MACBETH. … all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

What is the main idea of this famous speech from Act V of The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare?

Macbeth is refusing to accept the idea of his wife’s death.

Macbeth is realizing that all of his striving for power has been for nothing.

Macbeth is gathering his strength for the battle that is to come.

Macbeth is expressing concern about the upcoming battle.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Macbeth is realizing that all of his striving for power has been for nothing.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the story of a general who commits horrendous crimes to get the throne of Scotland. The play or story deals with themes of greed, loyalty, evil against good, guilt, supernatural, and ambition, among others.

In the given quote from Macbeth from Act V scene v, we see Macbeth reacting to the news of his wife's death. He declares that "life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more." This is similar to the "The Seven Ages of Man" from Shakespeare's "As You Like It". Macbeth seems to realize the futility of all things, be it the ambitious desire to be in power or be mighty.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

A vowel digraph is one sound spelled which two vowel letters . true or false​

Answers

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

A phoneme is often defined as the smallest unit of speech which makes it possible for us to distinguish one word from another. For instance, the difference between "grow" and "crow" lies in the phonemes /g/ and /c/.

A vowel digraph happens when we use two written vowels to produce only one phoneme. Think, for example, of the word "moon". We use two vowels "o" to produce only one sound, which is a long /u/. Therefore, the affirmation in the question is TRUE.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Digraphs that spell vowel sounds include the letter pairs ai, ay, ee, ea, ie, ei, oo, ou.

“The problem with plastic bags isn't just where they end up, it's that they never seem to end.”
Which words should be emphasized in the sentence above?
a.
with, they
c.
problem, never, end
b.
problem, end
d.
with, just, seem

Answers

Answer:

c.  problem, never, end.

Explanation:

Emphasizing is done when there is the need to focus, to stress or make it more relevant or highlight an important point. This is done so that whatever is emphasized is the important point in a sentence or passage. So, we emphasize a certain point or issue when we want to stress its importance.

In the given sentence, the main emphasis will be on the terms "problem", "never" and "end". These words are emphasized to make the issue of plastic waste seem more problematic or dangerous, to emphasize the pollution issue. So, if these three words are emphasized, then the readers can understand the importance of how dangerous plastic waste is.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.

Excerpt from Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children By Ransom Riggs I picked up the flashlight and stepped toward the trees. My grandfather was out there somewhere, I was sure of it. But where? I was no tracker, and neither was Ricky. And yet something seemed to guide me anyway—a quickening in the chest; a whisper in the viscous air—and suddenly I couldn’t wait another second. I tromped into the underbrush like a bloodhound scenting an invisible trail. It’s hard to run in Florida woods, where every square foot not occupied by trees is bristling with thigh-high palmetto spears and nets of entangling skunk vine, but I did my best, calling my grandfather’s name and sweeping my flashlight everywhere. I caught a white glint out of the corner of my eye and made a beeline for it, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a bleached and deflated soccer ball I’d lost years before. I was about to give up and go back for Ricky when I spied a narrow corridor of freshly stomped palmettos not far away. I stepped into it and shone my light around; the leaves were splattered with something dark. My throat went dry. Steeling myself, I began to follow the trail. The farther I went, the more my stomach knotted, as though my body knew what lay ahead and was trying to warn me. And then the trail of the flattened brush widened out, and I saw him.

Either D. or E.

State three consequences of students accumulating tuition debt during their period of study

Answers

Answer:

Lower Credit Score

Having a high amount of student loans and tuition debt means that your FICO score will reflect this amount of debt and if it is defaulted on even once or timely payments are not made, your credit score will suffer which will make life so much harder in a country like the U.S.

Unable to buy a house

For a long time after college, you will probably be unable to buy a house unless you find a really good job that will help you pay off the student loan. This is because the loan already means that you have a high debt burden and then keeping up with both those payments and mortgage payments can be difficult.

Forgoing your dream career

A lot of the time, people are forced to give up the life they wanted in order to pursue another job that will enable them pay off their student loans especially in cases where their dream careers don't pay much or will take some time to pay off.
