English
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B). Foreshadows the ambiguous end of her life.

Explanation:

The short story 'Desiree's baby' authored by Kate Chopin which is set in the pre-civil war era and emphasizes the racial tension between a couple regarding a baby. As per the question, Desiree's obscure origin(African ancestry) presages the ambiguous end of her life. The author through the story aims to describe the evils of racism that lead people to act in a morally corrupt manner and reflect the hollow perceptions of whites considering themselves to be superior. Desiree's enigmatic end is proof of this shallow and corrupt attitude of whites who prioritize race above the human-self. Thus, <em>Desiree's obscure origin 'foreshadows the ambiguous end of her life'.</em>

Which of the following phrases from Mandela’s speech is an example of a metaphor?
Alla [95]
I believe that the phrase from Mandela's speech that is an example of a metaphor is the first one - 'the children, [...] the greatest of our treasures."
A metaphor is a type of comparison, where two or more things are compared without using words such as <em>like </em>or <em>as. </em>Here, the children are the greatest of our treasures - they are compared to a treasure, something which is the most important thing of all.
