Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The two characters of the story, House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar are Irene and her brother who wasn't named.

Here are two things that seem “off” about the two characters and their relationship:

In their forties and still are both unmarried
they both live in the same house.

1. By stating that both characters are old enough to be married but yet aren't creates a sense of surprise to an avid reader because it is rare to find such a situation in society.

2. We are also told both siblings live in the same house which they inherited. This creates another surprise to the reader that grownups who are siblings can stay in the same house for a long time.

Which assumption can the reader make about Kumalo?

Alina [70]

Answer:

B). He is insecure about his place in the world.

Explanation:

As per the question, the inference that the readers can make about Kumalo is that 'he is insecure about his place in the world' the native life was getting ruined due to the social injustice that divided the society into 'haves' and 'have nots'. The protagonist Kumalo possessed a threat of losing his identity/place in the world(due to the domination and injustice practiced by the whites) and thus, his chief aim was to restore order to his family by taking necessary actions that would be required to establish a place for him and his family in the society. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
