Guess: |
London merchants trading |
Question: |
Why would the London and American merchants resent the monopoly, according to "Reclusus"? |
Answer: |
According to "Reclusus," London and American merchants would resent the monopoly because it would negatively affect their private interests, as it would exclude them from a considerable branch of trade, and the tea consignees would profit instead. Furthermore, those who had previously dealt in tea would be deprived of the benefits arising from that business, as the monopoly would block their access to it. |

death were ever
floating
in his consciousness.
Guess: |
present |
Question: |
Why were corruption and death constantly present in his consciousness? |
Answer: |
Corruption and death were constantly present in his consciousness because he was a genuine poet who had his spirit disordered by the things around him. He was excessively developed in his taste for and by beauty, which made him see the hidden skeletons everywhere, like Flaubert. |

Baudelaire - Biographical Essay |
|
A vida contemplativa, para sequer existir, tem que considerar os acidentes objetivos como premissas dispersas de uma conclusão inatingível; mas tem ao mesmo tempo que considerar as contingências do sonho como em certo modo dignas daquela
atenção
a elas, pela qual nos tornamos contemplativos.
Guess: |
atenção |
Question: |
Why does the contemplative life need to consider both objective accidents and dream contingencies in order to exist? |
Answer: |
The contemplative life needs to consider both objective accidents and dream contingencies in order to exist because, as the passage suggests, recognizing both reality and illusion is equally necessary and equally useless. Objective accidents represent the reality that cannot be fully grasped, while dream contingencies represent the illusions that offer different perspectives to approach life. The contemplative life requires considering both aspects, as each provides a way to renew and enrich one's experiences and interactions with the universe. This enables the contemplative spirit to access the entire universe, even if it has never left its village, and find infinity within a cell, a desert, or a stone. |

Of blooded and
viviparous
quadrupeds some have the foot cloven into many parts, as is the case with the hands and feet of man (for some animals, by the way, are many-toed, as the lion, the dog, and the pard); others have feet cloven in twain, and instead of nails have hooves, as the sheep, the goat, the deer, and the hippopotamus; others are uncloven of foot, such for instance as the solid-hooved animals, the horse and the mule.

go home.
Guess: |
please |
Question: |
Why does Dill ask them to go home? |
Answer: |
Dill asks them to go home because Jem, and possibly someone else, told them that they should go home. It is not clear exactly why from the given passage, but it seems possibly related to a situation or conversation that they might not fully understand or is not appropriate for them. |
