Answer:

2) To present an interpretation.

The author of the passage is providing an interpretation of the book in this sentence. He is arguing that the novel is affirmative and hopeful, and that it stresses the power of humans to reach for greatness and inspire others. This is never explicitly stated in the novel. Therefore, the argument is based on his subjective views and analysis.

4) He also suffers a painful loss.

This revision is the best one for sentence 4. It gives the reader the same idea as the other options. However, it is written more clearly and in an active voice.

Yellow Wallpaper
ira [324]

Answer:

It made it seem like a horror story at first, with some haunted house that makes their lives miserable but it went in another way as it would've seen, it being first person story, narrator tells us about her husband, John that brought her to this house for the summer. She describes the house in many different ways for example as “a mansion, a huge fancy place, I would say a haunted house.”, it looked like it'd been abandoned of some sort, then the narrator tells us about her illnesses where she can't do much, writing is one of them, John being a doctor took good care of her, even though he has many cases he supports best he can. So the narrator also suffers from her marriage apart from the illness that she has. She describes the house a lot and soon she describes to us her bedroom walls, the bars in her window and especially the yellow wallpaper. She sees many things wrong with the wallpaper and she describes it as strange formless patterns. She also talks about how it changes light colors in the day and then at night is different. She becomes obsess on finding out whats behind that wallpaper and she wants no one around to take a look because she wants to figure it out herself. She finally comes the conclusion that she discovered that the pattern does move and that there is a woman that shakes it. She says that she feels sometimes that there are great many women behind and that there are sometimes that there is just one, that she crawls around fast. At the end she becomes very insane and tells John that she is finally out of the wallpaper and that in fact she was that woman trapped inside the paper and that he can’t put her back inside.

in the context of the conversation between nawab and harouni, nawab’s comments in lines 35–42 (""sir, as you know, your lands st
Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is :

Nawab is attempting to increase awareness about the work and service he has rendered over the years for his master Harouni. The only person available to maintain the tube wells on all of Harouni's extensive lands is Nawab, who says at one point that "there is but one guy, me, your servant". D inform Harouni that Nawab plans to leave his position maintaining the tube wells. Incorrect. trap response "Release me, I ask you, I beg you," first gives the impression that Nawab wants to leave.

Nawab is actually asking to be relieved of his tasks or obligations as a tactic or strategy to negotiate for a new motorcycle, but he never has plans or thoughts of abandoning his job, according to how attentively we read this line and properly consider the situation and context.
