I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.
<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.
"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant.
Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in. </span>
The answer is A because it is summarizing and telling what the pargraph is going to be about
Answer:
B. mainly
Explanation:
The repeated word in the first paragraph that is an intensifier and actually emphasizing the fact that the story of Huck Finn is more fiction than fact is mainly.
Intensifier is known to be a word that actually strengthens or weakens another word close to it in a sentence.
From the passage, we discover that the author repeated the word "mainly" and not just that but also repeated the sentence bearing the word "mainly".
Here it is:
<em>"...he told the truth, mainly" </em>(Line 4) and
<em>"mainly he told the truth" </em>(Line 5).
We can then infer that actually not everything in the book is the fact. As the author repeats the word, "mainly", he tends to reiterate that not everything in the story is true; there is something fictitious.
So, the correct answer is mainly.
