Answer: C. Gideon’s position as a tribal medicine man dictates that he not betray the secret to outsiders.

Explanation:

In <em>“No Witchcraft for Sale”</em>, Lessing's short story, Gideon is the protagonist of the story. He is a Native African who works as a cook for the Farquars family.

In the story, the boy from the Farquars family almost goes blind when a snake spits venom in his eyes. Luckily for him, Gideon helps him with some herbs used by the native people. When doctors come into the Farquars house to investigate this event, Gideon refuses to reveal the medicine he used. As stated in the story itself,<em> "They all realized he would never give in."</em> The correct option is, therefore, C.

Choose the sentence that has a subject complement.

Paul [167]

A "subject complement" is a word or a group of words that appears in the PREDICATE part of the sentence BUT refers to or describes the SUBJECT. "B" is the correct answer, because "better" describes the subject "I," even though it appears AFTER the verb "felt," which means it is in the predicate part of the sentence. Hope this helps!!

Notes:

Hemingway was driving an ambulance in Italy not because he had been injured or because he was a doctor, but because he was assisting the Red Cross on the Italian front.

Hemingway first served in World War I and later lived in Paris. He also wrote A Farewell to Arms after the war and drew on his personal experiences to do so. Finally, he retired to Key West.

Hemingway's writing style was anything but commonplace or boring. In fact, it was the lack of wordiness and the creative succintless that made Hemingway's works so popular.

Deep "v" hulls operate best in what type of water conditions

Jlenok [28]

The correct answer here would be in rough waters.

This is a total opposite of the flat-bottom hulls and it really does excel in rough waters. It's all in the shape. It's "v" shaped acts as a sort of knife as it cuts through the waves which makes it a favorite shape for the offshore sportboats. They are though less suited for shallow water use.
