English

The connotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt is something powerful and threatening.

A fault line is a break in the Earth's surface. It is mainly used to talk about a crack that occurs when the Earth's tectonic plates move or shift. In this excerpt in particular, <u>"fault line" has been used in a metaphorical way to refer to the power that world wars have to create a fracture between nations and the power they have to bring destruction.</u> In that way, "fault lines" has a negative connotative meaning in this excerpt, which means that unpleasant emotions are associated to that word. Moreover, wars are also conceived as something negative in these lines.

The answer is indeed letter B) Personal narrative.

A personal narrative is a type of prose in which someone's life's experiences are told in first person. Even if it does present some historical facts, it differs from a historical record. A historical record is a document of historical value that focuses on narrating past events of importance to a specific place, or even the whole world. A personal narrative, on the other hand, will only tell about past historical events as they affect the speaker's life.

The Way to Rainy Mountain is a fictional autobiography by N. Scott Momaday.

Your answer would be that:

the paragraph's meaning changes slightly. First, it meant that that 'you' were the one in line to inherit the special or unordinary piece. Now, the paragraph means that 'you' were the one in line to inherit the piece in which has great value.
