One of the greatest architectural achievements of all time is the Burj Dubai, which is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
(UAE). Although the towering structure is still under construction, it has already past the height of the former tallest building
in the world. The Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan, held the title for about fours years before the Burj Dubai sprouted higher. Not
only is the Burj Dubai currently the world's tallest building, but also the world's tallest freestanding structure. The CN Tower
in Toronto, Canada, held that title until 2008, when the Burj Dubai eclipsed it. When finished, the Burj Dubai will stand over
160 stories high and will have taken over five years and tons of reinforced concrete, steel, and glass to complete. Upon
completion, the building will house both residential and commercial spaces including business suites, fitness facilities, hotels,
luxury pools and spas, and an observation platform. Because of its enormous size, the builders of Burj Dubai took care to
make it resistant to the effects of winds and earthquakes. The building has a special design that will help prevent a
catastrophe.

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.

The purpose of the oxymoron and paradox used in this excerpt is to

describe what it feels like to love.
emphasize a point about love.
provide the definition of love.
entertain using visions of love.

Answers

Answer:

Option B, emphasize a point about love

Explanation:

In the given lines the author is trying to warn Romeo that if the intensity of love between them is violent, then such violent drift also lead to violent ends.  Such extreme emotions about the kind of pleasure often end to disaster. The author further adds that even the taste of honey gets sickly even when it is sweet and hence it is essential for him to go right off it. Hence it is essential to love moderately

Hence, option B is correct

Panic disorder and agoraphobia are related to extreme anxiety.

The person also fears being at places where they do not feel safe or from where they may not escape easily. To be diagnosed as panic disorder and agoraphobia, the symptoms must last for at least a month.

I answer Claim: The hare that I expect to find in the first after the extended winter would be the brown hare.
Evidence: so we scientists know this because they are the same animal, but they both live in different climate if you want to see a brown hare you can see them in the spring and summertime, but if you want to see snow hare you’ll usually check in places that are cold.

Answers

Answer:

Claim: You would expect to find the white hare after the extended winter

Evidence: In the picture it shows the white hare covered in snow. The picture also has a key word at the bottom: "usually long" meaning, the winter must've lasted much longer than expected, resulting in the brown hair dying from the cold weather.

Reasoning: The white hare lives in the snow, meaning it has already adapted and is used to the cold weather. While the brown hare is used to a warm environment. Therefore, if the winter is extended the brown hare is most likely not to have a chance of surviving in the cold weather conditions.

Which aspect of Editha's character does the following excerpt from William Dean Howells's short story "Editha" reveal?

"That ignoble peace! It was no peace at all, with that crime and shame at our very gates." She was conscious of parroting the current phrases of the newspapers, but it was no time to pick and choose her words. She must sacrifice anything to the high ideal she had for him, and after a good deal of rapid argument she ended with the climax: "But now it doesn't matter about the how or why. Since the war has come, all that is gone. There are no two sides, anymore. There is nothing now but our country."

Answers

Answer:

A) Empty idealism .

Explanation:

William Dean Howell's short story "Editha," tells the story of the titled character and how her glorious perception of the war led her fiancé to join the war. And because of her romanticized perception of the war led to the death of the fiancé.

In the given passage from the story, the narrator reveals how Editha had changed from her "glorified" belief of the war. She had initially romanticized the war but after her fiancé had been killed, she now believes that the sacrifice was needed, "parroting the current phrases of the newspapers." Her opinions and beliefs change with the change in narration or reports of the media. This shows her empty idealistic beliefs in the war.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer:

A. empty idealism

write the summery of Antony and Cleopatra.​

Answers

Answer:

A summary of Shakespeare's Antony & Cleopatra - a tragedy of love and duty.  

Explanation:

Antony & Cleopatra written around 1606 is one of Shakespeare’s great historical love stories. Antony is captivated by Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Gossip and scandal leads to plots of murder and battles.

Mark Antony, Octavius Caesar and Lepidus, having defeated Julius Caesar's assassins at Philippi, now rule the Roman Empire as a triumvirate.

While in Alexandria however, the ageing Antony has become captivated by Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt (and mother to Julius Caesar's illegitimate son, Caesarion). The gossip and scandal this is creating both amongst Romans in Alexandria and at home in Rome gives rise to dissention between Octavius and Antony, whose behaviour is felt to be debauched and 'un-Roman'.

At the same time as the power of the triumvirate is being challenged by a dissatisfied senator, Pompey, Antony hears news from Rome that his wife, Fulvia, is dead. These two issues together force Antony to return to Rome and take up his responsibilities as a triumvir again.

Once back in Rome, Antony seems less controlled by his fascination for Cleopatra and, in an attempt to strengthen the triumvirate and cement his political alliance with Octavius following a quarrel, he agrees to marry Octavius's sister, Octavia. This news drives Cleopatra into a jealous rage.

Antony and Cleopatra takes place at a time of serious political turmoil and civil strife, with leaders rising and falling, as Fulvia, Pompey, Lepidus, Octavius, Antony, and Cleopatra all jostle for political power. Thus, ordinary people, advisors, soldiers, and attendants are forced to decide who to follow and be loyal to. The leaders, meanwhile, must rely on the loyalty of their followers. It is when Antony's soldiers effectively desert that… read analysis of Honor, Loyalty, and Betrayal

C. Opinions usually are not convincing without reasons or evidence.

Explanation:

I don't really know the context to this question but I would assume the answer is C because research reports are very heavily focused on exactly what it's called; research. A research report is usually answering a question or proving your point to an argument so your opinion would be on which side you would be taking for example here is a research question: should schools allow phone usage in school?

Your opinion would be either yes or no but what makes it a research report is the amount of evidence you will use in your body paragraphs to support the side you are opinionated towards.
