Read this excerpt from "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell: I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant

it is his own freedom that he destroys. He becomes a sort of hollow, posing dummy, the conventionalized figure of a sahib. For it is the condition of his rule that he shall spend his life in trying to impress the "natives," and so in every crisis he has got to do what the "natives" expect of him. . . . A sahib has got to act like a sahib; he has got to appear resolute, to know his own mind and do definite things. Based on this excerpt, what does "sahib" most likely mean?
A. Hunter and tracker
B. Sir or master
C. Elephant keeper
D. Native of Southeast Asia

The term "sahib" means B. Sir or master.

George Orwell explains that the worst thing for a man is to turn into a tyrant,  since he then becomes some kind of "sahib", an authoritative figure to which natives must respect and rely on. This person must have determination in his decisions and actions. In fact, the word "sahib" was used as a respectful way in which natives used to refer to and address their masters.

Genrish500 [490]

The correct answer is A.

The bottom map provides data that shows that prescribed fires would actually reduce the carbon dioxide, as opposed to wild fires, which would produce it in large quantities.

Therefore, these maps could be used as evidence to support the idea that prescribed fires are benefitial for the environment, rather than harmful.

Which line completes the quatrain's rhyme scheme?
Feliz [49]

Answer: The shore's a backdrop for my lonely day.

Explanation:

This quatrain's rhyme scheme is such that a line must rhyme with the line that follows after the next line. This is why lines 1 and 3 rhyme by ending with the words: "alone" and "flown".

We need to pick an option therefore, that has a last word that can rhyme with the word "stay" in line 2. That option is the one above which has "day" at it's end. "Day" and "stay" rhyme so this is the correct answer.
