Answer:
<u><em>It contradicts the characterization of knights as mindless but continues to uphold traditional notions of knighthood. </em></u>
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
It is of interest to note the expression <em>"he got up and played his hands like a major- and took every trick", </em>this was not the earlier characterization of knights. They were often portrayed as been mindless who like to bully others, etc, but here Sir Kay was seen as a premier warrior, a major indeed.
In order to answer this question, one must think about the time period. This is long before women had jobs outside of the home. They were expected to care for the home and the children, take care of the needs of their husband, and be seen, not heard. Keeping those characteristics in mind and reading through all the answers, the only logical answer would be the first one: In the 1800s, women were expected to be submissive to men (do what they are told to do by the man), and Nora was discovering that Helmer has taken advantage of that.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.
Meir Katz remained on the train. The last day had been the most lethal. We had been a hundred or so in this wagon. Twelve of us left it. Among them, my father and myself.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that ______
A) few survived the horrific train ride.
B) the author and his father were safe.
C) Meir Katz was not as strong as he seemed.
D) Meir Katz was left behind to remove the dead.
Answer:
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that A) few survived the horrific train ride.
Explanation:
This excerpt makes one clear point. It's main purpose is to show how horrific the train ride was, especially its last night. Out of a hundred people who had been in the wagon, only 12 left. The author does mention that him and his father were safe. Yet, the most important piece of information - and the most shocking one - is how many people died. Therefore, letter A is the best option.
The topic sentence is usually the first sentence
