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.

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.

The "this" to which the poet refers in the final line is "the poet's art," which means that, as long as his poem exists, people will remember that person.

<h3>What is the poem about?</h3>

"Sonnet 18" by Shakespeare is a poem about a beautiful woman with whom the speaker seems to be in love. The speaker tells her that her existence and her beauty will always be remembered, that they will never fade.

What the speaker means is that, as long as that poem exists and people read it, they will remember that woman's life and beauty. She is being immortalized in the poem.

Thus, when the speaker says in the final line, "So long lives this and this gives life to thee," the word "this" means the poem, the art that will keep her memory alive.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.
