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.

Which excerpt from “Seventh Grade” shows a moment when Mr. Bueller acts in a way that is different from what Victor expects? Mr.
qaws [65]

Answer:

Mr. Bueller shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work.

Explanation:

Gary Sato's short story "Seventh Grade" is set in a school with the main protagonist Victor wanting to impress a girl named Teresa. In a typical story of a boy trying to impress a girl, Victor's emotional dilemma is something that resonates with all young people too.

Victor had pretended to know and be good in French just so that he can impress another student named Teresa and maybe even form a friendship/ relationship with her. So, while in the French class, he over-confidently responded to the teacher's questions. This made him seem like he is good in French. But in truth, he wasn't really knowledgeable about the language and that he had taken it just to be near her. So, when the teacher, Mr. Bueller knew the mistake, Victor was scared that he might tell everyone in the class and he'd be left embarrassed. But contrary to his thought, Mr. Bueller only <em>"shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work."</em> <u>This shows the French language teacher ignoring the reality and instead acted in a supportive way for Victor, something that Victor didn't expect. </u>
