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.

Directions: The following paragraph is an example of a student’s paragraph that does not meet all of the expectations of academi
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

In my opinion, video games are bad for both kids and teenagers because the genre can affect mood, and the amount of time they have to play can affect grades. “86% of the parents said their teenagers did spend too much time playing video games” ... As kids continue to play video games, they can easily become addicted. Certain genres of video games, including violent games, can cause children and parents to argue and can contribute to worsening grades in school. Although, some video games fall into the educational genre and are good for young kids because they can learn new things.  Some adults limit the number of times children play video games, while others don't, giving kids the chance to play whenever for however long. I believe that it is good to limit the amount of screen time kids have to play video games. Most kids would choose to play games late at night, which can cause them to be tired and sleepy in school. This can also cause grades to slip.

Explanation:

i hope this is good
