Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe. In this excerpt, Nnaemeka is the first to speak, and Okek

e speaks after him.
"I can’t—we must—I mean it is impossible for me to marry Nweke’s daughter.”

"Impossible? Why?” asked his father.

"I don’t love her.”

"Nobody said you did. Why should you?” he asked.

"Marriage today is different . . .”

"Look here, my son,” interrupted his father, "nothing is different. What one looks for in a wife are a good character and a Christian background.”

Nnaemeka saw there was no hope along the present line of argument.

How could the characters’ differing views of arranged marriage be analyzed from a historical perspective and from a feminist perspective?

A historical perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the story is set. A feminist perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women.
A feminist perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the author wrote. A historical perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women.
A historical perspective would focus on how the story would be different if it were written by an author of a different gender. A feminist perspective would focus on how the characters interact.
A feminist perspective would focus on the biography of the author. A historical perspective would focus on the power dynamics between characters.

I actually put the right answer to a different question here.. the answer above is correct..

The correct answer is A.

Historical perspectives take a look at the story's historical culture. Therefore, a historical perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the story is set. A historical perspective would not focus on the impact on women, the gender of the author, or power dynamics between characters.

Feminist perspectives analyze how the events (or characters) impact the women in the story. Therefore, a feminist perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women. A feminist perspective would not focus on the culture as a whole (only its impact on women), and it would not focus on how the characters interact (although it would focus on how the characters impact women in the story). A feminist perspective would not focus on the author's biography at all.

For these reasons, the correct answer is the first one.

Doctors and lawyers use what kind of language?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Doctor and laywers use technical language.

Explanation:

We need to understand all of these terms. Scientific English is the language used by people who are in some of the connections to science. This means that this language is full of terms for biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, engineering.

Technical language is a language for someone who is an engineer, technician, software developer, architect or someone who works with computers and mathematics. It has specialized content.

This language is used by people who have a certain knowledge level. Doctors and lawyers use technical language to each in his work to explain or discuss the results of their work or to explain the causes or to describe what is important in their work.

I’m hoping someone can proof-read my essay. Thanks if you do. .-.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: These are just some simple adjustments I would do. Anything I add or want to say will be in bold or italics, tell me if I get some of them wrong.

I really really really hope this helps :))))

Explanation:

Dr. Peck states “problems call forth our courage and wisdom.” Our pain gets in the way of solving our problems. Dr. Peck is speaking the truth, without a doubt. We stall and and hope our problems will go away. Suppose I need to finish my math homework. I don't understand it, so instead I act as if it’s non-existent. Dr. Peck also states “...attempt to avoid problems.” <em>(btw, that is how you quote part of a sentence, you did it right)</em> Instead we must solve them and meet them head on.

Personally, I feel this work is not to avoid our problems, but to meet them head on with determination and courage. Many people should read this book because it helps with procrastinating.

After we discover and transcend that life is difficult, we can break free of our old habits. Our old habits wear us down like plaque on our teeth.

The work of this excerpt was, indeed, factual. It provided me with a toothbrush to brush the plaque off my teeth. A key to life was handed to me. The data facts and statistics add up fluently so that we can see it in plain sight. <em>(try to sum it up without using too many fillers, like the "key to life was handed to me". It makes you seem like you're stalling.)</em>

. Express the ratios in its simplest form (a) 15:12 (b) 42:18
dalvyx [7]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

To express the ratios in its simplest form, we've to find the common factor of the numbers given and them reduce them to their lowest term.

(a) 15:12

The common factor to 15 and 12 is 3. Therefore, we will divide the numbers given by 3. This will be:

15/12 = (15/3) / (12/3) = 5/4 = 5:4

(b) 42:18

The common factor to 42 and 18 is 6. Therefore, we will divide the numbers given by 6. This will be:

42/18 = (42/6) / (18/6) = 7/3 = 7:3

Find the value of "x" in the following 2:x :: 4:6​

This will be:

2/x = 4/6

Cross Multiply

4 × x = 2 × 6

4x = 12

Divide both side by 4.

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3
