Which word in this excerpt from william shakespeare's hamlet means "resistant"? anon he finds him, striking too short at greeks. his antique sword, rebellious to his arm, lies where it falls, repugnant to command. unequal match'd, pyrrhus at priam drives, in rage strikes wide, but with the whiff and wind of his fell sword the unnerved father falls. then senseless ilium, seeming to feel this blow, with flaming top stoops to his base, and with a hideous crash takes prisoner pyrrhus' ear; for lo his sword, which was declining on the milky head of reverent priam, seem'd i' the air to stick. so as a painted tyrant pyrrhus stood; and, like a neutral to his will and matter, did nothing.

Which is a higher ratio, 6: 9 or 3: 7

Which word best describes the white rabbit in the passage?

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
