Answer 1
Answer:

In this famous poem, titled "The Second Coming", Yeats criticizes religious passion, in the last verse he declares to now know "That twenty centuries of stony sleep/Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle", in this passage he makes the same argument as in the question's passage, he criticizes the sleep of ignorance and how it became a nightmare due to passion. Therefore the first option is the right one.

Yeats classifies “passionate intensity” as worse than a “lack of conviction” because A “passionate intensity” for certain ideals can be destructive.

Yeats refers in this poem ,"The Second Coming" , to the consequences of WWI. Therefore, the ideals leading the war are destructive and do a lot of harm with passion. He  says that good people - The best - are the ones who do not have any conviction. They are at a loss. They suffer the consequences of the " passionate" war ideals.

Mental or physical disabilities

As for agurments I'm not sure, but I gave some reasons you could use if you want.

Answer:

I dont think that because a baby might have disabilities gives us the right to kill them. People with disabilities have been the some of the most happy people i have ever met. They don't let their disabilities get the best of them and so they just live and enjoy their lives. Its not fair to us to make a decision so permanent. Babies never chose to be conciceved, it is our own fault. If you are going to have an abortion anyways then don't get pregnant in the first place. Use birth control and things like that, don't end an innocent life because of your decicions.

When _______ leaves for work in the morning, he makes sure to pack his thermos. What noun or pronoun should be placed in the blank? students Frank they I

Answers

Frank is the answer because pronouns and nouns have a singular subject so it'll be a person and a person is Frank
Let's see... This is third person, right? So that eliminates I. This relates to only one person, leaving Frank as the answer because Frank is a singular third-person pronoun.

"When Frank leaves for work in the morning, he makes sure to pack his thermos."

Explanation:

Directions Robert's teacher has asked the class to write an essay supporting an interpretation of a literary work. Robert wantsto write about a poem by Paula Gunn Allen
Before writing his essay, Robert needs to make sure that he has evidence
a that will fill two or three pages
b. of several different kinds
c. to support his thesis
d that will leave readers with something to consider
Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answers

Answer:

c. to support his thesis.

Explanation:

When we write an essay, one of the most important elements that we have to consider is that of establishing a thesis. The thesis is the main idea of a text. It is also the main claim that the author wants to defend in his work. Once we have established a thesis, the author needs to make sure that the evidence he provides supports this thesis. Otherwise, he has no way of demonstrating that his claim is worthy of consideration.

Answer:

D) that will leave readers with something to consider.

Explanation:

Every reader of literature already knows that an interpretation of piece of literature (especially a poem) is just one of many other possible interpretations. When we support one interpretation, our purpose is not eliminate alternative interpretations. We just want the reader to consider our interpretation as well. Hence, we need an evidence to convince the readers that they should consider that particular interpretation as well.

Option A is incorrect, because Robert's main purpose is not to fill two or three pages, but to convince reader of that interpretation.

Option B is incorrect because it is very absurd.

Option C is also incorrect, because Robert's purpose is not to prove that ONLY his interpretation is correct. His purpose is to add one more interpretation to some already existing interpretations.
