1)the method his soldiers used in 1937 to try to identify those who would be killed was cruelly unique. When confronting someone

in the lands along the border with Haiti, they would hold up a sprig of parsley and ask what it was. If the person responded by trilling the "r” in perejil ( Spanish for parsley), he would be free to go. Anyone who didn't trill the "r” was thought to be a Haitian Creole speaker—and was likely to be killed.
2)My father and mother were once again trapped in a police state. They laid low as best they could. Now that they had four young daughters, they could not take any chances. For a while, that spark which has almost cost my father his life and which he had lighted in my mother seemed to have burnt out. Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

Which statement does NOT accurately compare the two passages?

a
Each text describes the tributes and taxes that Trujillo demanded.
b
Each text describes how frightening it was to live under the dictatorship.
c
Each text presents different information on the same topic.
d
Each text presents different information from a different point of view.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The countryman in the Chinese tale showed an angry, hostile, and stingy attitude/emotion.

Explanation:

The countryman in the Chinese tale, 'The Wonderful Pear Tree", showed a very angry and hostile attitude towards the beggarly Priest that approached him for help. He was also very stingy because he refused to grant the poor man the request of just a pear from the many pears that he had in is barrow.

The Priest also taught him a hard lesson, when in an unexpected way, he distributed his pears to everyone in the crowd, only for the countryman to go back to his barrow and find that one of its handles was gone and along with all of his pears.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Athanasius thought of the gold as an opportunity to help people whereas John fled from the scene as if he was being chased by a monster thinking that taking gold out of somewhere was a sin.

Explanation:

   Athanasius wanted to take the gold as he saw no sin in helping the neighbor population with it but everything John felt was fear as soon as he saw the gold.

   John was a man of simple ethics and lifestyle and didn't want any complications to his life.

   Athanasius was a man of his own doings and always liked to think otherwise. He believed the bag of gold was a gift from an angel.

   John believed in changing things for people by on's hard work and determination.

   Both the brothers varied with different perspectives on life.
