Read "The Postmaster", by Tagore.
The story is about a postmaster who is trying to adapt to the new life in the village of Ulapur. In what way is the postmaster's life different from his life in urban Calcutta?
A. The postmaster disliked the people working in the indigo factory in the small village.
B. The postmaster finds it difficult to associate himself with the simple life and folk in the remote village of Ulapur.
C. The postmaster was too proud to adjust his life to the small village of Ulapur.
D. The postmaster did not like the green, slimy pond and dense growth near his office and living room.
Answer: B. The postmaster finds it difficult to associate himself with the simple life and folk in the remote village of Ulapur.
Explanation:
The postmaster seems to feel extremely out of place in Ulapur because he considers himself to belong to Calcutta. He also feels too sophisticated compared to the simple villagers and maybe too arrogant to the ones he wanted as friends. Furthermore, there´s not much to do in his new location. So he doesn´t have much company or activities to do.
I think it's B is the answer

Answer:
Thoreau's usage of several rhetorical questions upon one another helps eloquently establish a rhythm to present similar, but different argumentative key points. Moreover, it gives a rhythm to the text right off the start. Ultimately, it enables him to set up his argument against morals and values that he claims are being controlled by the government, and as well setting an argument for individualism.
Explanation:
The author does not make many direct statements; however, he does use the device of rhetorical questions that are meant to not be answered by neither the reader nor the text.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
In 1854, Sen. Stephen Douglas forced the Kansas-Nebraska Act through Congress. The bill, which repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, also opened up a good portion of the Midwest to the possible expansion of slavery.
Douglas' political rival, former Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln, was enraged by the bill. He scheduled three public speeches in the fall of 1854, in response. The longest of those speeches — known as the Peoria Speech — took three hours to deliver. In it, Lincoln aired his grievances over Douglas' bill and outlined his moral, economic, political and legal arguments against slavery.
But like many Americans, Lincoln was unsure what to do once slavery ended.
"Lincoln said during the Civil War that he had always seen slavery as unjust. He said he couldn't remember when he didn't think that way — and there's no reason to doubt the accuracy or sincerity of that statement," explains historian Eric Foner. "The problem arises with the next question: What do you do with slavery, given that it's unjust? Lincoln took a very long time to try to figure out exactly what steps ought to be taken."
