Answer:

D. from lack of use

Explanation:

Doris Lessing's "The Old Chief Mshlanga" tells the story of an English-born white girl who was raised in Africa and although she coexists with many African natives, reproduces her parents' racist and wrong behaviors that believe white people are superior and have more rights than blacks. One day this girl meets Old Chief Mshlanga who is the leader of a local tribe. Old Chief Mshlanga shows the girl that her prejudiced thoughts are wrong and establishes a strong friendship with the girl.

The narration of this book is told from the first and third person point of view, so at one point the narrator (first person) says that he found education difficult due to misuse, that is, because he was not used to it.

Reread Act IV, Scene 5 from lines 13 to 60. How does Shakespeare use figurative language to convey the grief felt by the Capulet
ziro4ka [17]
Figurative language in this section helps convey the grief of the Capulets by making their lamenting more personal and poetic. Specifically, using personification to represent death as a person helps the reader really feel like Juliet has been actively taken away from them rather than her just having died. For example, when Capulet says "Death, that hath ta'en her hence to make me wail, / Ties up my tongue, and will not let me speak." This is making Death the active enemy, giving them someone to blame. This section also uses a lot of simile, including when Capulet says "Death lies on her like an untimely frost / Upon the sweetest flower of all the field." This makes her death feel peaceful, looking at Juliet as a sweet flower with just a hint of frost over her. Finally, Capulet also uses anaphora to reinforce the personification of Death and the poetry of Juliet's passing. He says "<span>Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir;", repeating Death at the beginning of each phrase.</span>

How is a root word used to understand a text?
Nostrana [21]

A root word provides the foundation for a word's meaning, which is the fourth option. A root word is the basic word without adding any suffixes or prefixes. New words can be made from a root word, and their meanings are going to vary based on the prefixes or suffixes added to the noun. When a root word is found in a text, the context might take the reader to the origin of the word and make the reader better aware of the use and signification in a sentence or paragraph.
