Answer:
Ok, so basically a <em>really</em> short story about you getting what you wanted? Okay then.
Explanation:
"Wait, wait, wait...someone pinch me, quick! Is this <em>the </em><u>(whatever you want)</u>? Oh my god, thank you so much!" I said as I unwrapped the present. My brother didn't pass up the opportunity and pinched me, hard. I yelled at him, but inside I was still ecstatic. I had gotten <em>the perfect present</em> and now nothing could ruin my birthday, not even my pinching brother.
I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.
<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.
"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant.
Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in. </span>
I think it is D.
'It' makes the sentence unclear in purpose
Kms. I don't know this but I'm commenting on it to pass this 50 question exam sorry if it bothers you.
