Read the excerpt below and answer the question. HALLY: That's perfectly correct. You see, you mustn't get the wrong idea about m

e and my Dad, Sam. We also have our good times together. Some bloody good laughs. He's got a marvelous sense of humor. Want to know what our favorite joke is? He gives out a big groan, you see, and says: "It's not fair, is it, Hally?" Then I have to ask; "What, chum?" And then he says: "A n****r's ar*e" . . . and we both have a good laugh. (The men stare at him in disbelief.) What's the matter, Willie? Don't you catch the joke? You always were a bit slow on the uptake. It's what's called a pun. You see, fair means both light in color and to be just and decent. (He turns to Sam.) I thought you would catch it, Sam. Why does Hally tell this joke to Sam and Willie?
A to make Sam and Willie laugh
B to explain to Willie what a pun is
C to hurt Sam and Willie with a racist joke
D to show the culture of white South Africans

Answer:

D to show the culture of white South Africans

Explanation:

Hally initially tells this joke so that she can show Sam and Willie that the relationship between him and his dad wasn't always bad. However, the joke really shows the culture of white South Africans. Telling this joke shows the naivete of Hally in how he views the joke as appropriate to tell around Sam and Willie. This shows the culture of white South Africans and how they viewed black people.

A code of Ethics is the framework of rules and regulations, almost the guideline, that an institution, or organization, may have, to help its members or workers choose the correct actions to take when facing a dilemma or a problem, in accordance with the principles and the mission and vision of the institution or organization. Although mostly seen in organization, there are also codes of ethics that are personal and these help an individual decide the right way to act in difficult situations. In the case of this scenario, there is a huge problem; the reporter is faced with her relationship to the person being investigated and about who she must report. Because of this familial relationship between reporter and investigated, the reporter should, C, tell the editor-in-chief about her relationship to the pilot, and ask that the story be assigned to another. This is the ethical thing to do because it allows the superior to know that there will be a conflict of interests and a possible bias, whether the reporter wants to or not. It also allows the chief to decide whether the connection between the two will affect the reporter´s abilities or not.

1. How does Uncle Axel's personality contribute to the development and complication of
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Uncle Axel is a kind man who does not share the Waknukian extreme beliefs, he is reasonable about issues that the authorities consider as Offences.

He has an open mind regarding his world and the rest of the world beyond the Labradors, and is concerned with the actual origin of things.

However he is also shrewd enough to keep his beliefs to himself.

These traits of his helps to develop and reinforce the idea of necessary secrecy for David (the protagonist) and others, the support his character gives David and the others enables them to live for many years without detection.

He indirectly encourages David to explore the world and follow his dreams when he gets the chance. His insistence that David helps to keep others like him safe contributes to the climax of the story, in that the group's effort to keep one of them safe lead to their being detected and brought under suspicion.

Explanation:

In <em>The Chrysalids</em> Uncle Axel is David's uncle, he is a kind and reasonable man who keeps an open mind and does not share the extreme religious belief of his people.

His character personality and support for David is the catalyst fro most of David's actions in the story, which contribute to the development of and complication of the plot.
