Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question.For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. Based on the context clues, the underlined word, ardent, most likely means?-calm-innocent-gloomy-passionate

PLEASE HELP! In this excerpt from Hard Times by Charles Dickens, which lines include images of the horrors of industrialization? It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it; but as matters stood it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness. … You saw nothing in Coketown but what was severely workful. If the members of a religious persuasion built a chapel there - as the members of eighteen religious persuasions had done - they made it a pious warehouse of red brick, with sometimes (but this is only in highly ornamental examples) a bell in a birdcage on the top of it. The solitary exception was the New Church; a stuccoed edifice with a square steeple over the door, terminating in four short pinnacles like florid wooden legs.

According to this article, study participants expected to feel guilt after cheating but instead felt positive emotions. In your opinion, what does this say about most people's morality?

Answers

Answer:

Nothing. It says literally nothing. It's not so much about the morality of the participants but the situation in which they were placed.

Explanation:

Whilst one might look at this question and come to the immediate conclusion that the participant's guilt of cheating is immoral. First, we must define what immorality is. Immorality is "the state or quality of being immoral; wickedness", Immoral is "not conforming to accepted standards of morality", Morality is "principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior". When we think of being moral, we think of people doing genuinely good things out of the purity of their hearts; however, let's say that a single mother who works two part-time jobs for her toddler also attends a local college to be able to get better job opportunities and whilst her professor has acknowledged they understand her situation, they have no sympathy and continuously make life hard for the woman. The woman has nearly no choice but to cheat on her next exam; however, not because she has malicious intent or because she wants a better grade. She cheats because it's a necessity if she wants to be able to provide a roof, water, food, and comfort to her child and get a job to support them better. This does not come from a place of malice, it comes from a place of desperation that she was driven into by an ignorant professor. Her morals were in the right place but due to the unfortunate circumstance she was in, she felt forced into the bad decision. That being said, one bad decision does not mean immorality.

Consider the poems."She Walks in Beauty"
by George Gordon Byron An excerpt from "To Helen"
by Edgar Allan Poe
She walks in Beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet
express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, wayworn wanderer bore To his own native shore.

On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome.

Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand! Ah, Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land!

How is Poe’s word choice different than Byron’s?

A. Poe’s description is more grand and worldly than Byron’s.
B. Poe’s description is more calm and soothing than Byron’s.
C. Poe includes more physical description than Byron.
D. Poe confesses more about shortcomings than Byron.

Answers

Answer:

The answer to the question is:

A. Poe’s description is more grand and worldly than Byron’s.

This is because Poe uses words and phrases that evoke a sense of grandeur and worldliness, such as “Nicean barks of yore”, “the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome”, and “Psyche, from the regions which are Holy Land”. These references suggest that Poe’s speaker admires Helen’s beauty as something that transcends time and space, and connects him to the ancient civilizations and myths.

By contrast, Byron uses words and phrases that evoke a sense of calmness and simplicity, such as “cloudless climes and starry skies”, “mellowed to that tender light”, and “a mind at peace with all below”. These references suggest that Byron’s speaker appreciates the woman’s beauty as something that harmonizes with nature and reflects her inner goodness.
