Oh, Land of the sun! I dream of seeing you, now that I find myself so far from you, shopping in a foreign supermarket. Everythin

g is so coldly organized, sterile, functional that I am horrified. I ask myself what the hidden reason is behind this system of shopping. It seems that presenting food products in this manner has the objective of numbing our will and happiness. Upon seeing carrots, corn, lettuce, even cilantro, disguised to appear real even though they’ve been frozen for months, one feels that it’s all part of a big set for an American movie. It’s as if we are part of a huge superproduction in which we act as if we are choosing, buying, and eating these foods, but everything is simulated. In Mexico I am accustomed to going to the market every day, chatting with the merchants, tasting bites of fruit (real fruit) at each stand, running into my neighbors and talking to them among the magical smells and colors that are found only there. I am, essentially, accustomed to life.

Answer:

...a big set for an American movie.

Explanation:

The statement above is related on how meals and vegetables/fruits are packed in the supermarkets. Also in Brazil I used to go to an open free market every Sunday where I can feel myself next to the Nature, taste the fruits and choose each carrot, potato or lettuce. It´s like an old fashion life style.

Which statement best explains how Srimati develops the theme
Goshia [24]

Answer

Srimati’s beauty attracts the attention of a wealthy man. Without someone to protect her, she gives in to temptation and deserts her home and son.

Explanation:

In "The Poison Tree," the author develops the theme that beauty without morality is dangerous. In this story, we see that Srimati is a very beautiful woman, and this leads her to attract the attention of a wealthy man. She has no one to protect her, which means that she ends up giving in to temptation. This, moreover, leads her to abandon the house of Surja's father and her son Tara Charan.
