Answer:The student could use the words "a new man" to infer that sedative refers to something that helps relieve worry.

Explanation:Sedative is supposed to take away your pain or numb certain feelings hence renewing your state of mind or being. For a person to say they are a new man this means they feel renewed and what they felt before they no longer feel anymore, so they are a new man.

In southern black culture, folktale retellings were a source of comfort.

Even though Southern blacks were not taught to read or write, they are still learned.
