I believe the correct answer is: The narrator's superior pigs and his demand that the villagers pay for the damage done to his pigs creates tension between the narrator and the villagers.
 
     In this excerpt from the story “In a Native Village” from the “Ridan the Devil and the other stories”, written by Louis Becke, main conflict begins with narrator’s conviction that his pigs are superior and had done no wrong to other villagers when they escape from his property: 
“Next morning the seven piglets were returned one by one by various native children. Each piglet had, according to their accounts, been in a separate garden, and done considerable damage… I gave each lying child a quarter-dollar.”
     Their next escape resulted in losing their tails while confronting the other pigs, for with the narrator demanded a considerable payment as he regarded this as their escape from the “cruel death”. This situation cumulated the tension between the villagers and the narrator and resulted in their fraud and narrator shooting his own pig.


    Therefore, I would say that the narrator advances the plot of the story with his demand that the villagers pay for the damage done to his superior pigs, which creates tension between the narrator and the villagers.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The light bulb

Explanation:

The light bulb made in the year 1879 was one of the most revolutionary inventions to this date. The reason as to why this is, Is simple everywhere  you go you see a light bulb in your phone screen in your home in the flash light you use. These are everywhere, back before they where invented people where left in the dark and muggings and murder rates where high since no one was around to see or could see. This is also important in todays society as a light bulb although simple and very basic it goes far beyond what the ordinary person thinks of it has helped solved murders with the use of black light it has helped stop crime by lighting everything up making people weary of what they decide to do. This simple little thing does much more than what catches the eye.

Scientists claim that the connection between the brain and our sense of smell can help us avoid danger. What evidence can you fi
LiRa [457]
The connection between the nose and the brain are governed by our sensory motor cells and neurons. Our senses (including the nose) send signal to our brain through the neurotransmitters. Similarly, the brain sends feedback to other senses and organs through the same media. This explains the unpleasant feeling we get when we smell something foul.
