What did Mary and her friends discuss at dinner while staying at Lord Byron’s house in Switzerland?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

They all discussed to try their hands on supernatural stories.

Explanation:

Mary Shelly, Persy Bysshe Shelley, Mary's step sister Claire Clairmont, Lord Byron, and Dr. John Polidori were friends. In the summer of 1816, they decided to spend their time in Switzerland. They all stayed in Villa Diodati, the house of Lord Byron in Switzerland.

On one night, they all gathered together and were reading the German ghost stories 'Fantasmagoriana.' They all came up with an idea of trying their hands on supernatural stories.

It is during this time, Mary's most celebrated novel 'Frankenstein' was born. In the preface of Frankenstein, we come to know about the friendships between these prominent writers as well as the plan of writing the ghost stories.

So, they all discussed to write ghost stories at dinner at Byron's house in Switzerland.

3. Why do more than half of enterprise application projects exceed budgets, deliver less than expected benefits, or experience overruns?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

More than half of enterprise application projects exceed budgets, deliver less than expected benefits, or experience overruns due to the following reasons.

These projects many times lack proper planning and preparation, underestimating basic factors such as finances, forecasting, budget, internal and external conditions, political and economic factors. When the budget is not properly developed, the underfinancing of the project is a common result. The project director has to be very aware of the correct cost estimation to calculate the money that is going to be needed during the whole life of the project, from the beginning to the end.

Risk management is another factor that always is unseen by many companies. And when undesirable things happen, the company is not protected to face the contingencies.

O C. Beckett begins with the idea of endings.

O D. Hamm walks around and around the chess board.

Answers

Answer:

C). Beckett begins with the idea of endings.

Explanation:

'Endgame' by Samuel Beckett works upon the existentialist philosophy and belongs to the 'theater of absurd.' It is often considered as the follow up of Beckett's classic work 'Waiting for Godot.'

As per the question, the play authorizes the idea of circularity as the play begins and ends on the same note i.e. 'intertwining of beginning and end.' It is based upon the key idea of 'hopelessness' and the characters are endlessly waiting for 'nothing' but death. Clove internally feels 'he need to live' and plans of leaving but could not and goes back to the same situation(reflects absurdity and nothingness). Thus, the entire play moves around this very idea and hence, option C is the correct answer.

Who orders that the wedding preparations be converted to funeral preparations?

A. Friar Laurence
B. Romeo
C. Juliet
D. Nurse
E. Lord Capulet
F. Lady Capulet
G. Paris
H. Tybalt

Answers

Answer:

E. Lord Capulet.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Ju liet revolves around the love story of Romeo and Ju liet who came from feuding families. Their illegal love led to their deaths but in this act of dying for their true love, they showed that true love matters the most and also healed the rift between their families.

In Act IV of the play, Ju liet was supposed to marry Paris but she committed su icide by consuming poison, which in truth, was just a sleeping potion that Friar Lawrence had planned alongside them in order to allow Romeo to steal her and go far away. On the proposed day of her wedding, she was found dead. It is in scene v where her father Lord Capulet declared-

"All things that we ordained festival

Turn from their office to black funeral.

Our instruments to melancholy bells,

Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast.

Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change,

Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse,

And all things change them to the contrary."

case study: discrimination in the workplace by Elaine E.Englehardt
Are her co-workers correct in their evaluation?​

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Marian co-workers are not correct in their evaluation because of the following reason.

We are talking about a black woman called Marian, who studied at Loyola University. She was hired by a company to be a manager. She was notably smarter than other peers, and regarding her performance in the workplace, she was scored high. But being the only African American woman in the office, she felt alone. But one day she heard where her peers were complaining to the supervisor about her lack of qualifications, and they also mentioned that Marian had an unpleasant personality. Of course, this made Marian angry and she is thinking of quitting.

That is why Marian co-workers are not correct in their evaluation because they are taking things personally. They are envious of her performance and abilities. Her co-workers feel they are being threatened for her skills. And probably, they did not like the fact that she is a black woman, which makes things worse.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from '"The Crab That Played with the Sea"('Before...what to play at'), the author's chief purpose is 'to entertain' the readers. The imagination of the creation made by the Eldest Magician in a sequential story-like manner('first..got..earth ready, sea..ready, then..told animals..to come and play') fascinates and amuses the readers. The latter description of the unique play by the Magician and each animal's part/role in it(he took..elephant..all-the-elephant-there-was..played at') captivates the readers' interest and keep them engaged. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

A person with normal vision can focus on objects as close as a few centimeters from the eye up to objects infinitely far away. There exist, however, certain conditions under which the range of vision is not so extended. For example, a nearsighted person cannot focus on objects farther than a certain point (the far point), while a farsighted person cannot focus on objects closer than a certain point (the near point). Note that even though the presence of a near point is common to everyone, a farsighted person has a near point that is much farther from the eye than the near point of a person with normal vision. Both nearsightedness and farsightedness can be corrected with the use of glasses or contact lenses. In this case, the eye converges the light coming from the image formed by the corrective lens rather than from the object itself.If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50 m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that the person would need to see an object at infinity clearly?
