embarrassed
Explanation:

The correct answer is A. to enhance the setting.
Charles Dickens's novel Hard Times is a satirical book aimed at criticizing the English society of the time (19th century Victorian England). With that in mind, Dickens came up with some rather creative names for his characters in order to portray everything wrong with the society he was surrounded with.
For example, Mr. Gradgrind (a play on the word grind) is a cold man who doesn't care much about anything else other than actual facts; Mrs. Sparsit (a play on the word sparse) is a poor widow; Mr. Sleary (a play on the word slur) is a man who speaks with a lisp.
As you can see, the names of these characters are used to reveal what they are like, to criticize the society they are in, but also to make fun of them; what they are NOT used for is enhancing the setting.
In Hard Times, Charles Dickens uses names for all of the following reasons except to enhance the setting. Option A is correct.
Hard Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens.this story is Dickens' only novel which lack scenes set in London. Instead the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town, in some ways similar to Manchester, though smaller.

Satire makes something, or someone appear silly to humiliate, denigrate, or ridicule its targets.
Satire uses exaggeration, irony, humor, or ridicule to highlight the flaws in human nature and behavior. It has its own genre and is a literary device frequently used to comment on current affairs and politics.
Satire is a genre of writing that exposes the shortcomings, silliness, and vices of a subject or another work. Political, moral, or social commentary is how it is most frequently employed.
A hilarious folly, a lack of good sense or judgment, or the state of being frivolous, trivial, or superficial are all examples of being silly.
Being foolish has another significant advantage besides increasing the enjoyment and humor of events. You become more at ease with who you are as a result. It can be stressful when youngsters see things as serious, official, or measured. Silliness helps alleviate this pressure.

length of lines
rhyme scheme
imagery
Answer: The right answers are number of stanzas, length of lines and rhyme scheme.
Explanation: Since the question is specifically asking for aspects of the poetic form, imagery should be excluded, since, unlike the number of stanzas, rhyme scheme and length of lines (or poetic meter), it does not refer to the physical structural elements of the poem. Those features shape the poem in a particular way, and that is why we refer to sonnets, odes, elegies, ballads, and so on. Imagery consists in using figurative language to make the text more persuasive and engaging (by going beyond the literal meaning of the words or describing a setting in a very visual way).
A)for
B)arise
C)ahead
D)never
Answer:
The word that is a coordinating conjunction is "for".
Explanation:
A coordinating conjunction is a word that connects other words, clauses, or sentences that have the same syntactic importance. The conjunctions are: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.
In "Plan ahead, for you never know what problems will arise", we have two independent clauses. Independent clauses are capable of expressing full ideas without the help of other clauses. In this case, they were connected by the coordinating conjunction "for" so that the second clause expresses the reason for the first one. The reason why you should plan ahead is that fact that you never know what problems will arise.
