Read this passage from "The Light of Gandhi's Lamp," in which Hilary Kromberg Inglis describes going to the police station in So

uth Africa where her sister is being detained. I imagined what CR Swart Square Police Station would look like. Would it be like John Vorster Square Police Station in Johannesburg, where Neil Aggett had died in detention—“committed suicide,” authorities claimed, by “hanging himself”? How does Inglis's decision to use quotation marks around certain words affect the text? It helps convey the idea that, during apartheid, many South Africans who disapproved of their government's racist policies did not trust the police to follow the law or to be honest about their actions. It helps suggest that, like others who protested the apartheid government at this time, Inglis believed that these deaths were not real and that the alleged victims had been deported due to their political beliefs. It helps show that, while the apartheid system was wrong, Inglis understood that not all of those who protested the system were noble or righteous or truly devoted to the cause of equality. It helps indicate that, as a white South African, Inglis was uniquely aware of the hypocrisy and lies that the authorities attempted to pass off as the truth during apartheid.

Answer:

This question requires a personal answer. I will give you an example of an answer so that you can see how to relate your own.

Explanation:

One day my boss asked me for many tasks for my work that had to be done online. The night before I decided to make a list to do my tasks in an orderly manner and on a certain schedule. I had 8 tasks to be turned in that day, and 8 hours to complete them. So I decided to do one task per hour. I started as well as I had planned. I had already completed four tasks and at the moment of starting the fifth the internet was disconnected. Everything I had planned now would be difficult to accomplish in case the internet didn't come back. I had to act fast or I wouldn't get my work done. The first thing I did was reboot my wi-fi router, but it didn't work. Then I tried to communicate with the company that provided the service but the lines were saturated. I decided not to waste any more time and went to my aunt's house to use her internet. I had to finish the tasks in less time than planned, but I was able to finish it on time even though I had to react to an unexpected situation.
