Olin [163]

Answer:

It conveys the deep bond between the two and the delight they find in spending time together.

Explanation:

This excerpt is from Rabindranath Tagore's "The Cabuliwallah". The story centers around Mini, a five-year-old girl, and Cabuliwallah, a peddler from Cabul. Mini, at first frightened by a stranger, soon forms a deep and honest friendly bond with Cabuliwallah. The feeling is mutual, since the peddler sees in Mini his own daughter who is living in Cabul and who he only sees once a year, because of his job.

Although Mini's mother disapproves this friendship because of the unknown background of the peddler (obviously, he's a stranger), the two develop a deep and real connection, truly enjoying the moments they spend having fun together.

What are TWO purposes of subheadings?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

To organize the text and to make the text easier to read

We use subheadings to give readers a sense of what they are reading, not to make them think the work is legit, and not to introduce new information or point out important facts.  We want readers to know what is coming, and what they are going to read so we don't waste their time
