Answer:

The given lines are taken from the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.

Explanation:

Zora Neale Hurston's <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em> tells the story of African American women trying to survive in the world of the white authority. The narrator Janie tells her friend Phoeby about her three husbands and the life she had to live, trying to survive.

The given passage is spoken by Nanny/ Janie's grandmother after her first marriage to Logan Killicks. And for Nanny, the union was a successful deal done, with land and a lawful husband, and all things that white women have. The passage reveals Nanny telling her granddaughter how a man and a woman should love equally. A man must have his pride and love a woman right, not kiss her foot and leg. Just like Nanny said <em>"when dey got to bow down tuh love, dey soon straightens up</em>". If he's kissing her foot and leg, meaning treating her too well, then there's only a short time when he will get back to his usual self.

Benjamin Franklin was practically penniless when he arrived in Philadelphia. _____ He was able to buy some rolls.
oee [108]
We will be using the transitional word "but".

To complete the sentence:

Benjamin Franklin was practically penniless when he arrived in Philadelphia, but he was able to buy some rolls.


Quick trivia:

In early America, running away was illegal. Runaways did not fit anywhere and people had to have a place in society. That did not stop Benjamin, instead, he rode a boat to New York in hope to find work as a printer. He didn't continue and walked to New Jersey, finally arriving in Philadelphia via boat ride.
