Which of the following couplets from Shakespeare's Sonnet 138 employs double entendre to express the theme that physical love triumphs over all failures?

That she might think me some untutor'd youth / Unlearned in the world's false subtleties

Therefore I lie with her and she with me / And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be

When my love swears that she is made of truth / I do believe her, though I know she lies

O, love's best habit is in seeming trust / And age in love loves not to have years told

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

O, love's best habit is in seeming trust / And age in love loves not to have years told.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 138" deals with the issues of love relationship and his insecurities about growing old and how that will be an aspect of the relationship. The short sonnet delves into the short 'affair' of the poet with his "dark lady", which reassures his 'validity' of being capable of love and to be loved in return.

A double entendre is when the poet uses words that have a double meaning. This is evident in the lines "O, love's best habit is in seeming trust / And age in love loves not to have years told." In these two lines, the poet describes how he thinks love is like a disguise to hide secrets, the pretense of truth. And older lovers, like himself, don't like it when their old age is pointed out.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

Read the passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.

Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia. Growing up, he was very much inspired by his older brother Matthew, who won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash at the 1936 Olympic Games, to pursue his talent and passion for athletics. He attended John Muir High School and then went on to Pasadena Community College, where he played football, basketball, track, and baseball. From there, Jackie went on to the University of California, Los Angeles, where his time was cut short due to financial hardship. After leaving the University of California, Jackie served in the United States Army. Fortunately, Jackie never saw combat; however, other circumstances ultimately led to Jackie’s honorable discharge from the military. It was shortly thereafter that Jackie began his career in Major League Baseball.

During this time, the leagues were still segregated. Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and integrate baseball. On April 15, 1947, Jackie became the first African-American athlete to play in the major leagues. Despite the ongoing racism that Jackie faced from some teammates, crowds, and players from other teams, he earned the National League’s Most Valuable Player award in 1949. In his decade-long career with the Dodgers, Jackie helped his team win the National League pennant several times. In 1955, he helped them achieve the greatest victory of all: the World Series.

Including which fact would best help nominate Jackie Robinson for the “Most Talented” category in a yearbook?

Jackie earned the National League’s Most Valuable Player award in 1949.

It is told using 'I' in the sentences, making it first person.

2. Third Person Objective

It is in third person, but it only tells the story without revealing any of the characters' thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc..

3. Third Person Limited

Also in third person, this time telling the thoughts and feelings and emotions of only one character.

4. Third Person Omniscient

Lastly, but not least, a third person point of view. It is omniscient since it tells the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of both characters and not just one, like in number three.

The dog understands mankind's place in the universe

Answers

Answer:

2. Humans are frail

3. The dog's instinct guides it, while the man's intellect fails him

Explanation:

When the passage mentions a reflection on the conjecture of immortality and man's place in the universe, it was a reference to the frailty of man who is here today and gone tomorrow. The writer was saying that the cold did not allow the man to think about the theory of immortality which could be true or false. Overall the reflection is about the frailty of man and his likelihood of overcoming it by becoming immortal.

The narrator was saying that although the dog knew nothing about temperature measurements, its instincts guided it properly to the conclusion there was something unusual about the cold, which the man's intellect did not tell him.

Answers

Hello. You did not say which article this question refers to, which makes it impossible for me to answer your question accurately.

However, to help you, I will show you how to recognize an implicit thesis and the supporting details for it. Hope this helps.

An implicit thesis is something that the author of the article presented in the text, although not directly. In other words, the author of the article does not directly address a point in the subject to which the article refers, but presents statements that make the reader understand this implied thesis. This information is supporting statements.

An example of this can be seen in the text below:

"In his musical compositions, Bridges presented social criticisms that were establishing themselves in his time, but that nobody really perceived them, but they are criticisms that would fit very well in the time in which we are currently living."

With this text, the author does not talk about how Bridges and his music were innovative and ahead of their time, however he presents information that reinforces this idea.
