natulia [17]

Answer:

  • The missing pages in Dr. Yu Tsun's statement become an extended metaphor  <u>that helps solve the mystery</u>.

The remainder of the story is the testimony, told from the perspective of Dr. Yu Tsun. Since the initial two pages are "missing," we begin in mid-sentence.

Speaker's brave conquests are mentioned or at least cited in the following options from the excerpt:

  • <em>Option 1</em>, in which he tells about his innumerable combats he had won.
  • <em>Option 4 </em>also celebrates his fight with Grendel.
  • In <em>Option 6</em>, the speaker is showing us how valiant his action in the field of war can be.

Therefore, I assume, from my understanding, that these are the three statements from the provided excerpt which focus on the narrators heroic accomplishments.

Choose one of the following symbols: the tannery, literacy/learning, rice, the bullocks. In at least 150 words, identify what it
Leya [2.2K]

Rukmani's life is filled with struggle, yet she remains resolutely optimistic about her future. Married off to a poor rice farmer at the age of 12, Rukmani struggles through loneliness, infertility, starvation, and great loss with persevering optimism. The novel's title, Nectar in a Sieve, refers to nectar, a sweet liquid, and a sieve, a device with meshes that allows liquid to pass through while trapping solids in the device. The title suggests Rukmani's ability to appreciate the short, sweet moments in life before they disappear. During the Deepavali celebration in Chapter 10, for example, Rukmani's family struggles to eat, yet she doles out precious pennies for the children to buy fireworks because "it is only once ... a memory." Similarly, at the end of the novel when she and Nathan have been saving to return to the village, she feels overcome with happiness while at the market with Puli. She buys fried pancakes instead of plain rice cakes and wooden toys for the children: "Well, if we are extravagant it is only once." No matter what suffering comes Rukmani's way, she maintains optimism that life can only get better. She tells Kenny, "Want is our companion from birth to death." Rather than wallow in what's lacking, Rukmani always chooses to look ahead: to the next meal, the next year, or the next harvest.
