Which sentence best represents the complicating incident in "R.M.S. Titanic"?

English
1 answer:
Grace [21]2 years ago

Answer: "Out of the dark she came, a vast, dim, white, monstrous shape, directly in the Titanic's path."

Explanation:

The complicating incident in a story refers to an event or series of events where conflict arises.

In the well known story of the R.M.S. Titanic which hit an iceberg and sank, the arrival of or rather the meeting of the Titanic with the iceberg can be considered the complicating incident.

This is because at this point, the conflict of the ship hitting the iceberg arose and when that happened, the ship began to take in water and eventually sank.

Finger [1]

In stanza seven, comparing mice and humans, the author Robert Burns suggests that foresight and planning the future can go wrong for everyone, either mice or humans.

However, in the final stanza Burns still considers the mouse fortunate, because it is only aware of the present moment. It is a human attribute to look at the past and to fear what the future has to bring.

How does a parent’s relationship with his or her daughter while she is a bacha posh compare to after, when she is asked to prese
liq [111]

In Afghanistan, "bacha posh" directly translates to "dressed like a boy" for children who are born female. The families may choose to raise their daughters as bacha posh to ensure safety and a better quality of life.

During their childhood, bacha poshs are allowed movement to run errands, escort sisters, go to school and get an education, and even play sports. The parents give much freedom to bacha poshs. Once she reaches puberty she is expected to switch to a conservative women's lifestyle; to marry and have children. The parents behavior towards their daughter during and after the bacha posh phase is contradictory - the relationship towards their daughter is the complete opposite afterwards.

Which of the following best summarizes the circumstances Chief Red Cloud and his people were facing before they were placed on r
vitfil [10]

The right answer is "B Red Cloud describes the situation as bleak; with little food and fading traditions, they felt one of their only choices was to agree to reservation life and adopt white American ways."

In 1871, the government established the Red Cloud Agency on the Platte River, downstream from Fort Laramie. As outlined in the 1868 Treaty, the agency staff were responsible for issuing weekly rations to the Oglala, as well as providing the annually distributed supply of cash and annuity goods. The agent and Washington officials would determine how much of the annuity was to be paid in cash or goods, and sometimes the supplies were late, in poor condition, inadequate in amount, or never arrived at all. Red Cloud took his band to the agency (a predecessor of the Native American reservation) and tried to help them in the transition to a different way of life. In the fall of 1873, the agency was removed to the upper White River in northwestern Nebraska.
