Answer:

The burning of the church is such a significant moment for Okonkwo because it had been his idea. Ever since the white men had come Okonkwo had disliked them. Okonkwo thought that the Christians were effeminate and he wanted them to be gone. Okonkwo tried to convince his clan that they should kill the missionaries but could not get them to do so, they ended up agreeing to burn down the church. When the church had been burnt down this angered the white men and they captured the villiage leaders. Befor the leaders had been captured Okonkwo had been almost happy with the course of action that the clan had taken because he had thought they were becomming too weak. "For the first time in many years Okonkwo had a feeling that was akin to happiness. The times which had altered so unaccountably during his exile seemed to be coming round again. The clan which had turned false on him appeared to be making ammends." This is how Okonkwo felt after the church was turned to ashes.

Read the following passage from Bulfinch’s Mythology: The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins
kotykmax [81]

Answer: energetic

Explanation:

Agile means for someone to have the ability to move easily and be energetic. It means having an adaptable and resourceful character. The antonyms of agile are slow clumsy and stiff.

Therefore, the sentence "The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent" can be written as "The energetic youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent".

Therefore, the correct option is C.

"mirror"
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

In the poem, we note an interesting detail in the last two lines as to why the old woman sees herself as a "terrible fish". The line says,

<em>"In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."</em>

The woman uses such expressions above to show that with the passage of time, her youthfulness like a drowning fish has passed away, bringing old age.

By comparing herself to a fish, she symbolizes her aging self to a fish on land seeking survival after it is taken from its natural habitat.

By using the expression "terrible" she depicts her hopeless condition as regards becoming young again, just as a fish taken from water enters a terrible situation.

I would add:
In order to do this, I will first get people to put trees into the deserts. Once the deserts are fully planted with trees, I will ask construction workers to build homes. Families can move here and request to open shops if they wish.
Hope this helps!
