Explanation:
Harriet Ann Jacobs's autobiographical narrative "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" delves into the discriminatory system of slavery and how it affects the blacks, especially the women slaves. This autobiography deals with the issue of slavery and the need for everyone to try to refrain from practicing it. The book also contains her journey and efforts to try to get her freedom from being a slave.
The bolded words in each of the quotes can be closely matched accordingly-
1.<u> Evinced means to show</u>. Considering the sentence or quote, we can infer that the author has so much intelligence that led to her masters to keep her.
2. <u>Forebore here means refused or concealed or refrain from mentioning</u>. This quote means that when Uncle Philip came with the good news, he told mother everything except some of the details about Benjamin, <em>"her darling"</em> so as not to hurt her.
3. The word<em> </em><u><em>"eking"</em></u><u> </u><u>signifies an effort or act to make a supply last economically</u>. This is evident when Harriet narrates how her mistress Mrs. Flint used to observe carefully how the provisions of the household were used. She mentions that she (Mrs. Flint) makes sure the slaves do not use up their provisions just to make themselves full. This shows a mean-spirited nature in most mistresses at those times.
4.<u> Disencumber most closely signifies one's desire to be free from or released from something or someone</u>. According to the quote, Harriet expressed her despise for her master who told her that <em>"[she] was made for his use, made to obey his command in everything"</em>. So, this is her expression of wanting her master gets swallowed up by the earth.
The correct answer is Both Antigone and Boadicea are heroines who choose their values over their lives, knowing they may die in the process.
Antigone was shocked due to Creon's decision, he decreed that none of those who had attacked Thebes will be buried. Since Antigone's brother Polyneices was killed during the war in Thebes burying him will mean disobedience towards Creon and result in Antigone's dead.
As for Boadicea, she wants to fight against the Romans, who are taking freedom and wealth away from her people. She is well aware her and her people are a minority however she still wants to stand against them despite the fact of knowing that they might get killed in the process.
Both characters are willing to fight for they beliefs, theirs values and their loved ones not caring whether they die. Because dying will mean that they at least tried.
Answer:
C) Clover feels frustrated at what has happened at the farm and at her inability to stop it.
Explanation:
" If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race." Here she thinks of how she Could've spoken her thoughts and perhaps could've had an influence on the events, but now, she has lost hope, with no picture of the future with just terror and control everywhere. The other options don't really work with the text as the last sentence: "There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind." goes against A and she was for Old Major's beliefs, but is distraught that the society has gone completely away from what they were. Hope this helps, idk why the other answer is that from another question.
