Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”

A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.

A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.

SHE. What are you doing?

HE. (innocently) Writing.

SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?

HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

SHE. (continues to look inquiry).

HE. (finally) A letter. . . .

SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?

HE. (defiantly) To my wife!

SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.

HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –

SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.

HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!

SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?

HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.

Which excerpt uses direct characterization?

The young man looks up guiltily_.
HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

How do paragraphs 1-3 contribute to the text’s central ideas?

A
The first three paragraphs propose the central idea that the 1917 Bolshevik takeover was technically not a revolution.
B
The first three paragraphs lament the cost of the Russian Revolution and the negative change the country would experience under communist rule.
C
The  first paragraph defines “revolution” as a force of the people’s will to overthrow the government, as opposed to the incorrect use that describes a small party’s forceful coup; this introduces the central idea and question: was the Russian Revolution a true revolution?
D
The first three paragraphs introduce the idea that the Russian Revolution—rather than being a simple coup, in which sometimes the term “revolution” is incorrectly used—was a complex chain of events and causes.

Answers

Answer:

Its D

Explanation:

It cant be a because the first three paragraphs do not say that it wasn't a revolution, its says revolution is commonly misused.

it cant be b because that  content is not in the first three paragraphs

it is not c because that is not what the question is. The soul purpose of the text is not answer that question. It describes what the revolution consists of.

Explain in your own words what you think dopamine?

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

For me, "dopamine" is like a messenger of pleasure because it only sends messages to the body when it knows that happiness is on its way. It is being released when we can satisfy certain things we yearn in life, such as eating our favorite food or shopping for clothes (if you love shopping). This means that once it is released in the body, our mood improves thus it can somehow be addicting. For example, people tend to eat more chocolate cake in several servings because they know how pleasurable it is to eat it or people cannot control online shopping because it makes them truly happy.

Explanation:

The one of the four freedoms that Roosevelt identifies in his Four Freedoms speech is freedom of religion.

What are the characteristics of freedom of religion?

In a country with a state religion, freedom of religion is generally considered to mean that the government permits religious practices of other communities besides the state religion, and does not persecute believers in other faiths or those who have no faith.

Freedom of Religion or Belief ( FoRB ) is a human right which has been guaranteed under international law within the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) since 1966.

There may be instances where people's religious sentiments are hurt without any legal wrong. Therefore, giving freedom of religion not only becomes necessary for securing the religious rights of people.
