The excerpt of this question is missing; here is the missing excerpt:
Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo and study the map.
[This] is an island lying about 1,000 miles south of Socotra. The people are Saracens who worship Mahomet. They have four sheikhs—that is to say, four elders—who exercise authority over the whole island. You must know that this island is one of the biggest and best in the whole world. It is said to measure about 4,000 miles in circumference. The people live by trade and industry. More elephants are bred here than in any other province; and I assure you that not so many elephant tusks are sold in all the rest of the world put together as in this island and that of Zanzibar.
The correct answer to this question is C. Madagascar
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the narrator refers to an island located "about 1,000 miles south of Socotra". About the island, the narrator describes some geographical features of it, as well as, features of its people. This includes the detail "More elephants are bred here than in any other province" that shows the number of elephants bred in this island is higher than in any other region.
Now, on the map, it can be deduced the island the author describes is Madagascar (Location C) because this is the only island located to the South of Socotra (Location A), which coincides with the description in the excerpt.

1. It never changes the mood of the story. Happy time= sunny sky. Sad time=rain suddenly appears. Change of season=new part of the story.
2. It makes the story seem unappealing and static.
3. It is unrealistic-people are constantly on the move.
A metaphor- it compares two things without using "as" or "like"

Answer:
Puritan girls have the power
Explanation:
Tituba was a woman and black slave, which puts her in a very vulnerable situation in a patriarchal and prejudiced society like the Puritans. The girls with whom she befriended, although they are devalued by society because they are women, are white and free girls who exercise a strong power over Tituba, who must be submissive and devalued in relation to girls. This shows that in this group of friends, the girls were the characters with power, being free to treat Tituba as they wished.
