Read the excerpt from Act II, scene vi of Romeo and Juliet.

Friar Laurence: These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Which pair of words from the excerpt is an oxymoron?

violent delights
violent ends
sweetest honey
too swift

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Got it right on edge 2021

Answer 2

"Violent delights" is the pair of words that can be considered an oxymoron in the excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet."

What is an oxymoron?

Oxymorons make use of two seemingly contrasting words to express something in a more emphatic manner. That is why the pair "violent delights" can be considered an oxymoron. We assume that something that is violent cannot be good or delightful. We also assume that something delightful is far from being violent.

However, oxymorons make sense when the context is taken into consideration. The phrase "violent delights" is used here to describe that extreme form of passion some people think is love.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.

Explanation:

now
The
road

government to planning
my
house.change into passive voice ​

Answers

Answer:

A new road is being planned near my house by the government.

Explanation:

An active voice is when the subject acts upon the verb while in a passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. Moreover, the verbs in the active and passive voices will change according to the form of the sentence.

The subject will be placed at the end of the sentence while the object will come in the place of the object (i.e. exchange of position/location). Also, the subject will be introduced by the word "by" in the passive voice.

The given sentence "the government is planning a new road near my house" can be 'dissected' as below-

the government= the subject

is planning= present continuous

a new road= object

Thus, the new sentence in the passive voice becomes-

A new road is being planned near my house by the government.

Answers

The correct answer is D. He uses pathos to appeal to the listeners' suspicion and fear of Germany.

Explanation

When a speaker uses Pathos in a speech he makes use of the emotions and empathy that causes his speech and charisma in the audience. Usually, these speeches are used by politicians or candidates to move large groups of people. In the fragment of the speech, Churchill refers to the characteristics of his enemy (German) as "there is no dirty trick he will not do" to arouse fear in the audience. Therefore, the correct answer is D. He uses pathos to appeal to the listeners' suspicion and fear of Germany.

Explanation:

The hobbit.

Chapter 1 opens as the wizard Gandalf visits the hobbit Bilbo Baggins and invites him to join in an adventure. Bilbo declines, reluctant to leave the safety and comfort of his hobbit-hole. The next day, he is visited by dwarves who believe Bilbo can be of use to them in their journey to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim their ancestral treasure, now in the possession of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo realizes that Gandalf had represented him to the dwarves as a burglar. He reluctantly agrees to go, but he changes his mind the next morning. Gandalf urges him to join them, however, and they depart — a band of fourteen.

Chapters 2 through 10 depict Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves traveling out of the hobbit-lands toward the Lonely Mountain far to the east. As the landscape becomes less hospitable and the group faces hunger, bad weather, and attacks from hostile creatures, Bilbo often thinks fondly of home and questions his decision to come on this journey. In the Lone-lands, the travelers encounter trolls who capture the dwarves and tie them up in sacks, planning to roast and eat them later. They are rescued by Gandalf and Bilbo, who produces a key he found nearby. The key unlocks the trolls' secret cave, where the travelers find gold and weapons, to which they help themselves. They travel on to the valley of Rivendell at the edge of the Wild, and stay at the home of Elrond, a hospitable elf leader. Elrond translates the runes on the swords that Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield, king of the dwarves, took from the trolls' cave; they are ancient swords called Orcrist and Glamdring that come from dragon plunder or the Goblin-wars. Elrond also translates Thorin's map, which clarifies the importance of Durin's Day, the first day of the dwarves' New Year.. After two weeks, Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves resume their journey. Approaching the Misty Mountains, they take shelter from a storm in a cave that turns out to be the Great Goblin's cavern. The Goblins capture Bilbo and his companions and take their ponies. Using Glamdring, Gandalf kills the Great Goblin and frees Bilbo and the dwarves. The travelers try to find their way out of the cave as the Goblins retreat, but Bilbo falls on his way out and loses consciousness.
