Answer:
The correct answer is "My country's image never was forgot"
Explanation:
Ulysses, also known as Odysseus, is the main character in the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. After fighting against the Trojans, Ulysses is trying to get back home, to the island of Ithaca. However, since he previously defied the gods, they are making it harder for him to get there. Ulysses is constantly delayed, and suffers terrible setbacks such as losing his ship and his men to a storm. In the excerpt we are studying here, he is held back by the nymph Calypso in her island for seven years. Even though Calypso uses all her power to seduce him and keep him entertained - "In pomps or joys, the palace or the grot" -, Ulysses wishes to return home - ""My country's image was never forgot." She tried to enchant him, but it was impossible for him to forget his old life and his responsibilities.
B. after name and us
C. after as
D. after three
The appropriate locations for commas in the sentence are after 'name' and 'us', making option B the correct choice. This follows the English grammar rule of using commas to set off additional details in a sentence.
This question pertains to identifying where to insert commas in the given sentence. According to basic English grammar rules, we insert commas to set off clauses, phrases, or words that are not essential to the main clause. Here, the best option would be B. after name and us. The sentence should be: '“Three Skeleton Key,” got its name, as the narrator tells us, from three escaped convicts.' This way, the sentence clearly relays that the information presented is additional detail provided by the narrator about 'Three Skeleton Key.'

Answer:
Rose bush at the entrance door of the prison symbolizes nature with its many characteristics i.e. hope, love, strength, solace, friendship.
Explanation:
"The Scarlet Letter" (1850) is Nathaniel Hawthorne's tragedy novel. It tells the story (from 1642-49) of woman named Hester Prynne who conceives a daughter through an illegal affair and is then imprisoned and outcast from the town.
There is a rose bush at the entrance of her prison. It symbolizes nature which adopts and survives in the worst of the situations and stills produces beautiful things (rose from rose bush and Pearl- her daughter from herself). As Pearl (her daughter is her only source of comfort, strength and solace in a cruel world, so is the rose bush (symbolizing nature) a symbol of strength, hope and solace, she (Hester) derives from her connection with nature. It will be rose bush (as nature) which will take care of Hester Prynne, and in turn she will take care of her own rose.
It also symbolizes Hester Prynne herself, because as rose bush gives birth to roses, she gives birth and nourishes her own rose (Pearl).
It is important to note that Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American Romantic write, and nature plays an important role in works of Romantic writer.
In The Scarlet Letter, the rose bush symbolizes grace, beauty, and resilience in harsh conditions, mirroring Hester Prynne's character. However, the thorns on the bush serve as a reminder of the suffering and danger which accompanies these virtues in a judgemental society.
In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the rose bush outside the prison is a strong symbol. Emphasizing both its beauty and its thorns, the rose bush reflects the dual nature of symbols, embodying both positive and negative qualities at once. In the context of the novel, it symbolizes the idea of grace, beauty, and resilience amidst the harshness and cruelty of the Puritan society.
The blossom of the rose bush in such a grim environment can also be viewed as a symbol of Hester Prynne's character. Like the bush, she shows resilience, beauty and grace under the harsh conditions of her punishment. Furthermore, the bush’s production of beautiful blooms despite its thory exterior symbolizes the ability to endure and even thrive under difficult circumstances, similar to Hester.
