Answer:

B. The people's lives are difficult, but they pretend to feel joy when others can see.

Explanation:

Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem "We Wear the Mask" refers to or talks about people who hide behind a mask to show the side that people want to see. But deep beneath the mask of happiness and smile that people can see, there is pain and suffering and crying, which is hidden so well by the mask.

The speaker talks about suffering which <em>"hides our cheeks and shades our eyes"</em>. He then went on to state <em>"We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries / To thee from tortured souls arise."</em> And when he says <em>"We sing, but oh the clay is vile / Beneath our feet, and long the mile;" </em>he seems to say that <u>despite the hardships faced by them, they will pretend to be joyful and show a happy face that everyone expects and wants to see</u>, and he will hide his true feelings behind the mask.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

To create the plot of the play.

Explanation:

The original material that Shakespeare used was taken from the story "Un Capitano Moro" written by Cinthio almost 100 years earlier, which tells the story of a very eloquent and honorable black man who became a great general, but who was betrayed by a man who pretended to be your ally. Shakespeare used this as a basis for creating and writing the entire Othelo storyline.

Some victims do not report abuse and violence they are suffering.discuss two reasons why many cases of abuse and violence are no
ollegr [7]
 The fear of not being believed , if there are no witnesses , is a major reason in the case of sexual assault. 
<span>Together with a feeling of shame and/or fear of reprisal by the offender. </span>

<span>Defence of such charges (against adult victims) usually argues the sexual encounter was consensual, or seeks to prove the victim is someone of loose morals and/or went further than intended - or the charge is totally false/malicious. </span>

<span>It's often difficult to prove 'guilt beyond all reasonable doubt' and many victims simply prefer to avoid the publicity and possible denigration of their character. </span>

<span>As regards domestic violence - the young will often be under threat of even more violence if they report the abuse - as can apply to adults, particularly females who might actually still 'love' the perpetrator, despite the violence - which will often result from a drink or drug problem, the bully expressing 'remorse' and promise not to do it again. </span>
<span>Until the next time, etc.</span>
