read the following passage from “resistance to civil government” by Henry David Thoreau:
Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. it does not keep the country free. it does not settle the west. it does not educate. the character inherent in the american people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.
how does Thoreau use a parallelism in this passage?
a. to emphasize the words “but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way”
b. to draw attention to what the american people do that the government doesn’t
c. to add the surprising revelation that the government gets in the way of progress
d. to compare the government to an obstacle, such as a tall mountain or river
C would be the answer
The use of parallelism within the passage does insinuate that the government is but an obstacle obstructing advancement, but there was nothing that hinted the government to being as obstructive as a mountain/river, so D is out.
The other answers are simply irrelevant
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
5 Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
10 Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
Answer:
What does it mean to be "in disgrace" with "men's eyes"?
How are men looking at him?
Based on my understanding of William Shakespeare's Sonnet 29, The emotions portrayed of the speaker in Sonnet 29 are one of depression: he assumes himself to be "in disgrace with fortune," which means that he has been having bad luck. He also feels in disgrace with "men's eyes," concluding that the general public or the society looks at him unfavorably. These two things gave him the implication that he is lonely. Because the public eye looks at him unfriendly.
Explanation:
Based on my understanding of William Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 and upon reading it, I realized my answer.

parent has no right to control children above 16.
Answer:
Well, in the US, if you follow the law, then the parent(s) have all the right to 'control' children of 16 and 17.
Children hit maturity, and become adults, at the age of 18. Before that, they are still under the 'control' of their parents. That is simply what the law states. There is no argument on whether the child must listen to the parent when they are younger than 18.
How does Mary Shelley vary the tone of her writing in letters 1–4 of Frankenstein? Support your response with evidence from the text.
Answer:
Based on what I'm reading, it seems that the tone in the first two letters is apprehension. In letter 1, he is more hopeful for what the future holds, and in letter 2, he seems to get more impatient in finding someone who shares his interests. He befriends a man taken in by his ship, which parallels the relationship between man and monster, and suggests that the two may not be so different, hence their developed friendship and trust in each other.
Hope this helps, good luck!
(this is somebody elses answer but i do hope it helps)
Answer:
Mary Shelley changes the tone of the story from enthusiastic to foreboding in letters 1–4. Though Walton initially sounds excited about his journey, he reveals his loneliness to his sister. When Walton meets Frankenstein, his mood brightens. He immediately looks up to Frankenstein as the friend he always wanted, even though he does not know much about him.
The tone becomes foreboding when Victor warns Walton about the danger of too much ambition: "You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been."
This kind of foreshadowing in the form of a prophecy, warning, or prediction is typical of gothic novels.

EXERCISE VII: Read the passage and do the tasks below. Choose no more than THREE WORDS from the reading text that have the same meaning as the given definition to fill in each blank.
While couples without a clear or equal chore division may encounter quarrels over who does what, a recent survey finds the divorce rate among couples sharing chores equally is about fifty percent higher than those in which wives do more or most of the housework, which can be a slap in the face for gender equality.
The researchers explain that modern couples organize their marriage and work out the tasks and duties, which may gradually turn their marriage into a business or contractual relationship. The woman may gradually feel less needed or happy and what's worse is that no one would care to help if something is not among their assigned chores. That seems to encourage conflicts rather than conflict resolution skills.
On the contrary, in families without equal task division women tend to be responsible for more chores than men. While they believe they can exchange their roles for their husbands', many women believe they are most naturally suited for certain tasks. They simply enjoy being involved in their children's activities, which means more chores for them. This group of women also report more marital satisfaction.
The survey also aimed to find out whether women's were happier if men shared more of the burden. In fact, they find that men report fewer family conflicts and greater well-being while women appear to be largely unmoved. This may be partly because they feel less guilty or simply learn how to have a quiet life.

Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and the information in the paragraph below it.
Excerpt:
ANTONY. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interrèd with their bones.
So let it be with Caesar.
Background information:
"The Evil That Men Do” is the title of a song by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The lyrics of the chorus say that people’s evil deeds live on.
Iron Maiden’s reference to the line from Shakespeare’s play is an example of
cultural allusion.
literary allusion.
historical allusion.
religious allusion.
Answer:
Iron Maiden's reference to the line from Shakespeare's play is an example of:
B. literary allusion.
Explanation:
The figure of speech known as allusion happens when an author references to something or someone, but in an indirect manner. For instance, suppose you are writing an essay about kindness and selflessness. If you call someone a good Samaritan, you are alluding to a biblical character known for his kindness. When making an allusion, just like that one, the author expects the reader or listener to know what he is talking about. You do not explain what a good Samaritan is, since you expect your readers to know about the biblical story.
That is what we have in Iron Maiden's song: a literary allusion. The composer of the lyrics used lines from Shakespeare's play, from a literary work. He does not explain them, but he expects his listeners to know what he is referencing to.
Answer: B. literary allusion.
