Answer:
<u>"Andre's heart sank. While he had been painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, someone else had casually driven off with his car. All his hard work had been for nothing."</u>
Explanation:
<em>Remember, </em>the use of reflection to develop a narrative by an author often involves mentioning occurrences that led to a change of events.
In this instance, <em>reflecting </em>on the fact that Andre was painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, resulted in him unable to purchase the car he had in mind initially, thus, adding this detail leads to further development of the narrative.
Answer:
No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath.
Explanation:
The story <em>The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind</em> is based on the true-life story of the author William Kamkwamba who used his interest in science to help reduce the drought issue in his village. But the invention of the windmill also allows his village to have electricity which had never been heard of or seen in the whole of Malawi.
The given excerpt shows how William explains the workings of the proposed windmill. He demonstrates that <em>"The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity"</em>. This will generate enough electrical power to help in providing irrigation even to the far fields and thus prevent drought in the land. The phrase that implied context that this will benefit Malawi and its people is when he states there will be need for the "<em>kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath". </em>
