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.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

pleasant memories can calm a person during stressful times

Explanation:

Nadia's stage fright is written by Clark Benson. Nadia is practising one song over and over to perform and give her best in the Talent Show. Her partner during practising time is her pet Lucky who sits beside Nadia on the floor.

<u>When Nadia was frightful in the 7th stanza, she calmed herself by remembering pleasant memories with Lucky. This shows that frightful or stressful emotions can be overcome by recalling pleasant memories</u>.

And this also suggests the theme of the story that pleasant memories have the power to calm a person when he/she is stressful.

So, the correct answer is the last option.
