Rukmani's life is filled with struggle, yet she remains resolutely optimistic about her future. Married off to a poor rice farmer at the age of 12, Rukmani struggles through loneliness, infertility, starvation, and great loss with persevering optimism. The novel's title, Nectar in a Sieve, refers to nectar, a sweet liquid, and a sieve, a device with meshes that allows liquid to pass through while trapping solids in the device. The title suggests Rukmani's ability to appreciate the short, sweet moments in life before they disappear. During the Deepavali celebration in Chapter 10, for example, Rukmani's family struggles to eat, yet she doles out precious pennies for the children to buy fireworks because "it is only once ... a memory." Similarly, at the end of the novel when she and Nathan have been saving to return to the village, she feels overcome with happiness while at the market with Puli. She buys fried pancakes instead of plain rice cakes and wooden toys for the children: "Well, if we are extravagant it is only once." No matter what suffering comes Rukmani's way, she maintains optimism that life can only get better. She tells Kenny, "Want is our companion from birth to death." Rather than wallow in what's lacking, Rukmani always chooses to look ahead: to the next meal, the next year, or the next harvest.
Answer:
Medici's - Medicis
Explanation:
The given sentence contains a punctuation error in its subject i.e. The Medici's. Here the use of the apostrophe(') before 's' shows possession which is grammatically incorrect as it doesn't display any ownership and it is immediately followed by the non-restrictive clause that offers detail about it. Therefore, as per the context and meaning of the sentence, the apostrophe must be removed to give the noun its complete meaning and make the sentence semantically appropriate and lexically coherent. Thus, 'Medici's' would be converted to 'Medicis.'
