I don't know which edition you're referring to. I suppose the lines 43-58 are actually the third paragraph. So, here's the answer:
The narrator's relationship with her husband has changed because of a supernatural influence that she can't exactly explain or fathom. She doesn't really know what happened, when, or why, but at night her husband was not the same person she married. "It’s the moon’s fault, and the blood. It was in his father’s blood," she reasons. Her husband is alienated because of this, and somehow she feels that they don't belong together anymore. He goes out to find those who are like him. "Something comes over the one that’s got the curse in his blood, they say, and he gets up because he can’t sleep, and goes out into the glaring sun, and goes off all alone — drawn to find those like him."
Answer:
Jim clearly thinks it is better to bide his time and try to convince his slave owners to let him free. The narrator of this text doesn't believe it is worth the time kissing up to the slave masters as that submissive behavior is what owners are expecting anyway and ultimately hope to achieve through the fear tactics and whipping. The narrator believed the only way to achieve freedom was to take it. It seems quite apparent that they cannot stand to stay where they are. They've developed such a sense of dignity that they would rather risk punishment than do nothing.
Explanation:
(D) That Leila is shocked at what the driver of the convertible did
Incredulous is defined as being "unwilling to admit or accept what is offered as true". If we analyze the sentence carefully, we can sort of make out how she feels, but if we completely remove the word from the sentence and input something we can understand a little easier, such as:
<em>"...</em><u><em>incredibly surprised</em></u><em> that he would stop traffic just to yell at another driver behind him."</em>
We can see that it fits right in.
Lastly, look at the word itself. It has a lot in common with "incredible" which is a much more commonly used word, knowing that it means "too improbably to be believed". This is one of the best methods for finding out the meaning to words we don't know. It won't be perfect 100% of the time, but in most cases it works.
The purpose of this passage is to provide instructions on how to make tortillas; therefore it is an instructive type of text. One of the most common types of instructive texts is recipes. Recipes indicate step by step how to make a specific food. In this example, we can see how sequence connectors “next” and “finally” add cohesion to the text and relates the previous step with the other.
Answer:
B) You should always tell people how you feel.
Explanation:
Even though it may seem something difficult to do, especially to timid or introvert people, telling your feelings will always be better than keep them. By telling, you let others to understand you and keep missinterpretations out of the question. Also, it will help to <u>liberate the stressful weight</u> of having them inside.
