The major part of the Petrarch sonnet is the
Answer Details
A Petrarchan sonnet consists of 14 lines and is typically divided into two parts: an octave (8 lines) and a sestet (6 lines). The major part of the Petrarchan sonnet is usually considered to be the sestet, as it typically provides a resolution or conclusion to the ideas presented in the octave. The octave usually sets up a problem or situation, while the sestet often offers a solution or reflects on the situation in a new way. However, both the octave and sestet are important parts of the sonnet, and together they create a complex and unified whole.

Answer Details
Volvox is an example of an organism that exists as a colony. A colony is a group of individual organisms that live together and function as a unit, but are not dependent on each other for survival. Volvox is a type of green algae that forms spherical colonies of hundreds or thousands of individual cells. These cells are arranged in a single layer on the surface of the colony, with the flagella (whip-like structures) of each cell facing outward. The colony moves through the water by the coordinated movement of these flagella, which creates a current that propels the colony forward. The individual cells of the colony are specialized for different functions, such as reproduction, photosynthesis, and locomotion.

The poem is a lyric. It expresses personal feelings and emotions, and is typically meant to be sung or recited. In this case, the speaker is faced with a decision about whether to stay or go with someone, and through their doubts, the other person shows them the way forward with love and support. The poem is short and focused on a specific moment or experience, rather than mourning or reflection (elegy) or a gentle, soothing melody (lullaby).

Gymnosperms bear naked seeds because they lack
Answer Details
Gymnosperms are plants that have seeds which are not enclosed in a fruit or ovary. This is because they lack an ovary, which is the female reproductive structure that encloses and protects the ovules (future seeds) in angiosperms (flowering plants). In gymnosperms, the ovules are exposed on the surface of a cone or cone-like structure, and they are not enclosed by an ovary or fruit. This is why gymnosperms are said to bear "naked" seeds. The lack of an ovary also means that gymnosperms do not produce fruits.
Question 13 Report
Muscles act in opposite direction in order to
Answer Details
Muscles act in opposite directions in order to cause a bone to move. The contraction of one muscle pulls the bone in one direction, while the contraction of the opposing muscle pulls the bone in the opposite direction, resulting in movement. This is how our body can perform complex movements such as walking, running, jumping, and lifting objects. The opposing action of muscles also helps to prevent dislocation at joints by keeping them stable and balanced. While muscles can experience fatigue, the opposing action of muscles does not prevent muscle fatigue directly. The regulation of bodily activities is controlled by the nervous and endocrine systems.
Question 15 Report
The ....... produces comic relief in drama
Answer Details
The answer is "clown". In drama, a clown is a character who is intentionally funny and produces comic relief. The clown's role is to lighten the mood of the audience and provide a break from the serious and dramatic events happening in the play. The clown is often depicted as a foolish or silly character, and their antics are meant to make the audience laugh. They are a common feature in many types of drama, including Shakespearean plays and modern comedies.

Answer Details
"Run from her guardage" refers to Desdemona, who is being described as someone who shuns wealthy and privileged suitors of her own nation and instead prefers the company of someone like Othello, who is considered by some to be beneath her in social standing. The term "guardage" suggests that Desdemona's behavior is being closely watched or guarded, perhaps by her family or society, which makes her choice even more shocking to some.

Answer Details
The correct answer is option D - Desdemona and Othello. In the given extract, the speaker (Emilia) talks about finding a napkin and mentions that it was the first gift Desdemona received from Othello (the Moor). The speaker's husband (Iago) had tried to persuade her to steal the napkin many times, but Desdemona valued it so much that she always kept it with her and talked to it. Therefore, "this napkin" is "the token" of love between Desdemona and Othello.

Answer Details
The dominant literary device used in the poem is metaphor. The poem compares the choice the speaker must make to a crossroads, where they must decide whether to leave or stay with the addressee. The choice is represented as a physical path, which the speaker must take. The metaphor is extended further with the image of the addressee lifting a lamp of love, illuminating the path for the speaker and showing them the way to go. The road, therefore, represents the speaker's choice or decision.

Answer Details
"Sooty bosom" is a metaphor for Othello. The word "sooty" means black or dark, while "bosom" refers to the chest or heart. The metaphor suggests that Othello is dark or black, and that he is not someone to be desired or delighted in, but rather someone to be feared. The use of the metaphor also suggests that the speaker, who is most likely Iago, sees Othello as inferior to the wealthy and privileged men of their society, whom he describes as "curled darlings."

Answer Details
Gymnosperms are a group of plants that produce seeds without enclosing them in a fruit or ovary. They bear naked seeds because they lack an ovary. Ovary is a part of the flower that contains the ovules which eventually develop into seeds. In gymnosperms, the ovules are not enclosed in an ovary, and they are exposed on the surface of the scales of a cone or a modified leaf. The lack of an ovary is one of the characteristics that distinguish gymnosperms from angiosperms, which are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in a fruit or ovary.

Answer Details
Muscles act in opposite directions in order to cause a bone to move. The muscle fibers in opposing muscle groups are arranged in a way that allows them to work together to produce movement. For example, when the biceps muscle in the upper arm contracts, it pulls the forearm towards the upper arm. However, the triceps muscle, which is the opposing muscle group, must relax in order for the biceps to contract and move the arm. Similarly, when the triceps muscle contracts, the biceps must relax to allow movement. This coordinated action of opposing muscle groups enables us to perform a wide range of movements, such as bending and straightening our arms or lifting and lowering our legs.

Answer Details
The phrase "The sun smiled gently on the scene" is an example of personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which non-human objects or ideas are given human-like qualities or characteristics. In this case, the sun, which is a non-human object, is given the human-like quality of smiling, which is something only humans can do. By describing the sun as "smiling gently on the scene," the writer is using personification to create a vivid and memorable image in the reader's mind.
