Answer:

D). To tell the story of how a child was made into a soldier.

Explanation:

The author's purpose is described as the chief reason or the intent for which the author has produced a specific work. It could be to amuse, inform, entertain, or merely share a significant incident.

In 'A Long Way Gone', Beah's purpose is to 'relate a story of a child transforming into a soldier' and the 'long way'(as implied by the title) that the child has gone through to become a soldier. Beah's intention is to portray the challenges and struggle faced by the child to reach the position of a 'soldier'. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

In their arguments, the writers of both declarations agree that the existing government.

A. has gotten its power from the people whom it governs

Explanation:

Power comes from the people to the state, which in turn, exercises the power on behalf of the people.  This is the basis for all forms of democratic governments and expressions.  Without the people entrusting their powers to the state, the state lacks powers of its own.  Therefore, there must be accountability for the use of the entrusted powers, otherwise a state of anarchy will prevail.

So by day she’d weave at her great and growing web— by night, by the light of torches set beside her, she would unravel all she’
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The "web" that is mentioned in the passage refers to the burial shroud woven by Penelope as a way of delaying her need to chose a new husband among the many suitors.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey" tells the story of how Odysseus had been gone from his home for about two decades. His wife had been pestered continuously by the men in the kingdom of Ithaca to remarry and make a new king, for her husband Odysseus had been gone for a long time.

But the cunning Penelope made a plea that she be allowed to weave a burial shroud for her father in law Leartes, who's grown old. She agreed to marry one of the suitors when she finished the shroud. But through cunning and bravery, she would weave the shroud during the day but undo it at night so that the weaving cannot be ever finished until she is sure that Odysseus is back or confirmed dead. This is the web that the passage from Book II mentions, the web being the shroud that she had been weaving as an excuse to not remarry.
