Read this excerpt from Mukherjee’s memoir and answer the question. Clark, who remained in Iowa City until our youngest son finis
hed high school, sent me newspaper accounts, and I turned them into stories. Indian friends in Atlanta took me to dinners and table gossip became stories. Suddenly, I had begun appropriating the American language. My stories were about the hurly-burly of the unsettled magma between two worlds. Using contextual clues, what implicit meaning is there in the line “Suddenly, I had begun appropriating the American language”? She started speaking English appropriately. She became a gossip and her husband helped her learn the language. From reading and listening, she was able to make use of the American language to turn true events into stories. Her use of the language set her apart from others.
The answer is that the person was slowly beginning to understand the English language. The context clues are that because the person was able to slowly turn newspaper accounts into stories, and was able to chat and gossip with her other friends. She was also "helped...by her husband."
I think that if people are well educated they tend to know better about the process, laws. Etc. Also, they can't be fooled very easily. Something along those lines.
The correct answer of the given question above would be the third option. Based on the lines from <span>Antigone by Sophocles: Scene 1, Ode 1</span>, the ancient Greeks value human dominion over nature. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
