1. how does the governor's house contrast and contradict the simplicity of puritan values, as described in chapter 7 of the scarlet letter? a. hester finds the governor's house so ornate that she doesn't know how to act, which is contradictory because she has been there many times. b. the governor's house is very simple and plain, which seems out of place for a person in such authority. c. it seems strange that the governor has such a small home when he's the head of a colony of people. d. it's ironic that the governor's home is so beautiful and ornate when so many puritans believed in simplicity.

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
