excerpt from "Solitude" by Henry David Thoreau

This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night, and the note of the whippoorwill is borne on the rippling wind from over the water. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface. Though it is now dark, the wind still blows and roars in the wood, the waves still dash, and some creatures lull the rest with their notes. The repose is never complete. The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now; the fox, and skunk, and rabbit, now roam the fields and woods without fear. They are Nature's watchmen, —links which connect the days of animated life. . . .

Some of my pleasantest hours were during the long rain storms in the spring or fall, which confined me to the house for the afternoon as well as the forenoon, soothed by their ceaseless roar and pelting; when an early twilight ushered in a long evening in which many thoughts had time to take root and unfold themselves. . . . Men frequently say to me, "I should think you would feel lonesome down there, and want to be nearer to folks, rainy and snowy days and nights especially." I am tempted to reply to such,—This whole earth which we inhabit is but a point in space. How far apart, think you, dwell the two most distant inhabitants of yonder star, the breadth of whose disk cannot be appreciated by our instruments? Why should I feel lonely? Is not our planet in the Milky Way? This which you put seems to me not to be the most important question. What sort of space is that which separates a man from his fellows and makes him solitary? I have found that no exertion of the legs can bring two minds much nearer to one another.

Which sentence best expresses the author's viewpoint about being alone in "Solitude"?
A.Being alone can be extremely pleasant.


B.Being alone inevitably means feeling lonely.


C.Only certain types of people can stand being alone.


D.One is never truly alone.

At what age do we learn how to trust and why ??



At what age do we learn who we are and why

Answers

Answer: This is just my personal opinion, but I believe it is mostly true, and that everyone could agree on it!

1. I believe we learn how to trust as soon as we are able to learn other things, like speaking, writing, our manners, and more. It part of human nature to learn to trust, no one really can tell us how to trust, all they can o is become a person we can trust in our own time, like our mom and dad for instance. Now, while that may be true, that can be different for other people  who might not have been born into a good family. If you grow up in a bad environment, with everyone lieing to you and treating you bad all the time, you might not learn to trust people till a long time. It is quite important to learn to trust others in life. We need to learn to trust others, so we actually have help, and people to rely on. You can do everything yourself your whole life! You need others to help you! Especially when we have really bad days, we need other people we trust to be there for us, and help us. We shouldn't have to think about whether or not you should trust them in moments like that.

2. For the second question, it varies. In some ways it could be like the first answer I gave about trust, but most of the time it's not. I believe you truly start to learn who we are when we are tweens-teens. That's because we are going through puberty, and things start to change. You figure out what type of people you like to hang out with, you start learning more about life, you express your emotions more, you learn about careers, your mindset changes and you become more mature, and many more things!

Explanation: Done! I hope that helped! Have a nice day!

(If you wouldn't mind giving me  breainliest, that would help a lot! But it's fine if you don't, I'm just glad  to help! God bless you!)

Which of the following aspects of theodora’s behaviour before and after the manuscript is mailed best illustrates her overall emotional state?

Answers

The aspect of Theodora Dace's behavior before and after she mailed the manuscript of "April Showers" is best illustrated by the emotional state: suspense.

 

Suspense creates a feeling of uncertainty, anxiety, and excitement. It is an emotional state of mind.

 

Suspense captured the emotional state of Theodora Dace when she sent her first manuscript to a publishing house. The book was titled "April Showers." Could it be published in a male-dominated society, where female authors were unheard of nor recognized?

 

For weeks, she anxiously waited for a positive reply. The anticipation was never fulfilled until she traveled to Boston to confront the publisher and ascertain if the manuscript was received in the first place.

 

Thus, Theodora's behavior before and after mailing the manuscript is suspense or uncertain anticipation.

Email is an important part of digital marketing. There are two types: Planned and Triggered. Planned emails are set on a prescribed schedule, usually including a call to action. Triggered emails happen when the reader takes some action, such as visiting a website, completeing a sale, not completing a sale, signing up for something, downloading a free item, etc. These are often also built into customer relationship management systems, sent when an inquiry is made. Find an email that you opened that was sent to you from an organization, perhaps where you've bought something or made contact. Did you open the email when it was first sent? Why or why not? Looking at it now, is it effective? If you were in charge of emails, how would you improve it? (Anything like "no improvement needed" is not an acceptable answer). Please answer and thank you.​

Answers

Explanation:

I recently received a triggered email that pertained to an incomplete transaction on a product that I viewed on an e-commerce website. It was the firm's way of re-engaging my interest in pursuing the transaction.  

I did not open the email immediately because it was not as important or relevant to me at that given moment—I was no longer interested in purchasing the item upon the receipt of the message.   Looking at it now, I do not think that the email is as effective due to its vague subject line. The body of the message also does not include any specific details on the product—I had to click the link provided in the email to find out about that particular product. I view this as a waste of time. The body of the email also contained too much negative space. The firm could have included its current product offerings and promotions.  

If I were in charge of emails, I would improve it by including a clear subject line that details the message's content.  Additionally, rather than providing a link to the abandoned cart or product, I will provide the necessary details for the readers to make their time of opening their emails worthwhile. More importantly, it is essential to customize or tailor the content according to the reader's preferences or needs.
