While aphorisms and epigrams both express a truth about life, an epigram is usually:
a. critical
b. figurative
c. paradoxical

(It's either A or C, please help)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. paradoxical

Explanation:

a. is not the right answer. Epigrams are often witty, but they don’t have to be critical.

b. is not the right answer. Epigrams don’t put insights into the figurative forms.

c. is the correct answer. Epigrams are tools, presented as statements and short insights in the text. These passages are usually funny, satirical, and paradoxical, and usually inserted in the poems in verse.

"A Valentine"

For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes,
Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
Search narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure
Divine—a talisman—an amulet
That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure—
The words—the syllables! Do not forget
The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor
And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
Which one might not undo without a sabre,
If one could merely comprehend the plot.
Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
Of poets, by poets—as the name is a poet's, too,
Its letters, although naturally lying
Like the knight Pinto—Mendez Ferdinando—
Still form a synonym for Truth—Cease trying!

Who is Claus of Innsbruck in my last duchess​

Answers

Answer:

In "My Last Duchess," Claus of Innsbruck is a sculptor the duke references as he shows off yet another piece of art.

Explanation:

Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin. Between the time Champollion's books appeared and the end of the nineteenth century, thousands of rolls of papyrus and copies of temple and tomb inscriptions were brought to Europe and America. There scholars, using the deciphering methods Champollion had pioneered, traced the entire history of writing in Egypt. They discovered it had begun about 3100 B.C. when images of important people were first accompanied by hieroglyphs of their names or titles. By 2500 B.C. complete sentences began to appear on tomb inscriptions, along with lists of offerings to the Egyptian gods. Which statement best expresses an inference that can be supported by information in the excerpt?
A. Ancient Egyptian writing became more complex over time.
B. The only writing discovered from ancient Egypt was written on tombs.
C. Only wealthy people had tomb inscriptions in ancient Egypt.
D. Most of the Egyptian writing that scholars translated was about Egyptian gods.

do you think most people choose the option of suffering? why or why not?

Answers

Explanation:

Suffering is a choice that we are unaware of having made. We can choose not to suffer only if we can become aware that we are choosing to suffer, and when we are capable of choosing not to. For most people choosing not to suffer is not an option.

Consider the suffering caused by the loss of a loved one. There is pain when you suddenly lose someone important to you. This pain, just like any other pain, will overwhelm and dominate one’s experience, and will dull one’s awareness significantly. It’s hard to think clearly, or at all, when one is in pain, let alone be deeply aware of oneself.

Even if you’d want to try to be aware of yourself when you are in pain and see if maybe you keep the pain going where you really don't need to, there is a slew of cultural norms and beliefs that require you to suffer when you lose your loved one. If you don't suffer it means you are heartless, emotionless sociopath who is incapable of love. You are going to be judged very harshly, by yourself and others, if you are not in deep enough pain.

It would require a considerable presence, strength of commitment, drive and motivation to dig your way out from under the pain you are feeling, the scrambling effect this pain has on your mental faculties, the social pressure that demands that you suffer and your own beliefs about how you should behave in certain situations that require you to suffer. Most people don't have that level of presence, strength, commitment and drive so, even though technically they have a choice, they are not capable of choosing.
