Read this excerpt from paragraph 15 of Nelson Mandela's Nobel Prize address and answer the question.

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.

17. How can we characterize the relationship between Huck and Jim? Does Huck ever view Jim as an equal, and vice versa?
belka [17]
Huck and Jim initially start out on two different levels of the totem pole: with Huck, a young, white male being on the top; and Jim, an escape slave, being on the bottom. Huck understands this and thus treats Jim poorly (such as when he plays tricks on Jim or looks down upon him), but after their time spent together as runaways, Huck begins to understand and respect Jim— and even care for him.
