Read this passage from frankenstein: in a solitary chamber, or rather cell, at the top of the house, and separated from all the other apartments by a gallery and staircase, i kept my workshop of filthy creation; my eyeballs were starting from their sockets in attending to the details of my employment (37-38). what is most clearly a motif in this passage? a. separation anxiety b. a gloomy setting c. a climactic plot d. unhealthy habits

A motif is a recurring subject or theme in a literary work.

In this passage, we may say that the motif is B. a gloomy setting, because everything that is described in the excerpt conveys the idea of a dark, depressing environment. The author has described in many sentences an atmosphere similar to a cell, so we may say that a gloomy setting is the motif of this passage.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

the answer is:

in the fourth paragraph. ( the paragraph that begins with “on friday of my third ”).

hope it !
