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.

How can something like McCarthyism be used as a partisan weapon against another political party? Give an example.
yKpoI14uk [10]

McCarthyism is nothing more than a witch hunt.  A lot of finger pointing and not a lot of proof.  Both parties (Democrat & Republican) in the United States use this in todays world.  Ill give examples of both and follow up with how it can be beneficial to each party.

Democrats:  Accuse other politicians of being "racist" or "bigoted" just from political ideas and from certain members of the base.  While it is not fact or true that Republicans are by policy racist, it is a word that is hated by people and has a negative connotation to it, forcing some to keep distance from said person

Republicans:  Accuse other politicians of being "muslin lovers" or "muslins" themselves.  We saw this for the entire Obama presidency.  Congress and some Republican supporters would use the word "muslin" to describe the president in order to give a negative connotation towards Obama.  This has some strong effectiveness due to the recent events (September 11th, 2001).

Both parties are trying to stick a negative idea/precedent/description about the opposition in order to sway votes.  This tactic is very effective because  not only will you sway votes, theres little repercussion in doing so because the people who disagree with you are not going to be swayed, but that voter in the middle who cares about one issue over the other (in this case racism over fear of muslims or vice versa fear of muslims over racism).  

Either someone is intelligent enough to know the rhetoric between the two parties and votes by policy (unaffected / no positive or negative response), they don't care about either issue (unaffected / no positive or negative response), or someone is strongly in favor of one or the other (strong positive or negative response).

While there are some attempts that have been made and can be made that would be so egregious that most people have a negative response, but that rarely happens and would be deemed political suicide.  

Hope this helps.

Thirty-five of the Pilgrims were members of the extreme English Separatist Church, who came to America to escape the jurisdiction of the corrupt Church of England.

Ten years before, a group of Separatists fled to Holland in quest of religious freedom due to English persecution.

<h3>Why did the Pilgrims choose to leave Holland? What hardships did they face before deciding to travel to America?</h3>

The Pilgrims spent several years in Holland before setting foot in North America.

The group, led by William Brewster and John Robinson, went to Amsterdam in 1608 to avoid religious persecution for performing clandestine services not sanctioned by the Church of England.

<h3>What freedoms were the Puritans pursuing?</h3>

Theirs was a theocracy that ruled over every element of their life.  Religion and freedom of speech or the press were as strange to the Puritans as they were to the Church of England.

When other colonies arrived with other views, the Puritans drove them away.
