For this accession, then, pure theoretical reason,

simply to thank its

| Guess: |
reflective |
| Question: |
How do pure and practical faculties coalesce? |
| Answer: |
Pure and practical faculties coalesce through the use of an apodeictic practical law, which allows (transcendent) thoughts to acquire objective reality. While these thoughts do not form any synthetical judgement about the objects, or help in determining their theoretical application, they help in the enlargement of the theoretical knowledge of reason. When these ideas become the source of the possibility of realizing the necessary object of pure practical reason - the summum bonum - they can be said to have become immanent and constitutive, rather than remaining transcendent, and merely regulative principles of speculative reason. This is made possible by the practical faculty of reason, which helps stay clear of anthropomorphism and fanaticism, thus acting as an aid to the practical use of pure reason. |

The subtly changed expression of loyalty in his read- ing, though new, is also connected to his

| Guess: |
sinecure |
| Question: |
How was he loyal before? |
| Answer: |
Before this change, he was loyal in a more passive state, which manifested itself through lament. This can be inferred from his previous commentary, which remains consistent with his new interpretation. This past loyalty was rooted in his understanding of Du Fu and personal re-experience during the period of social upheaval. His mode of expressing loyalty was subtly different, informed by his life reading first proposed in the Song and his experiences during the late Ming period. |

TO MY MOTHER
by Edgar Allan Poe
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels,
whispering
to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you-
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.

What potential difficulties or discomforts might be mitigated by only sleeping at the hotel? |
| Answer: |
The potential difficulties or discomforts that might be mitigated by only sleeping at the hotel involves overcrowding in Mrs. Westgate's house. Given she already has a lot of people staying with her, there might not be enough room for additional guests. Sleeping at the hotel provides a personal space and likely ensures more comfort and privacy. |
