There is nothing more disenchanting to man than to be shown the springs and mechanism of any art. ALL OUR ARTS AND OCCUPATIONS LIE WHOLLY ON THE SURFACE; IT IS ON THE SURFACE THAT WE PERCEIVE THEIR BEAUTY, FITNESS, AND SIGNIFICANCE; AND TO PRY BELOW IS TO BE APPALLED BY THEIR EMPTINESS AND SHOCKED BY THE COARSENESS OF THE STRING AND PULLEYS. In a similar way, psychology itself, when pushed to any nicety, discovers an abhorrent baldness, but rather from the fault of our analysis than from any poverty native to the mind. And perhaps in aesthetics the reason is the same: those disclosures which seem fatal to the dignity of art seem so perhaps only in the proportion of our ignorance; and those conscious and unconscious artifices which it seems unworthy of the serious artist to employ were yet, if we had the power to trace them to their springs, indications of a delicacy of the sense finer than we conceive, and hints of ancient harmonies in nature. […] I must therefore warn that well-known character, the general reader, that I am here embarked upon a most distasteful business: taking down the picture from the wall and looking on the back; and, like the inquiring child, pulling the musical cart to pieces.

Re-read the line in bold.

B. The author thinks machines are more meaningful and complex than literature.
C. The author thinks literature is more meaningful and complex than machines.

Metaphor

Answer:

C) He is going to walk her at seven o'clock.

Explanation:

The pronoun 'he' agrees with Darius, singular masculine, and 'her' agrees with his dog Jessie, which is singular and feminine.

Ponyboy is different from his friends. There is a gang culture in his town and rivalry between the Socs who "jump Greasers and wreck houses" and the Greasers who "hold up gas stations and have a fight once in a while" (ch 1). He is a Greaser and tries to stay out of trouble so that he can stay with his brothers and not be taken into care because both their parents died in a car accident. Ponyboy knows he is "smart... with a high IQ" but admits that "I don't use my head." Johnny Cade who "has it awful rough at home" is his best friend and Ponyboy talks about how any other person may have become "rebellious and bitter" but not Johnny, although his family situation is "killing him" (ch 2). Ponyboy and Johnny "understood each other without saying anything" (ch 3).

After a fight with the Socs, Johnny and Ponyboy have to get away because Johnny has murdered a Soc who was trying to drown Ponyboy. The boys catch a train on Dally's instructions so that they can hide out and again Ponyboy dreams of his ideal place again and is poetic in his descriptions of the dawn. He keeps hoping that his reality is a dream and that he will wake up at home because reality is too harsh but Ponyboy knows he has to "quit pretending" (ch 5) and calm his "over-active imagination."

Answer:

I think it's fearfulness

Fearfulness is the example of dark emotions introduced in Act I. He forgives Antonio but needs that Antonio returns his dukedom.

Prospero guarantees to supply freedom to his dependable helper spirit and sends him to fetch the Boatswain and mariners from the wrecked ship. Ariel goes to Prospero releases Alonso and his partners from their spell and speaks with them. He forgives Antonio but needs that Antonio returns his dukedom.

Antonio felt betrayed for he had saved Sebastian from the shipwreck, and had even lent him his wallet in case Sebastian needed some cash. but when he saves Cesario (Viola) in the battle with Sir Andrew Aguecheek, he mistakes Cesario for Sebastian.

Antonio is Prospero's brother. He usurped the throne of Milan from his brother with Alonso's assistance, willingly abandoning the sovereignty of the Dukedom to Naples. He indicates no appreciation for the island and reveals Gonzalo as overly talkative and silly.

Therefore, Fearfulness is the example of dark emotions introduced in Act I. He forgives Antonio but needs that Antonio returns his dukedom.
