Answer:

This allusion supports the search for freedom and the difficult world of runaway slaves.

Explanation:

Oh Susanna is a popular song part of the minstrel tradition in which African Americans were made fun of and depicted as simple and ignorant. The original song has a verse in which the protagonist talks about killing black men along the way during the Gold Rush. This verse and other racist remarks of the original text have been taken out over the years. The use of this allusion in the poem Runagate Runagate by Hayden, expresses the urge to find freedom, even if it meant struggles, hardship or even death. It is, at the end, an allusion that reminds the reader of the will and the defiance needed to run away.

Read the paragraph from Gayle's story.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1. After an hour, they turned down a dirt road that led into a forest.

Explanation:

Putting or narrating a story in order means that the story will be narrated in such a way that the events are told in a sequence, in the pattern of how they occur. This means that the narration will start from the beginning and then eventually move on to the next event, without fluctuating from a past event to a future one and so on.

In the given story, Gayle's narration of the events leading to their fishing trip has been told in order, step-by-step process. And in between the sentences, if Gayle includes sentence 1, then the order or sequence will ensure that the narration is still in the order of what happens.

So, the correct answer is option 1.
