Answer 1

You don't fool me. You have posted numerous 'Please do my homework for me' questions in this section under different IDs over the last week or so. We are not idiots, so please do not treat us like such.



You are also very, VERY rude, as your abusive e-mails to me have proved (forwarded on to Y! to be dealt with if they see fit).



I suggest you GO AWAY, stop being so LAZY and DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK. I warn you that there are some contributors so tired of lazy people like you that they deliberately post wrong answers in the hope you will copy them and make yourself look even more foolish than you already have.



Other than that, you won't find people here gullible enough to do you assignments for you.



Goodbye!

Answer 2

Just expanding a bit on Alberich's already helpful proposals...



I don't give a fig about what is considered 'done' and 'not done' re 'homework' here, and I deplore the shouting down often pursued in the course of such 'correctness'..



But you have given us nothing to work with. I can *help* with suggesting ways to reason your way out of what is perplexing you, so you can apply that help and then use reason to answer the Qs at hand.



You are seemingly left with Qs where only your absolute knowledge, one way or the other, will provide the answer. That, in honour and honesty, I *won't* assist with, for it would falsify the result of the qualification you seek as the result of this test, and which your performance would prove and/or disprove.



I wish you the very best,

Answer 3

nicely, right here, we've the question of "what's a 'golden age'?". I for one, haven't any concern with calling the 70's the 'golden age', because of the fact I see it as being different from the "ultimate". I see a golden age as style of the 'classic foundation' (i might draw a assessment to the Cambrian Explosion, yet I understand that no longer each and every person might understand what i grow to be announcing). So, confident, the 1970's have been undeniably 'classic', yet i do no longer think of they have been the "ultimate" BQ: placed up-metallic BQ2: Isis BQ3: Pelican - 'the hearth in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw' BQ4: no longer common. i'm going to bypass with Pelican's "March into the sea", for now. BQ5: The crescendo beginning approximately 21 minutes into Pig Destroyer's "Natasha". nicely, no, i did no longer advise it grow to be inferior. Many geologists assist you to grasp that the Cambrian era grow to be the main "exciting" era in geological background. it is in simple terms the sons and daughters who think of the Mesozoic grow to be cooler a cooler era than the Paleozoic. i'm of the opinion that music is one hundred% subjective, and so the certainty that i might like the 00's is via no skill announcing that somebody who likes the different era of music is "incorrect".

Answer 4

properly, right here, we've the question of "what's a 'golden age'?". I for one, have no difficulty with calling the 70's the 'golden age', by way of fact I see it as being distinctive from the "superb". I see a golden age as kind of the 'classic beginning' (i could draw a assessment to the Cambrian Explosion, yet I comprehend that no longer each and every person could understand what i grew to become into asserting). So, particular, the 1970's have been undeniably 'classic', yet i do no longer think of they have been the "superb" BQ: submit-metallic BQ2: Isis BQ3: Pelican - 'the hearth in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw' BQ4: difficult. i will pass with Pelican's "March into the sea", for now. BQ5: The crescendo commencing approximately 21 minutes into Pig Destroyer's "Natasha". properly, no, i did no longer advise it grew to become into inferior. Many geologists aid you know that the Cambrian era grew to become into the main "exciting" era in geological history. it particularly is purely the little childrens who think of the Mesozoic grew to become into cooler a cooler era than the Paleozoic. i'm of the opinion that music is one hundred% subjective, and so the shown fact that i could desire the 00's is on no account asserting that somebody who likes the different era of music is "incorrect".

Answer 5

I see from your profile that this is your first posting on this website. But even so, your naivete is hard to credit. You can't really believe that anyone is going to do your homework for you?



My response is to alert you to the fact that such questions for help are more frowned upon in this, the classical music category, probably more than any other.



And to assist you to a degree; but only for the sake of future reference. So, consider yourself properly informed with respect to any future "homework" questions.
