Answer:

A). The townspeople are resentful of the capital’s control over them.

Explanation:

The inference that can best be supported by the given passage would be 'the 'resentment of townspeople on the capital's control over them.' The detail which supports this inference is 'after all, he represents the end of all things, at least for us.' It connotes that the townspeople are trying to hide their dissatisfaction by considering that 'at least he represents them.' The descriptions 'without laying too much stress on his official position' and 'standing there as a wall on a delegate's request', 'hearing voices is a delusion' further substantiate the reason due to which townspeople are discontented over his control. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

What does this excerpt from "Arrangement in Black and White" suggest about the woman's behavior? Select all that apply.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

This answer is not full, the options are missing. They are as following:

A. She wants other people to see her.
B. She feels genuine admiration for the man.
C. She exaggerates her actions in order to prove a point.
D. She is more intent on pleasing herself than she is on pleasing the man.

The answers are A, C and D.

From the excerpt we can see the woman is exaggerating her movements and actions, which is most clearly seen in the last line "She spoke with great distinctness, moving her lips meticulously, as if in parlance with the deaf."

She is exaggerating her movement of the lips and accenting of the words in order to try to prove what she says and underline its importance, even to hide her real thoughts.

We also see she does this for her own enjoyment and exposure with the line "extended her hand at the length of her arm and held it so for all the world to see, until the Negro took it, shook it, and gave it back to her."

With this she is trying to draw attention to her pleasure, to the man taking her hand, to show how she is graceful and polite, and to better her social status.

The answer that would best complete the statement above would be the second option. An ode with a meditative tone that is intended by the writer to be read rather than sung is most likely WRITTEN IN THE ROMAN STYLE. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!
