Answer:

The correct answer is B. Pluto was formally downgraded from planet to dwarf planet after a vote by the International Astronomical Union.

Explanation:

Pluto was discovered on February 18, 1930 by American astronomer Clyde William Tombaugh from the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, and was considered the ninth and smallest planet in the solar system by the International Astronomical Union and public opinion since then until 2006, although its membership in the group of planets in the solar system was always the subject of controversy among astronomers.

After an intense debate, and with the proposal of Uruguayan astronomers Julio Angel Fernandez and Gonzalo Tancredi before the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Prague, Czech Republic, it was unanimously decided to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, requiring that a planet must have orbital dominance. Since September 7, 2006, it has the number 134340, granted by the Center for Minor Planets.

Identify two situations where Rukmani refers to the gods and goddesses throughout the novel. What do these situations reveal abo
Digiron [165]

The central theme of Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in Sieve is the religion. Religion is presented from secular point of view amidst in all the tragic consequences family faces and in all the moral and physical pains they suffer from. Therefore, it is rather paradoxical to find that the religion has been used from positive aspect. The use of theme amidst the tragic events shows author's cynic approach towards religion. For example, when Rukmani visits her mother, the author narrates her thoughts as:

"...and together we would pray and pray before deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven..."

Later in the novel, Rukmani describes Gods as not remote, not unheedful because they heard her son Kuti's cries and made her calm. However, it is not the praise of Gods because she later learns that Kuti's improvement was due to Ira's earning from prostitution.
