Answer:

(C) It unfolds in a few brief scenes that show readers why the merchant’s wife continues to believe in their son’s capacity to learn and grow.

Explanation:

"All for a Paisa" is a riddle presented in a folklore story with slightly varied versions in different regions and societies.

"Paisa" in the Indian sub-continent means hundredth part of a rupee. It is somewhat like to penny, hence very small/negligible amount of money.

A summary of one of the versions of the story is as follows;

A merchant is unwilling to marry his son because he does not believe in the intelligence and abilities of his son. His wife however speaks favorably about their son, and succeeds in getting a chance for his son from his husband. The merchant in order to test his son's intelligence and capacity to learn gives him one paisa to and asks for buying with this something to eat, something to drink, something to chew, something to plant in a garden, and something as food for the cow. The son by the advice of iron-smith's daughter buys a watermelon which fulfills all the requirements. His father is impressed even after knowing the truth about iron-smith daughter's helping his son. He arranges his son's marriage with that girl.

Option C is correct because the story has few brief scenes.

Option A is incorrect because son's mother thinks very positive about his son's abilities.

Option B is incorrect because the story is not one extended description of just merchant's views.

Option D is incorrect because although merchant's son has average intelligence, but his willingness to go and buy such a thing and his unhappy expression are a sign that he is willing and able to learn.

Why is Malcolm X willing to use violence unlike Martin Luther King Jr.?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Malcolm X was a radical black power leader whose prominent role in the Nation of Islam was highly controversial. He justified the use of power to liberate blacks from their second-class status because of the historical failure of peaceful attempts previously.

He was raised in a neighborhood and a climate of violence; he saw less issue with taking it up in the name of a rightful cause. And this is definitely arguable, although personally I think he was in the right as well. MLK Jr had a bigger perspective, and Malcolm X could only remember the past and think back to its failures: think about Booker T's Atlanta Compromise in comparison with WEB DuBois.

In the story NIGHT by Elie Wiesel:
saw5 [17]

In looking at the story, “Night,” by Elie Wiesel, we see that it is a story about a male Jewish teenager who experiences the Holocaust.  During his experiences, we see that his faith is affected in two different ways.  Initially, the events he sees strengthens his faith because religion is comforting during his earlier experiences.  Later on, his experiences because of all the atrocities he has seen, he begins to lose his faith.  When writing an essay on how Eliezer’s experiences have affected his faith, you could talk about, both, how his experiences were positively and negatively affected.  This would give you an essay of four paragraphs.  Paragraph 1 would be your introduction where you set up your paper and include a thesis statement and mention something similar to “Eliezer was certainly a Jewish man of faith; however, his experiences within the Holocaust caused his faith to be both positively and negatively affected.”  What this tells readers is that Paragraph 2 will be about the positive effects on his faith (where you’ll provide examples from the story).  Then, Paragraph 3 will be about the negative effects (where you’ll, too, provide examples from the text.  Lastly, you’ll provide your conclusion in Paragraph 4 where you’ll provide some final insights and reiterate your thesis statement (restating it but using different words).
