English

Arada [10]2 years ago

The synonym for "scourge" that best conveys Mandela's intended meaning in describing abuse and ignorance is "plague," as further explained below.

<h3>Why is "plague" the best option?</h3>

As stated in the question, all answer choices are possible synonyms for "scourge". However, one of them conveys Mandela's intended meaning better. We must keep in mind that Mandela is using "scourge" to talk about abuse and ignorance.

In that case, "plague" seems to be the best option. Abuse and ignorance are too big an issue to be expressed through lighter words such as "difficulty" or "disturbance." "Punishment" could be a possibility, but it simply does not go well with the context.

With the information above in mind, we can select "plague" as the correct answer for this question.

Who is the second person to impact holden's life in catcher in the rye
Dima020 [189]
The second-person “you,” likening the reader to a trusted confidant. The final line of the flashback portion of the novel is “God, I wish you could’ve been there,” suggesting Holden’s loneliness would have been relieved by having a friend like the reader with him during his experiences. The second-person address also draws attention to Holden’s unreliability as a narrator. Throughout the novel, Holden tries to convince the reader to interpret events one way while simultaneously presenting evidence that the opposite interpretation is correct. For example, he frequently insists how well he knows people – “The thing is, you didn’t know Stradlater. I knew him,” or “I know old Jane like a book.” However, his interactions with Stradlater, and his reluctance to contact Jane, suggest he is neither as intimate nor comfortable with them as he’d like the reader to believe. He also makes several references to how much he hates movies, and thinks his brother D.B. is a “prostitute” for writing for them, yet he mentions going to the movies several times. In these ways, Holden’s attempts to control the reader’s impression of him end up revealing who he really is.

Can someone Write me an essay in which you explain how travel can be educational please it can really help!!
aksik [14]

Answer:

Children learn many lessons about life and relationships just by being able to understand how in different ways certain lessons are the same, and how some aspects are entirely different.

Explanation:

Children who travel more are more likely to be adventurous, tolerant, and more interested in trying out new things.  It provides an experiential learning approach where children learn in a real environment. Traveling teaches children about different traditions, customs, cultures, and languages. There is also research that indicates that students who travel achieve better performance in school, due to exposure to practical learning.

Traveling gives the outside world view to the children from where they can learn about new food, clothing, sports, people, etc.
