Chiba had never wanted anything more than to go back home. His son, now three, was beginning to ask questions. "Idua, there is n

o place like Abuja," Chiba said. He stroked his boy's hair, as he added, "I'm telling you!"
"Papa, is your yellow house still there? And the big river by the park? And the million trees?" Idua asked as the plane landed on the runway.
"We'll see. I haven't been home in years—not since I moved to Atlanta and met your mother," Chiba said, unable to contain his nostalgia and excitement.
The father and son were now outside the airport and roaming the city in a cab. Chiba looked outside the window trying to find the traces of his old city. The sky was punctuated by bridges, flyovers, and skyscrapers. As he passed the city gate, he saw more fast-food chains and tall office buildings than trees.
"This looks like Atlanta!" Idua made his disappointment clear. And he asked his father the same question again and again, "Papa, where's the yellow house, and the big river, and the million trees?"
A theme of this selection is
A. children should retain their innocence.
B. one may not feel at home with his or her family.
C. modernization is not always a good thing.
D. what a person sees may or may not be real.

1. Nothing can be left in the past.

Explanation:

Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" is a science fiction story set in the year 2055. It revolves around the story of a man going back into the past to enjoy hunting dinosaurs but ended up disturbing the past.

In the story, the character Eckles had hired a travel agency, "Time Safari Inc." to take him back to the age of dinosaurs so that he can go on a hunting expedition. While there, they began shooting the dinosaurs but were asked to retrieve the bullets as they cannot leave anything behind. The tour guide, Travis explains, <em>"The bullets! The bullets can't be left behind. They don't belong in the Past; they might change anything."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is option 1.

Your state government is planning to stop the payment of registration fees for senior school certificate examination.write a let
frutty [35]

Answer:

Check the answer below

Explanation:

11, Olosan Street,

Alakia Road,

Ibadan,

Oyo State.

13th June, 2020.

The Governor,

Oyo State.

Dear sir,

LETTER OF ADVICE

I am writing this letter to you with a deep sense of appreciation and the acknowledgement of your good works to the good people of Oyo State. You're indeed the best Governor the State has ever had. A lot of students would have been out of school if not for your free education policy. All your good deeds are too numerous to be highlighted in a single letter.

However, it came to my notice that your administration is planning to stop paying for the registration of the Senior School Certificate Examination which I confirmed to be true. It is my duty as a citizen to advise you against this move. I will give you a few reasons to justify my point.

First, there are a lot of indigent students all over the State whose parents cannot afford three square meal in a day. The students fend for themselves and cannot afford to pay for the SSCE registration. If the government stops this payment, these young ones will lose all hope of going to school.

Moreover, Implementing policies that will make the young ones drop out of school will increase the crime rate in the state. If these students no longer go to school, they are liable to join different evil gangs which pose a lot of threats to our community.

Lastly, the future of any state or country lies in the education of the youths. Developed countries in the areas of technology, economy, and health got this breakthrough because they implemented policy that encourage mass education. Our state will lose all hope of development if this planned antipeople policy is implemented.

Finally, I implore you to reconsider this plan and continue this good gesture not minding the present economic realities.

Yours faithfully,

Kolade Oyesetan.
