Answer:
D.Cather is critical of Chopin’s choice of themes.
Explanation:
Upon releasing her novel "The Awakening", in the end of 19th century, Kate Chopin was heavily criticized.
One of those critics was Willa Cather. She openly compared the protagonist of the novel, Edna, to Flaubert's Madame Bovary, in order to express unnecessary repetition of themes in Chopin's novel ("There was, indeed, no need that a second “Madame Bovary” should be written, but an author’s choice of themes is frequently as inexplicable as his choice of a wife").
However, besides criticizing choice of themes, Cather praises Chopin's writing style ("I shall not attempt to say why Miss Chopin has devoted so exquisite and sensitive, well-governed a style to so trite and sordid a theme").
Answer:
(a) Florida belongs to the Spanish.
Explanation:
Elisa Carbone's novel "Blood on the River" revolves around the story of a British teenager and his journey to James Town in America. The novel follows Samuel Collier and his journey by sea, going to the new settlement of Jamestown in America, which the British had conquered/ colonized.
Samuel was one of the many passengers on <em>"The Susan Constant"</em> making its way to America. Though he was a page of the ship's captain, Captain John Smith, Samuel also wanted to explore and go to the New World, that is America. But as they traveled along, the ship doesn't dock in Florida as the place was under the Spanish. And at that time, the Spanish and the British were all fighting to get more land colonized for their respective kings or empires.
Thus, the correct answer is option a.
