Explanation:

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar., a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame.

Explain Lord Arthur's reconciliation with the prediction. How

the text?

Answers

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime: A Study of Duty", by Oscar Wilde.

Explain Lord Arthur's reconciliation with the prediction. How  does his solution to the problem contribute to the comedy of  the text?

Answer:

When Mr. Podgers, a palm reader, predicts Lord Arthur will murder someone, Arthur decides to do it as soon as possible to be able to marry Sybil after and not before to avoid her any pain. Each of his attempts to murder people fail, and he ends up killing the palm reader instead, and he gets away with it. However, we later discover that the palm reader was an impostor, meaning that Lord Arthur had been a victim of the power of suggestion.

Explanation:

The comedic effect comes when we discovered that Lord Arthur could have just ignored the prediction and everything would have been fine.

Why is the Professor so sure Ned Harviss will help him with his manuscript?

The Professor knew that Ned sometimes published science books.
Ned and the Professor were interested in the same types of books.
The Professor knew it was likely that Ned had outgrown his wildness.
Ned and the Professor used to have adventures together in college.

Answers

The professor and Ned Harviss had many adventures together during college and for that reason, the professor knew that there was a big possibility that Ned could help him with the new manuscript.

This certainty was intensified when the professor went to meet Ned and realized that his friend received him very warmly, showing that he was still interested in venturing along with him.

This question is related to the short story "The Descent of Man" by Edith Wharton. In this story we can see the following facts:

Professor Linyard strives to publish an academic work based on an ancient and mysterious manuscript.The Professor realizes that he needs help from another academic to succeed in this job.The professor remembers his friend Ned Harviss, who has not seen for 20 years and who became a book editor.The professor saw a great opportunity to publish his work if he was reunited with Ned.He hoped that Ned would be excited about the manuscript and feel that it provided an adventure, just like the old days.

Based on this, we can conclude that the professor hoped that Ned would help him with the manuscript, as he remembered how adventurous he and Ned were and the publication of this manuscript would be a great adventure for them.

In the space provided, explain how the meaning of the following words has changed over time. Identify both the 1611 meaning and present meaning of each word. Your response should be 4–6 sentences in length.

conversation
peculiar
corn

Answers

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. Conversation: From 1611, the meaning of conversation has changed from; a general way of behavior, to an intimate companionship, and today, it means a familiar discourse or chat.

2. Peculiar: In 1611, the word peculiar meant a private property of another

Answer:

1. In many passages, the word is used something like this: "Your vain conversation received from your fathers," or "Our conversation is in heaven." In the first passage, conversation refers to a manner of life; and in the second, it means citizenship. If you were to look up the root word and prefix, you would find that it means to have some kind of interaction with another person.

2. The word peculiar was used in 1611 to mean a very special person or object. This meaning can be followed to its present meaning, strange, odd, or unusual.

3. The word corn in England was the name used for all other grains except corn. They had never seen the grain they obtained later from the American Indian.

An Adverbial phrase is a type of phrase which performs the function of modifying a verb, adverb or adjective in a sentence by acting as an adverb.
