<u>Answer</u>:

In the short story “Civil Peace,” Jonathan feels optimistic about the changes that the war has inflicted on him and his family.

<u>Explanation</u>:

This short story by Chinua Achebe talks about the after-effects of the Nigerian Civil War. The protagonist Jonathan has a bicycle and his house after the war. He drives a taxi and makes a little amount of income. He comes back to his house with his family and all them pick up jobs to support themselves as well as to repair certain parts of the house. He then runs a bar for soldiers outside his house. He also receives an amount of 20 dollars for turning in rebel currency to the Treasury but that too gets taken away by the robbers who come and ask for money.

Despite everything Jonathan is positive and sees on the brighter side. He counts his blessings that is his life, his wife’s life and the life of three of his children. Jonathan wants to feel happy about life and not feel sad for those who died. His optimism shows in the repairing of the house, in opening the bar for employment and even when robbers take away their money.

Walton then regains control of the narrative, continuing the story in the form of further letters to his sister. He tells her that he believes in the truth of Victor’s story. He laments that he did not know Victor, who remains on the brink of death, in better days.

One morning, Walton’s crewmen enter his cabin and beg him to promise that they will return to England if they break out of the ice in which they have been trapped ever since the night they first saw the monster’s sledge. Victor speaks up, however, and convinces the men that the glory and honor of their quest should be enough motivation for them to continue toward their goal. They are momentarily moved, but two days later they again entreat Walton, who consents to the plan of return.

Just before the ship is set to head back to England, Victor dies. Several days later, Walton hears a strange sound coming from the room in which Victor’s body lies. Investigating the noise, Walton is startled to find the monster, as hideous as Victor had described, weeping over his dead creator’s body. The monster begins to tell him of all his sufferings. He says that he deeply regrets having become an instrument of evil and that, with his creator dead, he is ready to die. He leaves the ship and departs into the darkness.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This stanza is about a climatic part in the poem, mostly about the death of a certain character. Since this character is taking the head back to a location, it seems like a resolution. So, therefore, I think the best answer here is D.

Hope this helps! Good luck on this Test/Quiz. I hope you do well!

The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!” is an example of:
WINSTONCH [101]
Answer: Anaphora

Explanation: The phrase “let it come” is used repeatedly throughout the text. It is not antithesis because the information in the text is not contradicting anything. It’s not epistrophe because it’s not only one word being repeated, but a phrase. It’s not allusion because it’s not referencing anything in the text.
