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'.  <em>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).</em> Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

klemol [59]

Answer:

A: Have you ever really struggled to make a decision? I sure did. It was springtime. I was 11 years old and living with my grandma and grandpa in Florida. The weather was wonderful. I couldn’t wait to try out for spring sports!

B: That spring I had to decide between playing soccer and volleyball. I loved both sports but knew that if I wanted to be able to perform at my best, I would have to choose one over the other.

C: Beginning action topic sentence: I loved playing sports in the spring. The weather was just right.

Supporting detail 1: Every day, I’d rush home after school, gobble up a snack, and rush out again to play soccer in the park with my friends.

Supporting deta

il 2: Sometimes I went to the tennis courts on weekends with my best friend, Anna, who was on the tennis team at school.

Supporting detail 3: And then there were the afternoons we spent playing volleyball on the beach.

D: Middle action topic sentence: I had played soccer since I was 6 years old. My dad taught me to play because the little boys in my neighborhood wouldn’t let a girl like me play with them.

Supporting detail 1: From that day on, my dad was my coach. Playing soccer became one of my favorite things to do with him.

Supporting detail 2: It was my dad who encouraged me to join the junior soccer team when I was in the sixth grade.

Supporting detail 3: By then, soccer was not just an important part of my relationship with my dad; it was also my go-to whenever I felt down or discouraged.

E: End action topic sentence: Volleyball was a new sport for me.

Supporting detail 1: I only ever played it when I went to the beach with my friends. I had never played for a school team.

Supporting detail 2: I knew from the few times I’d played volleyball that I enjoyed the game. It was exciting, and it got my blood pumping.

Supporting detail 3: But I also knew that my serves were very weak; they never went where I wanted them to go. Usually the various members of the other team ducked the minute I served the ball. They didn’t want to get hit.

F: After I really took the time to think about it, I decided I would choose soccer as my spring sport. I had played it for so long that it just felt like the best choice. I will always remember this time in my life because it taught me to trust my instincts. Even though I still enjoy volleyball, soccer is my true love. I’m glad that I’ve stuck with it all these years.
