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.

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.

Read the sentence, and then answer the question.
mestny [16]

To solve this question, we can figure out what each of the words mean (specifically) and then put them into the blank and see which one fits best.


Burning is normally regarding a fire, one very hot and bright.


Sultry means that the air is hot and humid.


Blazing means burn fiercely or brightly.


Thermogenic means tending to produce heat, and it is commonly referring to drugs.


The best word that fits is sultry, so we know that the answer is B, sultry.

Read the following excerpt from Act I, Scene 2 and answer the question.
ipn [44]

Answer:

Romeo was in a melancholy mood when he came to the Capulet's home for a feast and this is because of the fair Rosaline who he fancies himself to be in love with. Coming to the Capulet's home despite the enmity between his family and theirs is a risk on its own, getting to meet Juliet and falling in love with her is the greatest risk to him.

If he didn't go for the feast he wouldn't have met Juliet and the tragedy would have been averted but fate has other plans for the two star crossed lovers.

He came to the feast for Rosaline but left with Juliet in his thoughts.
