Answer:

Confrontational, desperate.

Explanation:

Kamala Markandaya's<em> Nectar in a Sieve</em> revolves around the unfortunate and sad story of Rukmani's life. Set in a rural Indian village, the whole story depicts how the life of Rukmani has been full of misfortunes and sufferings, which she bravely encounters with hope for a better future each time.

In the given excerpt, Kenny the white doctor is so confused about the belief of the Indian people who were <em>"taught to bear our sorrows in silence, and all this so that the soul may be cleansed"</em>. His reaction to that statement shows his <u>confrontational approach</u>, and also <u>desperation </u>in trying to understand how people like Rukmani could bear their situation so silently.

In which portion of the essay should you address a counterargument?
sammy [17]
Usually, the rule of thumb indicates the following:
1- Introduction
     You say what you are trying to do with your text and how you are trying to accomplish it.
2- Body [1]
     You introduce your topic and your argument [thesis] and introduce supporting detail.
3- Body [2]
     You elaborate on the supporting detail.
4- Body [3]
      You state what your opposing party believes regarding your argument, and refute it.
5- Conclusion
      You reflect on what you have stated to accomplish the objective mentioned in the introduction, and how you have accomplished it.

The reason why you should not address a counterargument before/after where is suggested is because it's counterproductive to the purpose of the segments in the structure. If you do it in the second paragraph of your body, you didn't allow yourself space to support your thesis. Similarly, the introduction and conclusion paragraphs are not there for you to address anything, so doing so would be incoherent.

Answer:

Chicago Bulls

Explanation:

Based on the passage, the Chicago Bulls won the match because of several reasons.

First, the excerpt says "...should HAVE BEEN the game the Chicago Bulls lost" because their star player Michael Jordan was hospitalised because of a suspected stomach flu and he was dehydrated and missed two days of practice meaning that because of the fact that the Chicago Bulls did not have their star man operating optimally, they were supposed to lose.

The next line goes ahead to say that, "It SHOULD (in fact) HAVE marked the Utah's Jazz's first NBA Championship

win" meaning that because of the advantage of Chicago Bulls not having their star player at a hundred percent, Utah Jazz were slight favorites to win and should have in fact won, but apparently they didn't.

Finally, the tenses used in the passage indicate strongly that Utah Jazz failed to capitalise on the slight advantage they had and Chicago Bulls won the game.
