This excerpt comes from the poem  “ The Love Song of J. Alfred  Pufrock” written by T.S. Elliot. It relates of how an older lover contemplates the moves he has to make to his loved one.

Question: Select the two meanings of fix that are suggested by the use in the excerpt.

A. to rig or unfairly influence an outcome

C. to preserve a specimen for study

A). To rig or unfairly influence an outcome.

C). To preserve a specimen for study.

Explanation:

The excerpt from T.S. Eliot's 'The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock' demonstrating the obsession of an old modern man with his own sense of vulnerability and insufficiency to deserve the woman he loves. This leads to developing a lower moral and self-esteem that serves him creating an image of himself portraying him to be inadequate('I am pinned and wriggling') to the requirements of women.

The two meanings of 'fix' suggested here could be 'to rig or unfairly influence an outcome' and 'to repair something that is damaged or broken' as he considers himself to be incompetent or deficient who needs to be 'repaired'. Thus, options A and C are the answers.

moon-letters were a method of writing invented by the dwarves. moon-letters were ordinary runes, but written in such a way that they could only be read when the light of the moon shone behind the writing. some moon-letters could be read by any moonlight, but it was possible to make the writing even more secret. more sophisticated moon-letters could only be read by the light of the same shape of moon, or at the same time of year, as when they were written. hope this !

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
