<u>Answer</u>:

Out of the following statements, the one which best reflects Mrs. Turner’s views is that she embraces her "white" features and rejects her "blackness." So, here the correct option is Option C.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Zora Neale Hurston’s novel “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” revolves around the main character Janie Crawford. How she grows from being a naïve, voiceless teenager to a woman who gets a hold of her life – is the plot of the story.

Mrs. Turner is another character in this novel. She is Janie’s friend and is of mixed heritage. She isn’t that beautiful but is very proud about her appearance as she thinks that is a factor that differentiates her from the black people. She is fond of Janie as she has Caucasian features but doesn’t like her to be engaged with Tea Cake, a black. She thinks both are not good for each other and insists Janie to be with her brother instead.

In “Disappointed” by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the story of an old man planting an orchard symbolizes ____.
Tom [10]

The story of the old man planting in the orchard symbolizes life.

<h3>Why is life symbolized in the orchard?</h3>
  • By reading the poem, we can see that the old man decides to plant in the orchard as a way to have good fruit.
  • He is very dedicated to the plantation and tries to do everything to make it successful.
  • However, bad weather conditions destroy everything he worked to achieve.
  • The old man is desolate, but he hears a lost voice asking him to start work again.

Just like the old man's orchard, we need to dedicate ourselves to our life, which will have good times and bad times, where we will have to start over and dedicate ourselves to our goals again.
