Answer:

I would say that the phrase that best describes the connotation of the word <em>reigns</em> in this excerpt from Frederick Douglass's speech <em>What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? </em>is the last one: <em>a sense of oppression and domination.</em>

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the speaker is trying to show his audience that, after all the experiences around the world they could get, they will end up choosing America's freedom and way of living. The message is: “<em>go travel the world and compare this way of living with others, and you will come back and appreciate this one</em>”; because, after all, America has no rival. The word reigns, in this excerpt means domination, prevalence, and it involves a sense of oppression because the region is under a certain domain and people there live by those rules.

Answer:

Now that Jonas can ask questions, he realizes how overwhelming it can be for one person to receive so much information.

Explanation:

Jonas discovers all the truths about human behavior. Being able to ask questions and now have access to the memories, he is overwhelmed by all these new feelings.

Some are pleasant, but others not so much. And this helps him understand why everyone else in the community is not allowed to ask questions.

Each of these memories completely overwhelms Jonas who does not understand very well what he is seeing, since it is something new to him.

Let's look at the following quote:

<em>"There was a question bothering Jonas. "Sir," he said, "The Chief </em>

<em>Elder told me - she told everyone - and you told me, too, that it </em>

<em>would be painful. So I was a little scared"</em>

Nora lies to Torvald about macaroons, about working to pay off a loan, and about borrowing money without his consent. How does N
never [62]

Answer:

How does Nora view her own deception:

I am not sure, I am sorry. But I gave you the answer to the second question. Hopefully, you get the answer from the first question by someone else.

Why does she lie:

Nora lies to Torvald about the macaroons because she feels the need to maintain her dignity and self-respect, while catering to her own desires. She lied about the loan because in the story it is said how you need you husbands consent to borrow a loan, which she did not have. So, she did it secretly.
