What can you infer about the identity of the “white speck whose sound has disturbed Old Musoni’s work?

English
1 answer:
Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Impotent
mafiozo [28]

Loren, the new manager, is the <u><em>antithesis</em></u> of compassion; just yesterday, she fired two people because they were late to work once this week. Corporate headquarters, upset with declining sales, appointed Loren to replace a[n] <u><em>impotent</em></u>  manager who had been spotted on the golf course during work hours one-too-many times. Loren's many changes and <u><em>emendation(s)</em></u><em> </em>to company guidelines caused a[n] <u><em>maelstrom</em></u> in both the warehouse and the salesroom. Employees faced evaluations and new instructions that drove many to resign; however, it was part of Loren's plan. The people who quit, she reasoned, were just <u><em>impediment</em></u>  to meeting the expected monthly profit margin. Loren spent the first two weeks familiarizing herself with the <u><em>labyrinth</em></u> of shelves and palettes in the warehouse. Shreds of textiles littered parts of the packaging area; some were hefty snippets of wool, and others were <u><em>diaphanous</em></u> scraps of silk that hovered in the gust created by passing forklifts. She occasionally stopped to introduce herself to the workers, but she ceased her introductions after noticing the regular look of <u><em>chagrin</em></u> on workers' faces as they scrambled to look busy or stumbled over the proper responses to her questions. After the first round of resignations-and, firings, most of the workers were intimidated by Loren's <u><em>bestial</em></u> management techniques.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!

Which action best illustrates how the media can influence public opinion in the United States
docker41 [41]

Answer:

{In Explanation}

Explanation:

The broadcast media influences public opinion in the US by being  biased, not reporting all of the news but only reporting what they  want the public to know, and by reporting false news.  The entertainment media influences public opinion because too many  people believe that what they see on television or in the movies is  real.
