Question: What does the author mean when he says "One of the fields of ashes in Birkenau carries more weight than all the testimonies about Birkenau"?  

<em>Options:</em>

  • A) The significance of the lost lives in the camps far outweighs the stories of those who survived.
  • B) The ashes are physically heavier than the books in which the testimonies were written.  
  • C) The Nazis did not truthfully testify about what really went on in the various camps.
  • D) Birkenau was the worst of all the Nazi concentration and extermination camps.

Answer: The correct answer is: <u>A) The significance of the lost lives in the camps far outweighs the stories of those who survived. </u>

Explanation: Eli Wiesel was an American Jewish writer, professor and Holocaust survivor. One of his most famous books is <em>Night</em>, where he wrote about his experiences and gave his historic testimony as a prisoner in the Auschwitz concentration camps.

Auschwitz is three large sites: Auschwitz I, where Polish inmates were quickly worked to death; Auschwitz-Birkenau, which held four gas chambers and four crematoria; and Auschwitz III-Monowitz-Buna, focused on slave labor. Wiesel was in all three but he mentions that Auschwitz-Birkenau was the worst.

In his book <em>Night</em>, he wrote the following: "One of the fields of ashes in Birkenau carries more weight than all the testimonies about Birkenau". This helps us understand that the significance of the lost lives in the camps far outweighs the stories of those who actually survived because more than 1.1 million Jews and about two hundred thousand Poles, gypsies, homosexuals and others died in Auschwitz-Birkenau between 1940 and 1945.

Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest. Gwendolen. [To Jack.] Darling! Algernon. [To Cecily.] Darling! [They fall
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

In contrast to reading the scene, seeing the staged version of the scene would improve its aesthetic impact by allowing the audience to <em><u>watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.</u></em>

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's comedy play "The Importance of Being Ernest" revolves around the character of John Worthing and Algernon and the issue of class. The other themes in the play include marriage, social expectations, the ridiculousness or triviality of things deemed important, etc.

In the given excerpt from the play, we can see the scene where the two couples were 'showing affection' to their respective loves but then came Merriman and Lady Bracknell. It was then that the couples had to hurriedly stop their "public display of affection". And <em><u>in contrast to reading this scene, a staged or performed version would improve the aesthetic impact as it will allow the audience to see how the actors/ characters react, adding to the humor of the whole scene.</u></em>

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
