The correct answer among all the other choices is c. have been handed down through many generations. The speaker used the images in this sentence to most likely imply that the scales have been handed down through many generations. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

The correct answer would be option C: "have been handed down through many generations". The speaker gave many examples in the excerpt of how his grandfather's grandparents had used the Balek scales such as: "their grubby hands holding their little baskets of mushrooms", to show that the scales are a family relic and where passed down until they reached the speaker.

The speaker does not say or imply that the scales have never moved, nor that those that use them feel frightened or intimidated. He also never says anything that implies that the scales do not work, therefore options A, B and D are incorrect.

Write a letter to the chairman of national library to open a furnished library in your locality​
user100 [1]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

90 Aba Owerri Road,

Umungasi,

Aba,

Abia State,

Nigeria.

2nd November, 2020

The Chairman,

National Library Commission,

Federal Secretariat,

FCT.

Sir,

REQUEST FOR A FURNISHED LIBRARY IN ABA

It is with utmost expediency that I write to you to demand the opening of a state of the art library in Aba metropolis.

Aba is an ancient town in South Eastern Nigerian known for its zest for the acquisition of knowledge. Aba is home to three tertiary institutions of international repute. These institutions have contributed positively to local and international research.

Unfortunately, there is no public library that serves the residents of Aba metropolis. Aba residents have to travel to Owerri to access a furnished public library. This situation has a negative impact on the younger generation. It hinders the development of a reading culture among youths and teenagers.

Personally, I have been forced to undertake trips to nearby cities in order to access library services. This ought not to be so in the 21st century.

I call on you to use your good office to initiate the location of a well furnished public library in Aba metropolis.

Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.

Yours Faithfully,

Jude Chinonso Njoku
