Answer 1
Answer:

The question is incomplete. Its full version is:

What is an important context clue in determining an appropriate definition for a particular word?

A. the part of speech

B. the writer's use of figurative language

C. the word's antonyms

D. the etymology

The answer is A (the part of speech).

The part of speech in which the word appears is what gives us the clue for determining the most accurate definition of a particular word.

Instead, figurative language has implicit meaning, antonyms give the opposite meaning (but the meaning may change according to the context), and etymology studies the origins of words, hence, these options are not accurate.

The answer is the stanza below

The feather'd arrow through the destined ring.

Heir of my father's strength, as well as throne."

How would you relate the left handed and right handed twins to your own concept of good and evil

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

I will assume that this question is from the myth, "The World on Turtles back". If it is not I apologize. But if it is, the left and right twins are the exact example of ying and yang, good and bad. The left-handed twin represents evil, war, and the 'bad' aspect of human nature. The right-handed twin represents being responsible, correct, and what we would consider the 'good' aspect of human nature today. Relating it to myself, I would see the right-handed twin as who I would always try to be, and see the left-handed twin as completely evil and who I would try to avoid being like that twin any way I could. But it really depends on what your own perspective of human nature is, because really anyone is possible of being good or bad.

Final answer:

Good and evil, much like the concept of left-handed and right-handed twins, can be understood through the necessity of contrast. This perspective is supported by Yoruban's metaphysics, which emphasizes the need for evil to understand good.

Explanation:

Concepts of good and evil are often tied in our understanding to associations like right and left, light and darkness, where one represents the positive and the other negative. Relating this to left-handed and right-handed twins could be seen as a metaphoric representation. As per the Yoruban metaphysics, the contrast between good and evil (represented metaphorically by the left-handed and right-handed twins) helps us logically comprehend both concepts, asserting the necessity of evil to understand good. Just as having a left-handed twin and a right-handed twin helps us understand the concept of 'handedness', the existence of good and evil aids in comprehending moral values.
