5 0

Answer:

C). He is angry and disappointed with his son.

Explanation:

In reference to the Nigerian folktale 'The Tortoise with a Pretty Daughter', the chief reason for making the law regarding daughters by stating that 'any girl finer than fifty wives of the Prince shall be killed along with her parents' is that 'he is very angry and disappointed with his son' who did not like any of the fifty young wives offered to him by his father. In his wrath, he passed this law due to which the tortoise and his wife keep their daughter(who was very beautiful) hidden to guard her against this law. However, the prince falls in love with her later and gets married to her after a long battle with his father(due to the law passed by him). Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

PESHAWAR PAKISTAN,

Dear Sawera:

Hope you are also good there. I just wanted to discuss my experience of school with you. In this school, I am enjoying everything. My school began at 8:00 A.M. by morning assembly and some exercises. After that, we have a regular schedule of four periods and then lunch which is followed by the next four periods. In my school, we have Saturday off and we can go outside on Saturday from our school hostel. Our teachers do not scold or beat us if we by chance anyone forgets to complete the homework. Our teacher employes fun activities and virtual methods to teach us. I feel lucky that I got admission in this school. I would like to invite you to this school for your further studies.
Yours lovingly

2. What were two negative things that grew out of American<br> expectations during the 1950s?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1) With the men coming home at the end of World War II, the women were expected to return to their duties as housewives and caretakers. This led to many decades of gender inequality, the effects of it we are still seeing today.

2) With the beginnings of the Cold War on the horizon, many Americans began creating intense and fanatical virtues of nationalism and American pride that, over the years, has incorporated trends of outright racism, bigotry, and misogyny.
