What do the underlined sentences in this expert from william dean howells editha reveal about the speaker

Answer:

a. She speaks without feeling.

Explanation:

William Dean Howell's short story "Editha" revolves around the character of Editha who forces her fiancé George Gearson, to volunteer in the army. This is her way of trying to make him, or any man, prove their loyalty and courage to get her hand in marriage.

George has no inclination to be a war soldier, but rather he had once wanted to be a minister. And with the news of the upcoming war, George and Editha's opinions of war differs, with Editha supporting it. And so, despite George's reservations about the war, Editha told him she's his, "for time and eternity". But with that being said, it was more like her want to satisfy her craving for a feminine response, with the narrator revealing "she liked the words; they satisfied her famine for phrases."

This shows Editha did not really speak after considering all possibilities. She was merely acting without any careful thought or feeling.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.

How many stanzas does this poem have?

It's quiet when I enter the forest,
Leaves crunching beneath my feet
Wind softly rustling the treetops,
Their limbs dancing silently
As the sun gently peeps through
To keep watch over me.

As I step farther into this world,
It comes alive with sound,
For they know I'm here;
The woodland dwellers—
Chirping, croaking, skittering, peeping
As the forest awakens.

What kind of text structure does Twain use in ""The Laborious Ant"" and how does this organizational pattern aid the message of the text?

Laws are, as we well know, a set of rules that enable us to live in society. In our house, these "laws" must also exist in order for a pet to function properly. If we want our dog to be inside the house, for instance, he must know how to behave, he must learn how to live in our family's society. He would receive punishment if the dog broke the couch or threw away the trash. Stay out, for instance. As owners, we must not abuse our power and be violent or give extreme punishment to the dog, because otherwise, the "law" would be missing. The same thing exists in society, so we have to realize that if we do anything, we will get a penalty, and in response, the courts, the police, etc., have to exercise their rightful authority. Healthy coexistence can only be done in this manner.
