Read the excerpt from "Civil Peace” by Chinua Achebe.

Of course the doors and windows were missing and five sheets off the roof. But what was that? And anyhow he had returned to Enugu early enough to pick up bits of old zinc and wood and soggy sheets of cardboard lying around the neighbourhood before thousands more came out of their forest holes looking for the same things.

How does the setting affect Jonathan’s actions in the excerpt?

Jonathan returns to Enugu to help the thousands of other people clean up the war-torn area.
Jonathan works on rebuilding his house early in the morning with the materials he finds on the ground.
Jonathan works on the other houses in the neighborhood before moving on to fix his own house later.
Jonathan returns to Enugu early to collect debris before others in the war-torn area do.

The answer to the first question is the second answer or letter B, and the answer to the second question is  the last answer or letter D, because it is backed up by the excerpt, "<span>And anyhow he had returned to Enugu early enough to pick up bits of old zinc and wood and soggy sheets of cardboard lying around the neighbourhood before thousands more came out of their forest holes looking for the same things." Thanks and please mark as brainliest if it was a great answer.

Answer:

Body Paragraph 2

Topic: The lack of understanding from the protesters

Example: "These protesters couldn’t have known what Areliss felt as they shouted and waved pamphlets in our faces like tattered flags. But, I know their words were bullets to Areliss’s heart. I wanted to fire back to the protestors: Where are your ancestors from?"

Explanation: They way the protesters are shouting at Brittany friend was so brutal and so harsh. They wouldn't understand the way she felt, and for that reason right there she wanted to say something that would been detrimental to them rednecks. 

Example: "But, those who oppose DACA, who wield protest signs and who want to build walls, have never felt the dreaded doom of deportation. They forget that our long and colorful history has been built by many immigrants—including the immigrants who fought for and founded our country. They forget that Lady Liberty stands as a beacon, asking for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We have a responsibility to them"

Explanation: All her letter was basely saying she is trying to remind the people who oppose DACA and haven't felt the dread or the worry of discrimination. Some of them rednecks forgot that the immigrants built up the country. Since they forgot now the world is built up with hatred.

Part 2:

In this story, Martin Luther King shows how they treated horribly and how he wants a change. In this story, Martin Luther King writes a letter on how he and his friends are treated rudely. Dr King and his friends come off a bus and see protesters telling them to leave. People telling them to go home where they are from. The reason they are being treated so bad is that his friend did not come to the united states legally. Their parents came looking for a better lifestyle but didn't do it the right way. When she got off the bus and saw how they treated her it hurt her very much.
