Answer: A. by arguing that Alonso's daughter is too far from Naples to interfere.

Explanation:

Antonio and Sebastian are characters that appear in William Shakespeare's the Tempest.

In the story, Antonio is the brother of Prospero (a magician that has been forced to flee his dukedom). When Prospero was banished, Antonio took over the throne. Antonio, however, continues to plot against other characters: he persuades Sebastian to kill his brother, Alonso, so that Sebastian himself can become the King of Naples. He does so by eliminating all the arguments against this plan. Antonio ensures Sebastian that Ferdinand, Alonso's son, is dead. In addition, he says that Claribel, Alonso's daughter, is too far away to interfere:

"She that is Queen of Tunis; she that dwells

Ten leagues beyond man’s life; she that from Naples

Can have no note...." (Act II, Scene I)

According to Antonio, Claribel lives at the edge of the world, and there is no way for her to find out about this murder plot or take revenge on them.

What is the easiest way to take long, complicated notes?

Gala2k [10]

First jot down key points and then take the time to organize it later. The grammar and spelling doesn’t have to be perfect at first, you can always fix it when you organize it.
Separate everything into categories and do bullet points.

For example:
Topic...
1...
a...
b...
2...
a...

Topic 2...

I separate everything into sections. Sometimes color coding helps people understand it better, and it’s worth the extra effort.

I hope this helped :)

Personal challenges of Daedalus and icarus?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Daedalus' own hurdle was his lack of strength to handle his unexceptional expertise when it comes to architecture and executing things correctly. He endangered his and his son's life in courtesy of his invented wings made of twine, feathers, and wax. In contempt of having doubts before he started their course, he still valued his ego and excitement over their safety that led to Icarus' death.

On the other hand, Icarus' own tests were his unbridled sentiments that naturally come out because he is a young man. When they were up in the air and the people on the ground we're staring at them with surprise, he started to be too gratified, too eager and too naive. All of these drove him to his own death after defying his father's advice to him previously.

Which of the following phrases is NOT an absolute phrase?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct answer here is c) to the extreme. An absolute phrase is a phrase which includes a subject, and whereas the other possible answers all include subjects (eyes, hands, heart) the same cannot be said of 'to the extreme' which could be described more as a commonplace saying or cliche rather than an absolute phrase.

Which is the BEST definition of package as it is used in this sentence

Marina86 [1]

A) First Option

Reason: I did Process Of Elimination. The last definition talking about London, is not it, the one before the last one talks about a charge made for goods, which is also not it. Also, a bundle made for transportation, that's not money, that's like Carrots being sent to the store. So, to me, it has to be the first option.

"Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid" is an example of

dem82 [27]

"Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid" is an example of D. personification.

Personification is a literary device in which animals, objects or ideas are given human attributes. In this case, sorrow is given the ability to knock at someone's door, but as we know it is only a figure of speech because sorrow cannot knock at the door.
