Read the excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects. The slit drum began its life in Central Africa, in the region where

Sudan and the Congo share a frontier, and it would have been part of the court orchestra of a powerful chief... The flanks of the drum have been carved to different thicknesses, so that a skilled drummer with a traditional drumstick can produce at least two tones and as many as four distinct pitches. How would adding an audio version of what a slit drum sounds like enhance the listener's experience of this part of the text?
A. It would signal to the listener that more important ideas about the slit drum’s history would be coming in the next section.
B. It would emphasize to the listener how different drums and other musical instruments sounded like in the past.
C. It would make the listener more able to feel the same emotions as the people who had heard the drums in the past.
D. It would make it easier for the listener to duplicate the sounds the drums made on his or her own musical instruments.

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the B) It would emphasize to the listener how different drums and other musical instruments sounded like in the past.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that option D should be discarded, since it is clearly irrelevant, particularly because the slit drum from Central Africa cannot be compared to a modern musical instrument, and the goal is not to help the listener replicate the sound, but experience it. In addition, option A can also be discarded, since an audio version should enhance the listener's experience while he or she is in front of the object, not announce what he or she will experience next. Finally, since the excerpt does not mention anything about the emotions that people in the past —the powerful chief and his retinue—felt while listening to the drums, I believe that the audio version is not primarily meant to elicit the same emotions in the listener. The audio version would, therefore, stress how different musical instruments sounded like in the past, since the label is specifically describing how the design of the drum had the potential to produce various tones and pitches.

3. Key Ideas and Details: How does the author connect his statement that America
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer and Explanation:

The author shows how American companies have a strong influence on the economy of Singapore, as in other countries and that because of this influence, the American government can impose that not only Singapore, but that all countries have better attitudes, otherwise these companies can be withdrawn from these countries, which would cause certain economic problems.

In other words, the author states that the USA cannot impose American values in foreign territories, but it can cause these values to be met using the influence it has economically in those territories, through the list of American companies that the foreign country has.

Why does Gitl wake up Hannah in the middle of the night? Explain
lisov135 [29]

<u>Here's what I found hope it helps: </u>

Gitl informs Hannah that there is a plan. She does not go into detail, nor does she tell Hannah what the plan is or when it will take place. Hannah only knows that she will be involved somehow. Gitl refuses to tell Hannah out of concern that Hannah may inadvertently discuss it and be overheard. Hannah asks Gitl again and again over the next days, but Gitl tells her nothing.

The days pass in this fashion. Each evening the smoke rises from the stacks. The prisoners are glad that as long as someone else is being "processed," they themselves will not be.

<em>One night Hannah is awoken by Gitl, who tells her that it is time. She descends from her bunk. Gitl hands her a pair of shoes in the dark. The door to the barracks is unlocked. Gitl tells Hannah that some guards can be bribed. Hannah asks if Fayge is coming too. Gitl tells her that Fayge has decided to stay, preferring the dark wolf she knows to the dark one she does not.</em>
