Valéry argues that Europe's intellectual crisis is caused by _____ and _____.

C) the fear that the future will be worse than the past

Answer and Explanation:
After reading the essay "Names nombres" written by J. Alvarez, we can learn how difficult it is for a family of Spanish origin to maintain their names and traditions within a totally different culture like that of the USA, especially when that family comes from a country considered to be "third world", seen as inferior and often shameful and devalued. This affected the way Alvarez saw her own identity, associated with her and her family names. These names were pronounced so differently by the Americans, it seemed that they were erasing the Latin origin of it and imposing an Americanized and more "normal" version.
In this essay, Alvarez approaches her youth as a Latin immigrant in the USA. It shows how difficult it is to live between two cultures and how it affects various elements in people's lives.
The overall aesthetic impact of the structure of “it’s this way” by Nazim Hikmet illustrates the sudden change of mind from something beautifully described to something twisted and insidious. It also signifies the change of heart as the author describes the beautiful landscape of which he can be granted freedom- to then succumb to the truth shown above.
I think the answer is total liabilities. hope this helps!
