How does Milton describe Shakespeare as the source of inspiration for all succeeding generations of poets?
Solution and Explanation
Milton describes Shakespeare as the source of inspiration for all succeeding generations of poets by saying that his statements leave an enduring impression in his readers' minds. Meanwhile, one reads or listens to his sonnet or play, and they are left astonished and become fascinated and paralyzed with wonder. So, they are stunned to become marble statues in the tomb of Shakespeare over succeeding time. These works even astonish future generations, passed on from the previous one.

- Consider three metal spherical shells A, B, and C, each of radius \( R \). Each shell has a concentric metal ball of radius \( R/10 \). The spherical shells A, B, and C are given charges \( +6q, -4q, \) and \( 14q \) respectively. Their inner metal balls are also given charges \( -2q, +8q, \) and \( -10q \) respectively. Compare the magnitude of the electric fields due to shells A, B, and C at a distance \( 3R \) from their centers.

A school is organizing a debate competition with participants as speakers and judges. $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ where $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ represents the set of speakers. The judges are represented by the set: $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ where $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ represents the set of judges. Each speaker can be assigned only one judge. Let $ R $ be a relation from set $ S $ to $ J $ defined as: $ R = \{(x, y) : \text{speaker } x \text{ is judged by judge } y, x \in S, y \in J\} $.
