Read the excerpt from The Crisis, Number I by Thomas Paine.

“Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to 'bind me in all cases whatsoever' to his absolute will, am I to suffer it? What signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.”

Which is the clearest and most objective summary of the excerpt?
Paine declares that it will take all the money in the world to convince him to support this war. He asks what difference it makes who his opponent is or what crime he commits. In either case, Paine asserts that he must be punished.
Paine says that war is terrible, and ordinarily nothing could have convinced him to support it. However, he also believes that if a person or group commits severe crimes against him, that party should be punished, no matter who they are.
Paine's claim that no amount of money could induce him to wage war is self-serving, but he argues rightly that anyone who threatens his safety or the safety of his family should be punished.
All the treasures of the world could not have induced me to support an offensive war, for it is murder; but if a thief threatens to kill me or my family should I suffer it? Does it matter if it is a king, a common man, my countryman or not? Should I punish one and pardon the other?

If you mean Athena the goddess of war and wisdom...I would say a hawk or eagle would represent her. Birds are peaceful creatures, but when they attack, they attack hard! Birds like owls are followed with wisdom, but a hawk in my opinion would best represent her. Since it is a peaceful creature, but will strike a "war" if necessary.

1. Claudius tells Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to find Hamlet and to bring Polonius's

body to the _______.

Answers

Answer:

Claudius tells Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to find Hamlet and to bring Polonius's  body to the chapel.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around a young prince and his desire to avenge the death of his father, the king. The story deals with themes of loyalty, love, gender, appearance vs. reality, power, etc.

In Act III, Hamlet had killed Polonius thinking he was Claudius. Act IV scene i shows Queen Gertrude informing her new husband King Claudius about the murder. And so, King Claudius orders Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to "[g]o seek [Hamlet] out; speak fair, and bring the body Into the chapel."

Thus, the correct answer for the blank is "chapel".

Bingley, Wickham, Darcy: out of these three male characters, choose one of them and argue if he is a static or dynamic character. Static: the character and their traits stay the same; Dynamic: the character and their traits change over the course of the plot.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Let's talk about Mr. Darcy. In "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, Darcy is certainly a dynamic character. He presents a tremendous evolution from the beginning of the novel until its ending.

Darcy is quite the introvert, which makes him unlikable in a society that demands high social skills. He is also righteous, but quite proud. If someone offends him, he does not forgive that person. His pride also leads him to assume that Elizabeth, the heroine of the story, will certainly agree to marry him. As a matter of fact, it is her refusal to do so that triggers his change. All his money, possessions, and status were not enough to make her marry him, so there must be something wrong.

After being criticized by Elizabeth, Darcy alters his behavior. He begins to make great effort to socialize with strangers, even if they are not in his same social rank. He also becomes more capable of forgiveness, which is evident in the way he chooses to accept Elizabeth's criticism instead of being offended by it. Darcy humbles himself and opens his mind to the fact that his manners can be reproachable and that his pride can hinder relationships.

Which is the closest antonym for the word Indigenous?

Press enter to interact with the item, and press tab button or down arrow until reaching the Submit button once the item is selected
A casual
B amateur
C foreign
D compelling

Answers

Answer:

C. foreign

Explanation:

An antonym can be defined as a word having the opposite meaning of another word.

For example, full is antonym of empty, tall is antonym for short, fat is to thin, happy is to sad, rich is to poor, light is to darkness, hot is cold, dry is to wet, etc.

Indigenous refers to a situation in which a person is born and a native of a particular town, village or state. Thus, he or she is engendered in that land or region and as such shall be referred to as an indigene.

Hence, the closest antonym for the word indigenous is foreign because if you're not a native of a particular region, you're referred to as a foreigner.

What is the meaning of Punctuation?

The tool that helps us organize our thoughts and make it simpler to review and share our ideas is punctuation. Periods, commas, apostrophes, quotations, questions, exclamations, brackets, braces, parentheses, dash, hyphens, ellipsis, colons, and semicolons are all acceptable forms of punctuation in English.

Punctuation is the use of white space, traditional signals, and specific typographical elements to help readers understand and interpret written material correctly, whether they are reading it silently or loudly.

Included with simple punctuation are capital letters. a proper noun, a proper adjective, or the opening letter of a sentence. The full stop. a punctuation mark is used to show that a sentence is a statement or a command and has ended. Greek playwrights began employing certain simple symbols in the fifth century BC to indicate where performers should pause and the scholar.

Hence, option D is correct.
