Answer:

A). A group of railroad workers set off dynamite on a cliff that isn't in their path.

Explanation:

Joseph Conrad's popular work 'Heart Of Darkness' primarily deals with the issues of colonialism and its absurd and evil aspects. Conrad primarily aims to reveal the inner darkness of the colonizers and their exploitation of the resources(human and natural) of Africans in the name of civilizing them.

As per the question, option A i.e. 'A group of railroad workers set off dynamite on a cliff that isn't in their path' display the example of ineffectiveness of the colonialist activities in Africa as witnessed by Marlow. This reveals the primitive and grotesque character of the Africans. However, the chief aim is to highlight the inner void and darkness(the failure) of the colonizers who were looting Africa in the name of civilizing them. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

1. What IS the revelation of The Scarlet Letter? How do you interpret it? 2. How has it changed throughout the course of the nov
algol [13]

Answer:

The Scarlet Letter is written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850.

Explanation:

1. The <em>Revelation of The Scarlet Letter</em> in the "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is Dimmesdale reveals at the scaffold his sin. he confesses before the crowd what he should have revealed seven years before, that he is the father of Pearl. And that he deserves punishment.

My interpretation to this is that though Dimmesdale correctly confessed his sin, which he should have done earlier, but the punishment he chose for himself was not right. God is a merciful God, if he had confessed his sin, God would have definitely forgiven him. Just like God forgave King David. But the condition is of course not to repeat after repenting.

2. The symbolism of Scarlet Letter "A" changed over the course of the novel. At first it represented for Adulteress, then it changed to "Able.

3. The final stand on scaffold is vital as it reveals that Dimmesdale was the  one, the fellow-sinner of Hester.

4. Pearl is changed into a woman after she kisses Dimmesdale.

5. The townspeople interpret this by saying that not only Hester but a minister can fall victim of sin.

6. Chillingworth dies <em>"withered up, shrivelled away and almost vanished from mortal sight.."</em>

Find and describe at least three different cultural examples of communication that is considered polite
Oxana [17]
Japan

When dealing with Japanese clients, be sure to dress fairly conservatively, and make sure that you bow lower than they do upon meeting them. Accept gifts with both hands (and open them later, not in front of the giver), and never blow your nose at the dining table. Avoid asking and answering direct questions: it’s better to imply rather than ask, and to answer with vagueness during conversations.

Mexico

When meeting others, women should initiate handshakes with men, but all people should avoid making too much eye contact; that can be seen as aggressive and belligerent behavior. If sharing a meal with others, keep your elbows off the table and try to avoid burping at all costs. Keep your hands off your hips, and make sure you never make the “okay” sign with your hand: it’s vulgar.

Germany

Much like Scandinavian people, Germans tend to be reserved and polite. Ensure that handshakes are firm, and always address people with Mr. or Mrs. followed by their surname (“Herr” or “Frau” if you’re confident that you’ll pronounce them well). Decent table manners are of great importance, and be sure to say “please” and “thank you” often.

Hope this helps.

NARA [144]
The correct answer to this question is letter ". C) The comma attempts to separate a compound predicate." 

The first part of the sentence is the predicate, so it's not trying to separate a subject.
"Then skylights that were made of aluminum siding" isn't a sentence, so it's not an independent clause."
