English
1 answer:
tia_tia [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. Bashir is significantly older than the man.

Explanation:

The short story "The Happy Man" by Naguib Mahfouz tells the story of the protagonist who woke up with a great sense of happiness from which source, he had no idea about. The story dwells on the 'general' happiness of man, and how happiness can be the way to being human again, despite the many stressful patterns of life.

The writer of the story addresses Am Beshir as <em>"uncle"</em> to show that Bashir is significantly older than his master, the protagonist. He was serving the man, who he kept on addressing as <em>"my master"</em>. This shows that the man who is serving the protagonist is in no relation with the master, and he is the servant of the master, even though he may be younger or even older than him. The use of the quotation mark in the word "uncle" to address the servant shows or signifies that the servant is significantly older than the man.

Which sentences in this excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Contest" show Policles's lack of knowledge about the rules and re
Minchanka [31]


1. To Policles, it seemed that Metas was having less than his due, so he applauded loudly, and he was surprised to observe that the soldiers frowned at him, and that all his neighbors regarded him with some surprise. (Apparently, it is not common for the audience to show their appreciation in such an overt manner).

2. Standing upon his bench and waving hands and unpraised voice, he protested with all the strength of his lungs against the mad judgement of the audience. (This act is an apparent favorite of the audience but Policles can't stand it.)
