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.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

The type of presentation that will most likely benefit Janie in her meeting with the school board will be a persuasive oral one. Since Janie is already an outspoken advocate, it will not be difficult for her to put together an inspiring and convincing presentation.

It would no be a good idea for Janie to present pictures of school uniforms that are attractive because that would detract from her argument. Nor would it be a good idea for Janie to show the school board unflattering images of students in school uniforms as this would seem immature.

An audio presentation would not be nearly as effective face to face with the school board as an oral presentation, and a question-and-answer is likely to take place anyway after Janie's speech.

Fatima will enjoy working with other people on the yearbook.

In the excerpt we know that Fatima wasn't having a good afternoon. When Martina came up with a great suggestion for Fatima to contribute to the Yearbook without putting any pressure on her. We do not know about a conversation with her guidance counselor suggesting other clubs. We also don't know if her pictures will be any good. From the excerpt, it sounds as though Fatima likes the idea of a role behind the camera so it seems unlikely that she would take over the interview. The best answer is that Fatima seems to look forward to working with other people on the yearbook.
