I’ll give points .. What is the effect of using the words dissonant and various to describe the sounds made by the lyre, a

musical instrument?

Read the second stanza from "Mutability"

Or like forgotten lyres, whose dissonant strings

Give various response to each varying blast,

To whose frail frame no second motion brings

One mood or modulation like the last.

O They emphasize differences.

They suggest disagreement

They emphasize imagination.

O They suggest a lack of control

They emphasize differences.

Explanation:

The word "various" refers to the meaning of variety, while the word "dissonant" refers to the meaning of difference and inequality. These two words as used in the poem shown above, show how the lyres presented different chords and sounds, with variety and the ability to cause different, unpredictable and completely different effects.

With that, we can say that the correct answer to your question is "They emphasize differences."

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
