.Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea."

Then the little girl-daughter put up her little soft brown arms with the beautiful white shell bracelets and said, ‘O Eldest Magician! when my father here talked to you at the Very Beginning, and I leaned upon his shoulder while the beasts were being taught their plays, one beast went away naughtily into the Sea before you had taught him his play.

And the Eldest Magician said, ‘How wise are little children who see and are silent! What was the beast like?’

And the little girl-daughter said, ‘He was round and he was flat; and his eyes grew upon stalks; and he walked sideways like this; and he was covered with strong armour upon his back.’

And the Eldest Magician said, ‘How wise are little children who speak truth! Now I know where Pau Amma went. Give me the paddle!’

So he took the paddle; but there was no need to paddle, for the water flowed steadily past all the islands till they came to the place called Pusat Tasek—the Heart of the Sea—where the great hollow is that leads down to the heart of the world, and in that hollow grows the Wonderful Tree, Pauh Janggi, that bears the magic twin nuts. Then the Eldest Magician slid his arm up to the shoulder through the deep warm water, and under the roots of the Wonderful Tree he touched the broad back of Pau Amma the Crab. And Pau Amma settled down at the touch, and all the Sea rose up as water rises in a basin when you put your hand into it.

‘Ah!’ said the Eldest Magician. ‘Now I know who has been playing with the Sea;’ and he called out, ‘What are you doing, Pau Amma?’

And Pau Amma, deep down below, answered, ‘Once a day and once a night I go out to look for my food. Once a day and once a night I return. Leave me alone.’

Then the Eldest Magician said, ‘Listen, Pau Amma. When you go out from your cave the waters of the Sea pour down into Pusat Tasek, and all the beaches of all the islands are left bare, and the little fish die, and Raja Moyang Kaban, the King of the Elephants, his legs are made muddy. When you come back and sit in Pusat Tasek, the waters of the Sea rise, and half the little islands are drowned, and the Man’s house is flooded, and Raja Abdullah, the King of the Crocodiles, his mouth is filled with the salt water.’

Answer:

Chronological order.

Explanation:

A biography is a nonfiction book with the topic of a person's life. It would make the most sense for it to be in chronological order.

Chronological order should be the correct answer.

Answer:

He does not like Sam meddling in his family matters.

Explanation:

Athol Fugard's coming of age one-act play Master Harold and the Boys revolves around the characters of a white man Harold and his older black men-servants Sam and Willie. Set in the apartheid South African tea room, the plot delves into the issue of family, race, loyalty, and anger.

Towards the end of the play, Harold learned of his cripple father's return from the hospital. This made him so worked up that he even began criticizing and bad-mouthing his own father, which Sam tries to stop. This already outburst of anger led Hally to continue, even going as far as reiterating his white skin advantage over the black slaves. And when Sam told him to stop his nonsense and take back his words, he even attacked the old man, telling him "You're only a servant in here" and "He's a white man and that's good enough for you". He also spat at Sam to prove his point, asking them to address him as Master Harold and to never interfere in their family life, for they are just servants employed to help in the work and nothing else.  

Answer:

He is distressed upon hearing of his father’s return home.

Answer: A Raisin in the Sun is essentially about dreams, as the main characters struggle to deal with the oppressive circumstances that rule their lives. The title of the play references a conjecture that Langston Hughes famously posed in a poem he wrote about dreams that were forgotten or put off.

Explanation:

Suffixes are syllables or letters added after a word to create a new word derived from the original word. Additionally, in some cases due to language conventions, the original word is modified before any suffix can be added; this includes doubling the final consonant. From the options, this occurs in the words begin and shop; for example, in the word "beginner", in which the prefix "-er" is added to form a noun, the last letter "n" is doubled; this also applies to the word beginning. Similarly, in words such as "shopper" with the -er suffix or "shopping" the "p" is doubled.

Read this excerpt from the conclusion of Elie Wiesel's "The Perils of Indifference" speech:

Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it mean that society has changed? Has the human being become less indifferent and more human? Have we really learned from our experiences? Are we less insensitive to the plight of victims of ethnic cleansing and other forms of injustices in places near and far?

As the three brothers wait at the hospital to find out about their friends' conditions, reporters bombard them with questions. Finally, Darry convinces the reporters to leave, but the nurses still will not give Pony, Soda, and Darry any information about the conditions of Dally and Johnny (medical information is privileged and is only given to family members). Darry manages to convince the doctor that they, the three Curtis brothers, are the only real family that these two boys have, so the doctor gives them the bad news. Dally's one arm is severely burned, but he will eventually regain full use of it. Johnny is in critical condition; his back is broken and he is suffering with third-degree burns. If he lives, he will not be able to walk for the rest of his life. The realization that if he lives, he would have to stay in his parents' house, a place he hates, for the rest of his life is too much for the brothers. They decide to go home for the night.

The author's use of vocabulary in this passage helps to inform the reader about literature. Therefore option B is the correct response.

A novel is a lengthy piece of prose-based narrative fiction that is published as a book.

A novel is a book of a narrative or stories (in the case of the collection of short stories) written in not less than forty thousand words. A book is written on a specific subject without a defined count for the minimum number of words to be utilized. Any collection of stories with fewer words is not a novel.

The word "long work of prose fiction" that we use in English today comes from the Italian "novella," which means "new," "news," or "a short story of something new," and is derived from the Latin "novella," which is a singular noun use of the neuter plural of "novelus," which is a diminutive of "novus," meaning "new."

Explanation:

King's repetitive use of the phrase "I refuse" in that part of the speech helps to establish his perspective about the ability of mankind to influence and take charge of all situations affecting them.

He employs the continuous use of that phrase to jettison the notion that the present condition and the history of man can prevent him from achieving what he desires. He said, "I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the “isness” of man’s present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal “oughtness” that forever confronts him. "

King uses this phrase to ascertain that it is possible to peacefully cohabit without tribalism and racism, without war and social unrest. " I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality".

The tone of this part of the speech is that of optimism and belief in the possibility of peaceful coexistence among Americans and the world at large. King's repetition of the phrase " I refuse" is to establish this point and reject every negative notion.
