According to this excerpt from "Loneliness . . . an American Malady" by Carson McCullers, what paradox do people struggle with i

n life?
Consciousness of self is the first abstract problem that the human being solves. Indeed, it is this self-consciousness that removes us from lower animals. This primitive grasp of identity develops with constantly shifting emphasis through all our years. Perhaps maturity is simply the history of those mutations that reveal to the individual the relation between himself and the world in which he finds himself.

After the first establishment of identity there comes the imperative need to lose this new-found sense of separateness and to belong to something larger and more powerful than the weak, lonely self. The sense of moral isolation is intolerable to us.

1. Self-consciousness arises at an early age, but people continue to develop personality in later years.
2. Maturity can only be gained once people become more aware of their personal needs.
3. Even though other animals are unaware of self, humans and other animals still struggle with social conformity.
4. Gaining awareness of one’s “self” causes a person to yearn for companionship with others.

Answer:

4. Gaining awareness of one’s “self” causes a person to yearn for companionship with others.

Explanation:

<em>"Consciousness of self is the first abstract problem that the human being solves."</em>

Once the writers states this phrase he exemplifies that the very first problem that the human being faces is the discovering of one self,

<em>"but after this here comes the imperative need to lose this new-found sense of separateness and to belong to something larger"</em>

The individuality tries to become part of a group of the person tries to become part of the people, and seek for social acceptance and social caring.

Selecte correct text in the passage
timurjin [86]

Answer:

d) Mercedes is the only one at home, and she is too busy with her embroidery in Madam Hailer's room to come near you

Explanation:

a) “You are going to build a large house, Mr. Darrell?” said Victoriano, turning his horse so as to ride beside Clarence; “judging by the amount of lumber being hauled.”

b) “I understand, and I think my father will be willing to sell the land. He is at home now. Let us go up to see him.”

c) They have too much sense not to know that you would not be working in white kid gloves.

d) Mercedes is the only one at home, and she is too busy with her embroidery in Madam Hailer's room to come near you

Since Mercedes is depicted as being at home alone before having a love encounter, it is clear that the author has resorted to narration to communicate this information.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

I won't write your essay, but I'll give you some help with it.

Explanation:

Dialogue's role is for characters in the story to be able to communicate. The role in the main conflict can be a few different things. I've read books in where the people in the conflict yelled at each other. To be able to have characters yell, you need dialogue.

Hope this helps.
