Answer:
Hiya there!
Explanation:
I think that the first answer would be correct.
Answer: C
Explanation: If you read the excerpt the character is in a very difficult situation. He is swimming in high waters and as “he stroke” or swam with his arms he was becoming more slow due to all the physical effort he is putting into. Each kick in the water caused an enormous tension on his ankles. “Emphasized” here refers to “put stress on” because the other options don’t have anything to do with the situation. “Took note of” would mean he knows he’s hurting physically but will ignore the pain, “gave ease to” would mean he would find relief and “used strength for” would mean he’s putting all the strength he’s got to the pain or the ankle.
The sentence should be clear like this: “He recognized that his stroke was slowing as each agonizing kick in the water put stress on his throbbing pain to his ankle”
The author includes logical evidence that Indian workers and formerly enslaved people didn't get along because wages went down.
In the passage, it states:
"The Indian coolies and the ex-slaves, who resented the newcomers flooding the colonies and driving down wages, were instant rivals."
In this case, the Indian coolies are the newcomers and the ex-slaves are the ones resenting them. Therefore, the ex-slaves resent the Indian coolies because they were driving down wages.
Well since you are trying to persuade the listener, I would say B. Opinion, Illusion.
