Fog
Life
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
Life is but a toy that swings on a bright gold chain
Ticking for a little while
To amuse a fascinated infant,
Until the keeper, a very old man,
Becomes tired of the game
And lets the watch run down.
by Carl Sandburg
by Naomi Long Madgett

Answers

Answer: He was going to buy three things: chairs, tables, and utensils.

Explanation:

The most basic rule for using commas is that they are used to separate independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet).

However, it might be difficult to remember that this rule still applies when we want to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses written in a series. We must not forget to place a comma before "and".



What do we, as readers, ultimately think the narrator wants from her

husband?

A. Freedom and power

O B. Comfort and relief

C. Joy and happiness

D. Revenge and satisfaction

SUBMIT

Answers

Answer:

A. Freedom and power.

Explanation:

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" revolves around the narrator and her "illness" that is post-partum depression. The story delves into what society expects or how society treats women and how that is at times the only problem that women ever want to be free of.

Since the unnamed narrator is suffering from a mental illness, her physician husband took her to an old mansion so that she can relax and heal quickly. But confined in a room and not allowed to work, the woman only began imagining all sorts of things, even believing the yellow wallpaper was coming to life. All she ever wanted was to have her freedom and power to do what she wants. But as society dictates, she is a woman and is not capable of doing things on her own.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
