Answer:

1. Yes, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam experienced segregation as a child.

2. The society practiced stratification and segregation of various social groups.

Explanation:

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the 11th President of India, also known as the 'missile man', because of his contribution to the launching of India's first satellite, experienced segregation as a child. This is revealed in a story named the 'Three wise men', which he relayed to the Telegraph. He explained that he always wore a cap that distinguished him as a Muslim, and in the class, he sat next to his friend Ramanadha Sastry who wore a thread to identify him as a Hindu. A new teacher who was just assigned to their class, frowned against this sitting arrangement, arguing that it was not proper for people of different religions or social groups to sit together. He sent Kalam to the last seat, and this act upset the two friends who went back home and narrated the incident to their parents.

Their parents were not happy about the incident and so, Kalam's father (a Muslim), a Brahmin friend (Lakshmana Sastry, father to Ramanadha Sastry), and a Christian Priest came to the school and issued a warning to the teacher not to sow the seed of discord in the hearts of young children. The teacher's action was actually a reflection of the stratification and social segregation that was so prevalent in the society where young Kalam had grown up.

In 1840, the transcendentalist periodical The Dial was founded, and in that same year it published "Orphic Sayings" by Amos Bronson Alcott.

The Dial was a journal that supported the transcendentalists' philosophy, influenced by Immanuel Kant. Transcendentalism believes in the inherent goodness of people and nature and reinforces the idea that society is capable of corrupting the soul of an individual. Furthermore, "Orphic Sayings" was one of Alcott's contribution to The Dial. Alcott's work got favorable reviews and was considered highly valuable for its philosophy. In that way, "Orphic Sayings" was famous for expressing the mystical idealism of the author. The last "Orphic Sayings" was published in 1842.

I liked reading the narrative more, because I think it gives a clearer picture of what Anne was really thinking while she was in hiding. It was fun to see what hiding was like from Anne's perspective rather than from a director and actors on a stage.

Which of the following sentences has correct subject-verb agreement?

marshall27 [118]

Answer: d. When he first enters the banquet hall, Macbeth appears cheerful.

Explanation: Subject-verb agreement means that the verb and the subject must agree in number, this means that if the subject is singular the verb needs to be also singular, and the same applies when the subject is plural. We must be careful with the final "s" in the verbs conjugated in the third person of singular (he, she, it). In the given sentences the option "a" is incorrect because the subject is "Lady Macbeth" (she) so the verb should be "walks", in the option "b" the correct it should say "Banquo, not Fleance, is killed" because the subject is singular (Banquo), the option "c" should be, "Fleance, without Banquo, escapes" (because the subject is Fleance), and the correct answer is "d" because it says "he first enters" and "Macbeth appears".
