Answer:

Extravagant hypothesis.

Explanation:

Fallacies represent the error/flaw in reasoning that spoils the validity of the argument. An extravagant hypothesis is a kind of fallacy that occurs when an exaggerated or unlikely explanation or comparison is provided unnecessarily where a simpler or less elaborate description could work more efficiently. <em>Similarly, this example proposes an extravagant comparison(with 'aliens') that represents a flaw in logical reasoning(comparison here) </em>that neglects the effectiveness of the intended meaning. Thus, it exemplifies the 'extravagant hypothesis' fallacy.

14. Unoka, Okonkwo's father, went to consult the Oracle concerning his crops.
Talja [164]

Answer:

14. True.

15. False.

16. True.

Explanation:

In Chinua Achebe's novel 'Things Fall Apart", the story revolves around the Igbo culture in Africa, specifically on the character of Okonkwo. The story deals with themes of culture, tradition, Christianity, conformity, etc.

In Chapter 3, we see that Okonkwo's father Unoka went to the Oracle to consult why his crops failed even though he made sacrifices. It was then that he was told his crops failed despite his sacrifices because he was lazy and had planted on a wasted land.

Okonkwo's prosperity was a result of his desire to be unlike his lazy father. He did not want to be deemed alike to his father and thus, went to the wealthy Nwakibie to ask for 400 yam seeds.

In Igbo culture, yam was considered to be the king of the crops. It was assumed that a man who can feed yam to his family the whole year is a man who has succeeded and is hardworking.

Thematic statements about the giver? In your own words.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the most important themes in The Giver is the significance of memory to human life. Lowery was inspired to write The Giver after a visit to her aging father, who had lost most of his long-term memory. At some point in the past the community in The Giver decided to eliminate all pain from their lives.

Hope this helped! :)
