Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Fortunato's dress foreshadows his being a fool or buffoon.

Explanation:

In the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", Edgar Allen Poe tells us about Montresor and his desire to avenge a thousand insults that his friend Fortunato had inflicted him with. The story deals with themes of deception, flattery, appearance and reality, revenge, etc.

In the given excerpt from the story, the narrator Montresor describes the clothing worn by Fortunato that carnival night. He states "[Fortunato] wore motley . . . had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells." The motley is a multi-colored suit worn by clowns, which is a reference to the character of Fortunato. This dress foreshadows Fortunato to be a fool or buffoon.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Which statement best describes the effect of rhythm on this excerpt? The rhythm suggests the cautious approach of a new acquaintance. The rhythm supports the fast pace of the narrator's immature love. The rhythm mirrors the lazy wandering of people strolling. The rhythm imitates the weary advancement of old age.

Answers

Answer:

The rhythm supports the fast pace of the narrator's immature love.

Explanation:

In William Butler Yeats' poem "Down by the Salley Gardens", the speaker is a lover who meets his beloved "down by the salley gardens". And being young, the speaker reveals his love for her, depicting the fast-paced nature of his immature love.

In the given lines from the poem, the speaker reveals how they met. The speaker admits, "I, being young and foolish" would not agree with her advice to take "love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree".

Throughout the four lines given, the rhythm focuses on the fast-paced nature of the speaker's love for 'his love', though immature.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

What does the verse in Song of Solomon 5:16 mean “His mouth is most sweet “thank you very much

Answers

Hi there! Are you reading the Bible? I very much enjoy to read the Bible as well. And, sometimes to understand the Bible you need someone to guide you. If you have any questions you can come to me anytime.

Let me explain, this story is not about two lovers and the singers, King Solomon,  the Queen of Sheba and the singers as many have proposed. Instead this song is a love story of a shepherd boy and a country girl, a Shulammite.

As described by the book published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society “All scripture is inspired by God and beneficial” states: “The material in the book is presented through a series of conversations. There is a constant change of speakers. The persons with speaking parts are Solomon the king of Jerusalem, a shepherd, his beloved Shulammite, her brothers, court ladies (“daughters of Jerusalem”), and women of Jerusalem (“daughters of Zion”).”

Now, what does the girl mean when his lovers “mouth is most sweet” or as my Bible translation states: “His mouth is sweetness itself”? What she means is that her lover says sweet things with his lips. His lips are sweet because they express through words desirable and beautiful things she needs to hear. She is in love with him, and hearing beautiful words from his lips livens more her love for him. Based on Elliot‘s commentary, he states: “His mouth is most sweet.—Literally, his palate… his voice is exquisitely sweet. Palate, is used of the organ of speech and speech itself”. The Bible Translation of the New World states: “Your palate is sweet”.

Answers

Answer:

It shows how religion is so ritualistic that people just go through the motions without much thought.

Explanation:

The given poem "Church Matters" is a poem about a woman getting the Holy Communion and how the act is done so casually. The poem is written in short lines, though without the use of any punctuation.

The woman was praying and then got communion, which is a reference to the flesh and blood of Christ as His sacrifice for the sins of mankind. But aside from the ritualistic element of the actions done by the woman, the motions seemed to be done without much thought, as if it is done out of necessity rather than religious belief.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
