Answer:
Two statements that best express the major themes of the short story "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston are options -
D. The consequences of people’s actions eventually catch up with them,
and
E. Compassion has its limits and can vanish as a result of abuse.
Explanation:
It’s true that the consequences of one’s actions eventually catch up with him/her. Sykes got a snake to drive Delia out of the house but things ended up the other way round. The snake got out and bit Sykes which eventually killed him.
This is also true that compassion has its own limits and abuse can abolish it. Delia was compassionate towards Sykes. But it is worn out due to years of abuse. The men sitting outside the store always spoke of how Sykes' abuse had changed Delia who was once the most beautiful girl in town. It’s seen at the end of the story that Delia had no compassion for Sykes and therefore, she didn’t help him when he was dying.

The statements that accurately describe the sentence are:
• The sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause: a nonrestrictive clause provides additional information to the sentence but it does no alter the meaning of the sentence if it is removed from it. In this case the nonrestrictive clause is “who were lucky”. Nonrestrictive clauses should be delimited by commas within the sentence.
• All of the children got presents: the meaning of the sentence exemplifies that all children got presents since the nonrestrictive clause adds optional meaning and if it were removed, the sentence would say “The children got presents”.
C. How can you turn away from a child who is hungry? Look at the sad faces of the children and find it in your heart to give, is an example of pathos.
Pathos is a Greek word referring to experiences and sufferings. The words empathy and sympathy are derived from the word pathos. Therefore, it is used by authors to make the audience feel what they want them to feel, which would evoke the anger in audience or would draw pity or sympathy from audience to prompt action.
