Answer:

King Leopold, by the world "civilization", means European civilization, that is to say, all the economic, social, and political characteristics of the European world at his time.

Things like industry, monarchies, christianity, gunpowder based warfare, are the main characteristics of the European world at the time, and these are the things that King Leopold is referring to by the world "civilization".

iogann1982 [59]

Not having the excerpt here, I can only help you to find the answer.  Mood is the feeling you get when you read the passage.  Foreboding is fearful or apprehensive.  Welcoming is or can be joyful and accommodating or making someone feel comfortable in their surroundings.  Sorrowful is sad or mournful.  Optimistic is positive, hopeful, and confident about your future.  As you read the passage, which of these are you feeling or closely matches your feelings.

Based on your understanding of "Birthplace" by Tahereh Saffarzadeh, what does enjambment means?
AnnZ [28]

<u>Answer</u>:

Based on your understanding of "Birthplace" by Tahereh Saffarzadeh, (A) The term enjambment refers to the continuation of verse from one line of a poem to the next without a syntactical interruption.

<u>Explanation</u>:

“Tahereh Saffarzadeh” is the author of “Birthplace”. He was born in “Iran”. The poem is about how his mother felt ashamed after giving birth to a girl. Because in his culture birth of a son is a matter of pride for the mother. The poem shoes anger and strong feelings of a woman who eventually is disappointed with the people who made her feel low for being a girl.

“Enjambment” is the “continuation” of a sentence which doesn't have any pause at the end of a 'line', 'couplet', or 'stanza'.

<span>To show that the journalist knows more about what happened. I think this may be the case because the translator who I assume is the journalist raised his voice at Iqbal as did the mother to Iqbal's answer to the question about what happened after the shot was fired and the fact that Iqbal was " crying and confused" may mean he has some guilt in the affair. </span>
