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.

13 You and some other students recently organised a fashion show at your school to raise money for
RSB [31]

Answer:

Dear friend,

I hope you are doing great. I am well and happy since I have helped in a fashion show at my school to raise money for a charity, and it went excellent.

With other students, we organized a fashion show to raise money for the Save Children charity. It is an organization that helps children in need to be healthy, to have food and education. I was part of the food team, which means that I had to cook and sell food to our guests. The response to the show was overwhelming. Thanks to the organization and the hard work, we raised more money than we expected. Even more, the principal congratulated us on our job!

I have to go now, but I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

See you,

Jane.

Explanation:

When writing a letter to a friend, we have to use an informal style.

In the first paragraph, we have to write about how we are, ask how the other person is, and introduce the letter's topic. In the second paragraph, we describe the fashion show in detail. In other words, we write about the charity, our role in the show, and what happened. Lastly, we write our final paragraph to say our goodbyes and ask the person for a response.

How can annotating help you and how do you “talk to the text”?
natita [175]

Answer:

Talking to the text, make like connections to the text basically in the text box next to it (blank text box) you like talk to it as if you're talking to a person. Using the text box, you read through the paragraph and if you see something you can relate to in the past or something that's been present, you'll put that in the text box. And if there's something you've heard about in the text, you put that in the text too and then you underline the paragraph in the store that you can relate too. And then put a star next to it
