D. a vicious hatred for the enemy .

Answers

I choose letter C. old-fashioned or traditional ideas about duty and sacrifice. Yeat’s believes that this impulse that that leads people to sign and serve when war is upon them.  This takes on a deeper meaning when one is now sent to the front lines.  That’s sense of honor and sacrifice that one makes even if he knows that he puts his life at risks by doing so.

a personal desire for adventure, i just took this.

Most of Daniel Defoe's novels include major characters who do not belong to the upper class and suffer a life of hardship. What may have helped the writer to realistically portray such settings for his novel?

Answers

It is quite possible that Daniel Defoe's own childhood in relative poverty and hardship played a major role in his ability to portray this kind of lifestyle so accurately.

This is because he himself came from a middle upper class family and he had many acquaintances from the lower classes.

Defoe himself didn't come from a poor family - I wouldn't say they were rich, but they didn't have many hardships in life, at least not financially. Even when he grew up, he became a merchant so he had some money of his own. However, in order to write stories about such characters, Defoe had to spend time with them, with the lowest classes and get acquainted with their way of living.

The Johnstone family of Cheyenne, Wyoming has created a "family economy” in which members barter their services and homemade goods. The teenager’s babysitting services are as valuable as dad’s breakfast crepes. Even the youngest member has found ways to contribute by bathing the dog and tidying rooms (Ramirez 109).

When you and your friends hear this recording, it will be exciting.

Answers

D.  When you and your friends hear this recording, it will be exciting.


An antecedent, by definition, is a word or a phrase that is referred to by an element that follows it in the same sentence or paragraph, typically.  When we look at item “D,” we are left with the question: “What will be exciting?”  Because “it” could be anything, it is safe to say that the antecedent is missing.
