Answer:
The correct answers are:
marked - considerable
unseared - pure, uncorrupted
Explanation:
The most interesting feature of my history here was my learning to read and write, under somewhat marked (considerable) disadvantages.
Words like these, I observed, always troubled them; and I had no small satisfaction in wringing from the boys, occasionally, that fresh and bitter condemnation of slavery, that springs from nature, unseared (pure, uncorrupted) and unperverted.
In his stories, Frederick Douglas tries to describe the cruelty of slavery and all the problems that the black people could face because of his/her skin color. In order to achieve that, he uses a strong and authentic vocabulary where some words can be replaced with other words that most closely match the denotation of the words.
In our excerpts, the word <em>marked</em> can be replaced with <em>considerable</em>, while the word <em>unseared</em> can be replaced with <em>pure</em> or <em>uncorrupted</em>.
Answer:
He is accepting of his grandson’s ignorance.
Explanation:
The poem "Birdfoot's Grampa" is written by Joseph Bruchac, who also incorporates his Native American heritage to his works. The poem is of three stanzas about one incident of when the speaker is traveling with his grandfather.
In the poem, the speaker reveals when a long drive with his <em>"old man"</em>. But he gets frustrated at the old man for stopping occasionally to <em>"gather into his hands the small toads blinded by our lights"</em>.The young boy's frustration did not seem to affect Grampa for he did what he wanted o do, telling his grandson <em>"they have places to go too"</em>. This statement only reveals that he is accepting of the young boy's ignorance and did not seem to get angry with his impatience.
I believe that the answer is D, I hope it helps!
