One of the themes of “On Another’s Sorrow” is that people are compassionate when they see others who are sorrowful.
Which pair of lines best supports this theme?
"And not sit beside the nest / Pouring pity in their breast;"
"He becomes a man of woe; / He doth feel the sorrow too."
"Think not, thou canst weep a tear / And thy maker is not near."
"Can I see a falling tear, / And not feel my sorrows share?" please hurry i need this correct and in like 3 minutes
Answer:
D. Can I see a falling tear, / And not feel my sorrows share?"
Explanation:
"On Another's Sorrow" is a poem by William Blake.
First three stanzas are composed of set of questions dealing with compassion and ability to empathize with others. Questions can be summed up to one: "How can one not share another's sadness and sorrow?".
So, when the author says "falling tear" he obviously refers to someone crying and expresses the human need to comfort that person, share the sorrow with him, make him feel better.

Passage
Liana and Coen walked barefoot through the grass to the old oak tree on the edge of the property. They'd been looking forward to this all day. Liana spread a blanket at the foot of the tree and sat down, closing her eyes as she leaned against the tree's trunk. She couldn't remember a time that she had been this exhausted.
Coen watched his sister, choosing to stretch out on the ground. He thought about the long day they'd had, taking care of their mom, but they were glad for the chance to relax and have a little time to themselves. With any luck, they wouldn't be needed for another hour or so and could spend the time chatting and watching the sun set behind the mountain.
As they talked about nothing in particular, neither sibling noticed the umbrella-like hive hanging 15 feet above their heads, nor did the siblings hear the buzzing emerging from its depths. The wasps' nest began to vibrate as Coen turned up the volume on his portable radio.

What are some similarities and differences between "Stray" by Cynthia Rylant and "Lone Dog" by Irene Rutherford McLeod?
Answer:
essentially talks about a dog.
calm and quite while the other is carefree and wild.
Explanation:
The story "Stray" by Cynthia Rylant and the poem "Lone Dog" by Irene Rutherford McLeod both essentially talks about a dog. These two dogs in the story and the poem goes through similar hardships like homelessness and hunger.
However, the difference between these two dogs is that the dog in the story "Stray" is calm and quite. She does not play or follow anyone unless invited or cheered on. On the other hand, the dog in the poem "Lone Dog" is carefree and wild. It does not look for love and compassion but rather lives and eats whatever it can hunt in the wild.
Both texts have a dog as their main element, however, the way this dog behaves is what is different in each text.
We can arrive at this answer because:
"Stray" by Cynthia Rylant tells the story of a dog that doesn't have a home and goes through many difficulties.
However, this dog is friendly and docile, being a very kind animal and that was a shock to the reader.
"Lone Dog" by Irene Rutherford McLeod also features a homeless dog who is struggling.
But this dog handles it very wildly, accepting all its instincts.
This causes the dog in the first text to be seen as docile, while the dog in the next text is seen as violent and skittish.

Two neighbors in an apartment building have a shared balcony neighbor wants to use the space to barbecue and the other wants to utilize it to grow plants which component of conflict is most present in the situation
Answer:
The component of conflict that is most present in this situation is:
conflict of values.
Explanation:
It is the conflict that arises where a shared resource can only be used for a purpose at any given time. The conflict arises where there are two opposing uses for the shared resource. It becomes difficult to share the particular resource. A good example is this shared balcony between the two neighbors. If one neighbor utilizes the space to barbecue, it will certainly not be possible for the other neighbor to use the same balcony to grow plants. The balcony cannot serve these two opposing uses at the same time.
