Answer:
Only natives have ever seen the hydrophobic skunk because it is probably just a myth.
Explanation:
Irvin S. Cobb (1876-1944) was an American humorist and author. The story "The Hydrophobic Skunk" is filled with sarcasm and wit.
Right from the beginning, we are told that no one has ever seen a hydrophobic skunk. That is, no one except the natives who live around the Grand Canyon. However, the way the narrator describes it makes it seem that it is all a lie, a legend:
"I met plenty of tourists who had seen people who had see him, but never a tourist who had seen him with his own eyes."
This is clearly not just a rare animal, for rare animals are seen by someone. This is a mythical creature, a figment of someone's imagination, since no one ever sees it. They claim to know someone who has seen it, but nobody ever claims to have seen it themselves.

Kate's grandmother was born in Belgium and she says she is Flemish. Anne's grandmother was also born in Belgium and she says she is French. In some areas of Belgium, all signs are in French and are not possible to read unless you know the French language. The same is true for other areas with all signs in Flemish. What is creating the divide between these two cultures?
Answer: Language
Explanation:
The divide between the Flemish Belgians and the French Belgians seems to stem from language. The Flemish have their own side of Belgium where street signs are in Flemish and the French Belgians have the same in their side of Belgium.
This situation where both languages are spoken has led to both cultures experiencing a divide with one side espousing the need to speak one language and the other side doing the same. If they spoke the same language, there would be no divide - all else being equal - because they would integrate more.

Freedom by Langston Hughes
Freedom will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.
Freedom
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too.
I want my freedom
Just as you.

The Great Gatsby: Chapters 6-7 quiz
When they come over on horseback to Gatsby’s house, what do Mr. and Mrs. Sloane and Tom do to Gatsby that’s extremely rude?
Answer:
Mr. and Mrs. Sloane and Tom leave. They do not wait for Gatsby.
Explanation:
"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) in which he explores themes such as the depravity of society and the decadence of the American dream.
The narrator is Nick, Gatsby's neighbor. Nick is cousin to Daisy, Gatsby's love interest. Daisy is married to millionaire Tom Buchanan, an unfaithful and brute man. Mr. and Mrs. Sloane are just minor characters who, like Tom and Daisy, are wealthy and shallow.
At a certain point in the story, Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Sloane are riding their horses when they stop by Gatsby's house to have a drink of water. Gatsby, unlike them, is new money. He does not come from a wealthy, traditional family. Thus, he is desperate to be accepted by the old money society. When Mrs. Sloane, out of politeness, invites Gatsby to dine with them, Gatsby accepts the invitation without realizing it was not serious. While he goes inside his house for a moment, Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Sloane leave. They do not wait for him to come with them. It is interesting that they find Gatsby's acceptance of the invitation to be rude, but do not care when they are rude to him themselves.

Hi. Although you have not introduced the book this question refers to, we can see from the context of the question and the answer options that you are referring to the book "Frankenstein."
"Frankenstein" was written by Mary Shelley and tells the story of how Victor Frankenstein, a scientist fascinated by the possibility of creating life, manages to create a living being and suffers several consequences for this creation. Victor had been interested in science since his adolescence, but that interest was so great that it left Victor completely obsessed with the possibilities that science offered. He began studying non-stop, cutting off contact with family and friends. His goal was to fully focus on the study of science and the possibility of creating a living being, specifically, a human being.

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