What category does the following comment fit best in? "The problem with the film is that it is difficult to get past the sloppy editing and amateurish cinematography." authenticity universality subject matter aesthetics

Answers

Answer:

aesthetics

Explanation:

Aesthetics are all about how something looks. So, "sloppy editing and amateurish cinematography" in a movie is exactly what aesthetics are. The aesthetics for the movie look bad.

Authenticity is being real and original. It is being your true self. I don't think the comment is talking about themself, the writer, but more about the movie.

Universality is being true in all forms. The comment for the movie doesn't work the same for other things, such as school or sports. It isn't universal.

Subject matter is about the topic. It is the main idea of the thing being discussed. The comment doesn't focus on the main idea of the movie, bad rather its looks: the editing and cinematography. It doesn't talk about the theme of the movie, the message, the actors, the characters, or the characterization.

Aesthetics are what this comment is about. It's about how the movie looks like.

Listening is receiving language through the ears. Listening involves identifying the sounds of speech and processing them into words and sentences.

Read the following sentence.
“The agents typically pore over the details of a contract in order to get the best deal for their client.”
Which word has a similar connotation to the phrase "pore over" as it is used in the sentence?

A. summarize
B. proofread
C. annotate
D. scrutinize

Answers

Answer:
D. scrutinize

Explanation:

in this case, "pore over" means that the agents are trying to make sure that they're reading the contact carefully for their client. contracts often use a lot of formal language and are long enough that it's always smart to get a professional to help you when you have a contract. so the best choice here js "scrutinize" because the agents are looking for anything that might make them advise their client NOT to sign the contract. if all looks good however they might advise them to sign/agree to the contact instead.

Explanation:

Upon returning to Athens after defeating the Minotaur in Crete, Theseus replaced King Aegeus, leading Athens into a new era of success. Which part of Theseus does the sentence best summarize?

Answers

Well, as we know, after the battle between Theseus and the Minotaur, King Aegeus told Theseus to come back on the ship with the red sail to indicate that he was alive. Instead, Theseus's ship came back with a black sail. The black sail made King Aegeus that Theseus was dead. Theseus sailed away with a beautiful maiden girl, and sailed to rule a new land far away. Theseus created a more civilized kingdom which was less brutal then.

Following the battle between Theseus and the Minotaur, King Aegeus instructed Theseus to return to the ship with the red sail to show that he was still alive.

Why did Theseus get killed?

Theseus had the misfortune of being identified by the wrong person when he arrived at Athens: not by his father Aegeus, but by his then-wife, the witch Medea. Medea clearly did not want Aegeus' crown to be taken by a son from a prior marriage, so she plotted to assassinate Theseus.

Thus, in the battle King Aegeus instructed Theseus to return to the ship.

What is the meaning of the figurative language used in this excerpt? Mark Antony is sweet and kind with his words. Mark Antony steals honey and gives it back to the bees without them knowing. Mark Antony manipulates people without them knowing. Mark Antony is like a bee that makes honey for Rome.

Answers

Answer:

Mark Antony manipulates people without them knowing.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolve around the death of Julius Caesar and the fights for the power of Rome. This play delves into the historical facts about Caesar's death and how the nation of Rome came to be the main bone of contentment among the major powers in an attempt to be made ruler of Rome.

In the given excerpt from Act V scene i of the play, Cassius comments how Mark Antony is like a bee, for "they rob the Hybla bees And leave them honeyless". This is a figurative language that compares Antony to a honeybee who sweet-talks and gain friendship and trust from the others while secretly trying to achieve personal gain, for his own interest. Cassius's comment seems to suggest that Mark Antony knows how to manipulate people without them knowing what he is really doing.

He roused up and gave me good-day. I told him a friend of mine had commissioned me to make some inquiries about a cherished companion of his boyhood named Leonidas W. Smiley — Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley — a young minister of the Gospel, who he had heard was at one time a resident of Angel's Camp. I added, that, if Mr. Wheeler, could tell me anything about this Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley, I would feel under many obligations to him. Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair, and then sat me down and reeled off the monotonous narrative which follows this paragraph.
