English
1 answer:
Triss [41]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. His tendency to embellish

Explanation:

The narrator using "fearful, devastating scourge" had a tendency to paint his condition in a more acceptable than it was. To embellish simply refers to making some more attractive or acceptable than it is in reality.

We find this in "Three Men In A Boat". "Three Men In A Boat" was published in 1889. It was written by Jerome K. Jerome, an English writer. He gives a humorous account of a two-week boating trip with his friends, George and William Samuel Harris upon Thames River.

Kay [80]
Yes, the lady in Cullen's poem is a deeply prejudiced and ignorant person, who doesn't want to really get to know black people as they are. Those prejudices seem to be so deeply engraved in collective memory that black people are associated with slavery, menial jobs, and intellectual inferiority. Hurston argues that media have the power to solve this problem. Hurston writes: "It is assumed that all non-Anglo-Saxons are uncomplicated stereotypes. Everybody knows all about them. They are lay figures mounted in the museum where all may take them in at a glance. They are made of bent wires without insides at all. So how could anybody write a book about the non-existent?"

Similarly, in Cullen's short and poignant poem, the lady believes that even in heaven black people will be assigned the same kind of duty that they have on Earth, in her opinion. It's as if they aren't capable of doing anything else, nor are they entitled to anything else above that.

Why do they put a popcorn button on the microwave if the popcorn bag says not to use it
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Even the popcorn bags have a warning on them telling you not to. The popcorn setting on many microwaves has only a preset time and no humidity sensor, which means that the microwave can't tell when something's burning.
