In Born A Crime, author Trevor Noah explains in his memoir that most Xhosa (Xhosa forms the second largest ethnic group in South

Africa) names become self-fulfilling prophecies; his mother Patricia, "Nombuyiselo," means "She Who Gives Back," and is fitting: even as a child, she would care for younger, abandoned children. So, to exempt her son from fate, she names him "Trevor, a name with no meaning whatsoever in South Africa, no precedent in my family. It's not even a Biblical name."

Answer:

This example demonstrates D. onomastics.

Explanation:

Onomastics can be defined as the science or study concerning the origin, history, forms, and uses of proper names of persons or places. The whole excerpt we read in the question is an example of onomastics. Proper names are being analyzed - their origin and meaning, and even how they can influence someone's life by becoming self-fulfilling prophecies.

What was Henry David Thoreau’s purpose in writing “resistance to civil government”
Rama09 [41]

The correct answer is C.

Henry David Thoreau’s purpose in writing “resistance to civil government” was to explain the need to prioritize one's conscience over the dictates of laws.

In his essay, Thoreau explains that governments are typically more harmful than helpful and therefore cannot be justified. According to him, this defect could not be fixed with democracy because being a majority does not imply having the best morals and ideas.

Because of this, Thoreau calls citizens to follow their own morals and distance themselves from unfair governments. He believed that people should not dedicate themselves to eliminating evil if they did not want to, but they did have to avoid participating in it.

For which purpose and audience would a website be the most effective?
laila [671]

Answer: D. Informing the student body about the school's new recycling program.

A website would be particularly effective in this case because the audience that needs to be reached is a large one (the whole student body). Moreover, the topic is one which could be significantly complex. Students will probably use it as reference, so they will need to check it several times. A website would make it easily accessible and always available.

In "We Both Live in the Same Village," the speaker uses depictions of the natural world to symbolize his feelings for Ranjana an
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Rabindranath Tagore works with symbolism through out the entirety of his poem, "We Both Live in the Same Village". He describes that feelings that a common villager has for Ranjana, by symbolizing them with depictions of the natural world.

For example, when "The yellow birds sing on their tree", the villager experiences happiness. When he writes that "her pair of pet lambs come to graze near the shade of our garden", he is describing how much pride and joy the villager has to be connected in some way to Ranjana.

Tagore also uses the symbolism to explain how these two people inhabit the same city, and how that proximity fuels the love of the villager for the girl. "The stars that smile on their cottage send us the same twinkling look." This exemplifies how both individuals are proximate to each other, the stars are looking at them at the same time because they live in the same village.
