Read each of the excerpts from The Awakening. The youngsters came tumbling up the steps, the quadroon following at the respectfu

l distance which they required her to observe. Mrs. Pontellier made them carry her paints and things into the house. She sought to detain them for a little talk and some pleasantry. But they were greatly in earnest. They had only come to investigate the contents of the bonbon box. *** [Mrs. Pontellier] stood watching the fair woman walk down the long line of galleries with the grace and majesty which queens are sometimes supposed to possess. Her little ones ran to meet her. Two of them clung about her white skirts, the third she took from its nurse and with a thousand endearments bore it along in her own fond, encircling arms. Which best explains why the author included both of these scenes in the story? to develop a contrast between the way in which Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle carry out traditional female roles to develop an understanding of the role of a quadroon in raising children during the time period to develop an understanding of the close friendship that exists between Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle to develop a contrast between the way in which the quadroon and the nurse accept their positions as mother figures

The correct answer is option one.

Mrs Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle are friends who have opposite characteristics and represent different female roles. The first does not have a special bond with her children - she makes them carry her paints and things into the house. The children do not stop to talk to her - they just want to see what is in the bonbon box.  

On the other hand, Mrs Pontellier sees Madame Ratignolle as a graceful and refined woman with a stronger maternity spirit. She has a more loving relationship with her children, since they embrace her as soon as they see her.

In the 3rd paragraph from the end, Equiano describes his fascination with a quadrant, a tool that sailors use to see far away an
Harman [31]

The passage is:

<em>"I also now first saw the use of the quadrant. I had often with astonishment seen the mariners make observations with it, and I could not think what it meant. They at last took notice of my surprise; and one of them, willing to increase it, as well as to gratify my curiosity, made me one day look through it. The clouds appeared to me to be land, which disappeared as they passed along. This heightened my wonder: and I was now more persuaded than ever that I was in another world, and that every thing about me was magic."</em>

  • This passage shows the Equiano was a curious, observant person. It also shows that although he was in such a horrible situation, he was resilient and hopeful enough to still experience beautiful things, such as the "magic" of a quadrant.
  • The passage also shows you that some of the traders were occasionally compassionate. This reminds us that although the trade was an incredibly cruel, inhuman business, those who participated in it were common people, who were subject to all the feelings common people have.

Homonyms and polysemous words create lexical _____; a sentence has more than one meaning because of the multi-meaning word.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

ambiguity

Explanation:

Homonyms refer to words that have the same spelling but different meanings, while polysemous has to do with the different possible meanings of a word. As a result, both may produce uncertainty or inexactness of meaning when dealing with multi-meaning words. For instance, the words <em>bat, band, book, summit paper, watch </em>and <em>can</em> possess different meanings, which can create vagueness if the context does not provide clues to understand the meaning.
