Answer:

A). Marlow says the colonialists had a hole dug out of "the philanthropic desire of giving criminals something to do."

Explanation:

"Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad is an attempt to reveal and interrogate the roots of colonialism and condemn the inner void and greed of the imperialistic pursuits of colonizers.

As per the question, the quote in which Conrad employs sarcasm while retelling Marlow's tale is displayed through option A i.e. 'Marlow displays that these 'colonialists had a whole dug out of the philanthropic desire of giving criminals something to do'. Conrad uses sarcasm in order to given an insight to the darkness of the colonizers and reveal the alternative side of their(colonizers') so called 'philanthropic lies' in a light-hearted manner which is the chief goal of sarcasm(to expose the human follies through humor and irony). Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition Enjoys reading

A interpersonal

B musical

C body-kinesthetic

D spatial

E linguistic

F intrapersonal

G logical-mathematical

From this list, the answer that best fits is E. Linguistic

This is because the other options have nothing to do with reading. Linguistics is the scientific study of language. A linguist studies language from the origin of words, the grammar and other aspects of language. In the light of this, a linguist has to enjoy reading seeing as they study language and indeed words.

Note: As for the question itself "enjoy reading"

Other words that can be used in to describe someone who enjoys reading is bibliophile or a bookworm.

Also, in learning there are visual learners. Visual learners learn by seeing or forming an image of what they're learning. A visual learner will prefer and enjoy reading than just listen because he/she understands and learns better that way.

In “The Lamb,” the central symbol is... Question options:

Fynjy0 [20]

In this poem by William Blake the lamb symbolizes innocence.

This poem belongs to Blake's collection of poems, "Songs of Innocence", and the same iconographic elements that are used in Christianity can be found; the lamb represents innocence, sacrifice and Jesus on the cross to free humanity from sin. Blake questions the little lamb if it knows who or what has created it, telling it that it was God’s will that brought it to life.
