The answer is: presence of supernatural elements or forces.

In the poem "The R*pe of the Lock," the author Alexander Pope makes use of supernatural elements to provide the story an amusing purpose. For example, Belinda's dream comes from Ariel, an invisible sylph who protects her. besides, there is a number of sylphs and gnomes Belinda cannot see but who help her with her appearance. Finally, when her lock of hair is stolen, Pope describes how a bitter gnome named Umbriel descends to the underworld and takes a bag full of tears, sobbing and outrage, which he later discharges on Belinda's head.

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4

b is the answer
