The correct answer is A. It is the name of her sister.

Explanation:

In "Everyday Use" by the American writer Alice Walker the narrator is an Afro-American woman (Mama) who has two daughters: Maggie and Dee. During the story, as Dee is visiting her mother and sister she claims she does not want to be called "Dee" but instead she wants to be called "Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo" as she believes "Dee" is a name inherited from previous slavers and her new name with an African origin is more appropriate; however, her mother explains to her, she was named after her aunt Dee and thus, the name Dee is important to the narrator because this was the name of her sister and the reason she called in that way one of her daughters.

Is “After the election is over, I will call you with results, and hopefully, our candidate will have won.” a complex or compound
Lorico [155]

Answer:

A compound-complex sentence

Explanation:

A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of an independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

A compound-complex sentence is a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause.

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence, which means that it must contain a subject and a predicate and express a complete thought.

A dependent clause can contain a subject and a predicate but does not express a complete thought, which is why it can't stand alone as a sentence.

There are two independent clauses in the given sentence:

  • I will call you with results.
  • Our candidate will have won.

And there is one dependent clause:

  • After the election is over...

That is why this sentence is a compound-complex sentence.

The passage from"The Black Cat," by Edgar Allan Poe. Then
vivado [14]

Read this excerpt from “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe.

One night, returning home, much intoxicated, from one of my haunts about town, I fancied that the cat avoided my presence. I seized him; when, in his fright at my violence, he inflicted a slight wound upon my hand with his teeth.

How does the author use symbolism in this passage to develop a clear idea

of the narrator's character?

Answer:

From the passage, the symbolism of the black cat symbolises the soul of the narrator which is dark, destroyed and decaying.

The black cat is symbolic because of its meow which draws attention to the wall and also the sickening pleasure the narrator has because he thinks he has gotten away with what he has done.
