the numerous characters intertwined in their love affections, the play focused on how people perceive love to be something that is only about physical appearance and not care much about the emotional value/ aspect.
The given dialogue of Quince in Act III scene i of the play reveals the problem of bringing "moonlight" in a room. With the plan to perform the love story of Pyramus and Thisby for the newly wed couple Theseus and Hippolyta, the performers were going through the particulars that they had to take care of for their performance. And since the play will be presented in an enclosed room and not the outside, they had to make certain changes to it. Like, a real lion in the scene which will be replaced by a person providing a prologue where he declares the lion isn't a real lion. Likewise, considering Pyramus and Thisby met at night, under the moonlight, and with a wall in between them, it is only natural to try to replicate the scene in however much they can manage. For that, they had to find ways to make it seem reasonable, with a man acting as the wall while someone holds a lantern and a bush.
Thus, when Quince mentions that "to bring the moonlight into a chamber" is a hard thing, he is talking about how to bring "moonlight" inside a room.

Read this excerpt from "The Third Philippic," written by Demosthenes in 342 B.C.:
It is this fate, I solemnly assure you, that I dread for you, when the time comes that you make your reckoning, and realize that there is no longer anything that can be done. May you never find yourselves, men of Athens, in such a position! Yet in any case, it were better to die ten thousand deaths, than to do anything out of servility towards Philip [or to sacrifice any of those who speak for your good]. A noble recompense did the people in Oreus receive, for entrusting themselves to Philip’s friends, and thrusting Euphraeus aside! And a noble recompense the democracy of Eretria, for driving away your envoys, and surrendering to Cleitarchus! They are slaves, scourged and butchered! A noble clemency did he show to the Olynthians, who elected Lasthenes to command the cavalry, and banished Apollonides! It is folly, and it is cowardice, to cherish hopes like these, to give way to evil counsels, to refuse to do anything that you should do, to listen to the advocates of the enemy’s cause, and to fancy that you dwell in so great a city that, whatever happens, you will not suffer any harm.

Answer:
A SUPERPOWER I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
I have always been intrigued by the idea of time travel ever since i was a little child. I watched cartoons about characters that could move through dimensions and go back to the past to change something or enter the future to get something.
The superpower i would like to have is the ability to time travel partly because i would love to travel to the past and witness the things i can only read in books. I would love to meet Jesus and know the kind of man he was, i would also want to meet Julius Caesar and ask him some questions about how he was able to lead a vast empire such as the Roman empire. I would also be a great honor to meet Thomas Edison and ask him how he persevered even after he kept failing at his experiments before he eventually succeeded.
It would be really cool to have this superpower because i can relive my past and also move into the future, for sure, it would be exciting.
