Answer 1
Answer: Refineries are places where a substance is refined. It could be any substance, really. But, taking into consideration the options we have available, we could conclude that the specific refinery being referenced here is natural gas. This is a common material in plastic, DVDs and crayons, while bauxite, petroleum, and iron are never used in the manufacturing process of these everyday items.

Next, write the heading "COMPOUND" and then cut and paste two compound sentences from the article under this heading. Lastly, write the heading "COMPLEX" and then cut and paste two complex sentences from the article under this heading. HERE'S THE ARTICLE TO USE FOR THIS ACTIVITY: The story "About Sea Turtles" that we read in class contains interesting information about sea turtles. They are mysterious animals. They spend most of their lives at sea, but they do come to shore for one purpose - to lay eggs. A mother sea turtle's hind flippers are like a steam shovel, digging through layers and layers of sand. She digs a nest and lays hundreds of eggs. Why lay so many eggs? Baby sea turtle eggs, once they are buried, are on their own. When the time is right, on a moonlit night, the baby turtles dig their way out of the nest and scurry to the sea to begin life in the ocean. But they have to beware! Many other animals are predators of baby sea turtles. Little is known about the life of these fascinating animals once they reach the sea, but scientists are getting more information every day!

Why does Alexander Pope use the style and narrative form of epics to describe a relatively insignificant incident in “The Rape of the Lock”?

to mock the epic form, which was popular among the upper class

to mock society for attaching too much importance to trivial things
to mock the foolish acts committed by young gentlemen in love
to mock the vanity and pride of upper-class young women like Belinda

Answers

The correct answer is - to mock society for attaching too much importance to trivial things.


Alexander Pope wanted to show that the society during the era of Classicism (when he lived and wrote) gave too much importance to irrelevant things when they could have been focusing on more pressing issues. This is why he wrote his poem using the heroic epic form, which was used to talk about heroes and their great deeds, to write about a simple event as someone stealing a lock of woman's hair and causing chaos as a result.


Alexander Pope used the style and narrative form of epics in The Rape of the Lock to mock society for attaching too much importance to trivial things.

He wanted to make light of the matter and cool hot tempers based on a real life incident that happened amongst his acquaintances.
