In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".

From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.

As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.

Read the lines from Robert Hayden’s poem "Monet’s ‘Waterlilies,’” and then look at the painting Water Lilies by Claude Monet.

Answer: The  right answer is the second one: An allusion to conflict.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit more on the answer, it is relevant to mention that American poet Robert Hayden (1913-1980) was very concerned with the experiences and history of Black Americans, hence his reference to two major conflicts that directly affected that community: the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, represented by the cities of Selma and Saigon, respectively. From the city of Selma, in Alabama, departed, in 1965, a series of protest marches organized with the goal of claiming the constitutional right of African Americans to vote. Those who participated in them were violently attacked, arrested and even killed. At the same time, and paradoxically, many African Americans had been sent to Vietnam in order to fight in the war and freed the South Vietnamese people, even though their own rights were not protected in their own country. For that reason, one of the major American Civil Rights Movement organization, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, became the first one in publicly showing opposition to the war, linking the two movements (anti-Vietnam war and Civil Rights Movement) inextricably.

It is for that reason that the speaker in Hayden’s poem resorts to Monet’s famous painting, which captures the serenity and the beauty of a little corner of his Japanese garden, in an attempt to escape, if only for a moment, from that violent reality.

Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Children’s March.
Aleks [24]

Answer: to reveal the challenges of social activism

This is the most accurate answer. In this excerpt, the author does not describe a routine action. The event was an anomaly in the lives of African Americans. The author also does not talk about the actions of police forces, as the father gave in without the intervention of the police. Finally, the author does not actually describe the pride the author feels for her father. What the excerpt shows is the challenges of social activism, and the judgement that activists faced when trying to do the right thing.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Add a comma after "environmentalism".

Explanation:

Punctuation is the most important part of a sentence. any misplacement or elimination of punctuation marks can change the entire meaning of a sentence.

In the given sentence, the grammatical error is in the punctuation mark. A comma (,) should be placed after the word "environmentalism."

So, the sentence with the correct punctuation mark would be:

<em>"Henry David Thoreau, often known as the father of environmentalism, wrote the book entitled Walden."</em>

The comma is placed after the word "environmentalism" because the phrase "often known as the father of environmentalism" is a modifier.

So, the correct answer is the last option.
