Answer:
Second option: Animals bred through pet shops suffer health problems.
Third Option: People need to adopt animals instead of going to pet shops.
Explanation:
These two ideas best summarize the ideas presented in the excerpt. Speaker's main purpose is to persuade the audience not to buy animals from pet store instead adopt them from animal shelter, he (speaker) needs to give audience a reason why they should not buy from pet stores. This reason is provided in the second option i.e these animals suffer health problems. The third option is the conclusion and purpose of the speech. So this point too is required for summarizing the speech.
First and fourth options, although relevant, are less important when considering the purpose of the speech.
Fifth option is neither part of the speech, not speaker's purpose.
Answer:
"The Wedding Gift" by Marlen Suyapa Bodden revolves around the life of a woman named Clarissa and her 'wedding gift' slave from her father. And one of the main themes in this story is that of slavery and how discriminatory or inferior the slaves were treated in the South parts of America.
Explanation:
Marlen Suyapa Bodden's "The Wedding Gift," tells the story of how a woman named Clarissa and her 'wedding gift slave "Sarah" who turned out to be her half-sister, a product of their father's secret sexual affair with his slave Emmeline. This story delves into the issue of slavery in the American South, the positions of slaves and their hardships and the issue of class/ belonging among different races, and also especially on the 'inferiority' of the female gender compared to the males.
<u>One dominant issue in the story is that of slavery</u>. This is seen in the lives, the different lives of the two sisters Clarissa and Sarah. While Clarissa, as a white woman, is an accepted daughter of Allen and have full access to her father's world, Sarah, on the other hand, is just a small slave girl who is passed on like a piece of property. She was given by Allen to Clarissa as a wedding gift, and when her husband divorced her, she remained a part of Clarissa's 'belongings' that she takes along with her wherever her life leads.
