Answer:

The "white speck whose sound ha[s] disturbed" Old Musoni's work is an airplane.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the short story "The Setting Sun and the Rolling World," the character Old Musoni is working on his land, tilling the soil. However, the sound of a "white speck" distracts him. He looks up and sees the white speck quickly disappearing over the rim of the sky. We can already assume it is something of great speed, which can also produce noise loud enough to be heard by the man and to distract him. As the story proceeds, the identity of the white speck is made even clearer when it is described as a "white metal bird." The white speck was an airplane, whose sound reached Old Musoni in time for him to see it disappearing over the horizon.

In great literature, no scene of violence exists for its own sake. Choose a work of literary merit that confronts the reader or
Wittaler [7]

Answer and Explanation:

There is a scene in "Hamlet" that presents a shocking moment of violence that shapes the rest of the story and presents an important point of the main character.

This scene occurs when Prince Hamlet, disgusted by the news that his marriage to his uncle, goes to his mother's room to find out about it. Arriving there, he and his mother start an intense discussion and it is at that moment that Shakespeare, finds a spy behind the curtains of the room. Thinking that he is his uncle, Hamlet stabs the spy who falls dead, revealing his identity, which, to everyone's surprise, was not Hamlet's uncle, but the father of the woman Hamlet loved.

This moment of violence, serves to shape the character of emotional lack of control that Hamlet presents, in addition to making him a character disliked by others, provoking Ophelia's madness and the distrust of Claudius, Hamlet's uncle and the villain of the story.

c. Abigail claims that Mary’s form is coming to her in the shape of an evil bird. 8

e. The girls repeat Mary’s words in an annoying chant. 9

g. Reverend Hale quits the court. 10

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's <em>The Crucible</em> is a play that revolves around the Salem witch trials of 1962 where young girls were accused of partaking with the devil. The play delved deep into the community of Salem where people were wrongfully accused of the black arts and sentenced to death.

Act 3 is in the courtroom where the case was heard before Judge Danforth. Francis and Giles burst into the courtroom with 'evidence' but ended up making things worse.

John Proctor had come with Mary when he learned that his wife Elizabeth who's being held imprisoned is pregnant.

Mary then decides to tell the truth but when Abigail and the other girls came to the room, they all accused Mary of acting on them.

Abigail claims that a cold wind is engulfing her, indirectly accusing Mary of the act.

Then John Proctor told the court about his adultery with Abigail, which his wife denies.

When Elizabeth is summoned and asked about the lechery, she denies, which John then told her he's confessed.

Then Abigail and the girls began to act like they see a black evil bird coming towards them, and repeat whatever Mary says.

All of it was too much for Rev. hale who decided to quit the courtroom.
