Mr. and Mrs. Farquar … asked the scientist to lunch. … Gideon … said grudgingly: “The Big Baas want to know what medicine I used

?” He spoke incredulously, as if he could not believe his old friends could so betray him. Mr. Farquar began explaining how a useful medicine could be made out of the root, and how it could be put on sale, and how thousands of people … could be saved by the medicine. … [T]hey all realized he would never give in. The magical drug would remain where it was, unknown and useless except for the tiny scattering of Africans who had the knowledge … power and wisdom.
In “No Witchcraft for Sale” by Doris Lessing, how does Gideon’s cultural background affect his actions with the medicinal plant?


A. Gideon’s position as a leader in the native community requires him to be kind to the scientist.


B.Gideon’s position as Teddy’s caregiver leads him to give away the name of the medicinal root.


C. Gideon’s position as a tribal medicine man dictates that he not betray the secret to outsiders.


D. Gideon’s position as a servant to the family demands that he tell the Farquars what they want to know.

C. Gideon’s position as a tribal medicine man dictates that he not betray the secret to outsiders.

In the passage it states that "[T]hey all realized he would never give in." This best shows that Gideon will not reveal the medicine he used. This means that any answer which shows he did give away the medicine information is incorrect. Options C and D are eliminated. Option A can also be eliminated because it only encourages kindness to the scientist, it does not say anything about his actions with the medicinal plant.

Explanation:

A verb is one of the parts of speech in English language. Verbs can be defined as any word that describes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. Some examples of verb are dance, sing, walk, play, run, sit, etc.

An adverb can be defined as a word that is used in English language to modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Some examples are slowly, quickly, brightly, sadly, etc.

When an adverb is used to refer to a whole sentence in order to express an opinion, describe an attitude or simply act as a comment, it is known as a sentence adverb. Some examples of this type of adverb are however, clearly, sadly, evidently, fortunately, seriously, curiously, actually, presumably, apparently, etc.

What is the denotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt? lines that are drawn when placing blame areas of defense in times
Sauron [17]
Well, denotative meaning refers to the literal meaning of a word. So, I guess the correct answer would be <span><u>long cracks in the surface of the earth</u>, because that is the definition of the word fault lines. The other options are too metaphorical, and would thus be considered to be a connotative, rather than denotative meaning.</span>
