or most of the voyage, too sick to be company to anyone. Each morning Hana had fled the close­ness of the sleeping quarters and spent most of the day huddled in a corner of the deck, listening to the lonely songs of some Russians also traveling to an alien land. How does this excerpt from "Tears of Autumn" develop the setting of the story? It demonstrates how lonely the trip is for Hana. It reveals how the stuffy cabin adds to Hana's anxiety.

Answer:

A) It demonstrates how lonely the trip is for Hana.

Explanation:

“Tears of Autumn” is a story by Yoshiko Uchida (1921 – 1992), In which an orphan, young Japanese woman named Hana Omiya leaves her home (in a Japanese village) and travels to America for better life opportunities. The story is narrated in third person point of view. The theme of the story is "taking chances to improve one's life".

First option is correct because the phrases in the excerpt like,<em> </em><em>"not befriended the other women"</em><em> , </em><em>"huddled in a corner of the deck,"  </em>and<em> "the lonely songs"</em> show that the author is trying to present a lonely setting of Hana's trip.

Second option is not correct because this except does not tell us that the cabins were over-crowded.

Third option is not correct: Although we can infer that the journey is long, but the stress throughout the excerpt is on loneliness of the journey also foreshadowing loneliness in Hana's own life.

Fourth option is also not correct because the excerpt tells otherwise i.e the ship is not cramped but it is lonely.

Ano ang maidudulot ng kabutihang panlahat​
Alex787 [66]

Answer with Explanation:

Malaki ang maidudulot ng kabutihang panlahat sa lahat ng tao <em>kung ito'y pagtutuunan ng pansin. </em><u>Dito nakasalalay ang ating paraan ng pamumuhay. </u>Halimbawa ng kabutihang panlahat ay ang <em>karapatan makainom ng malinis na tubig.</em> Kung ang lahat ng tao ay may pagkakataong maka-inom ng malinis na tubig, <u><em>ito'y magdudulot ng matiwasay na pamumuhay</em></u><u> </u><u><em>dahil walang mag-aaway-away.</em></u><em> </em>

Malaki ang epekto ng kabutihang panlahat sa pagkakaisa ng mga tao. Dahil dito, ang bawat tao ay inaasahang tumulong sa kapwa upang mapabuti ang pamumuhay nang lahat. Natututo rin tayong hindi maging sakim sa mga materyal na bagay sa mundo at ibigay ang iba sa mga nangangailangan.

What is the summary of the Vietnam Wars the Chinese dragon
larisa86 [58]

The Sino-Vietnamese War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh biên giới Việt-Trung; simplified Chinese: 中越战争; traditional Chinese:中越戰爭; pinyin: Zhōng-Yuè Zhànzhēng), also known as the Third Indochina War, was a brief border war fought between the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in early 1979. China launched the offensive in response to Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978 (which ended the rule of the Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge).[17]Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wrote that Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping saw this as a Soviet attempt "to extend its evil tentacles to Southeast Asia and...carry out expansion there", which reflected the long-standing Sino-Soviet split.[18] Kissinger also noted that "[w]hatever the shortcomings of its execution, the Chinese campaign reflected a serious, long-term strategic analysis".[19]

The Chinese entered northern Vietnam and captured some of the cities near the border. On March 6, 1979, China declared that the gate to Hanoi was open and that their punitive mission had been achieved. Chinese forces retreated back across the Vietnamese border into China. Both China and Vietnam claimed victory in the last of the Indochina Wars of the 20th century; as Vietnamese troops remained in Cambodia until 1989, it can be said that China failed to achieve the goal of dissuading Vietnam from involvement in Cambodia. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Sino-Vietnamese border was finalized.

China demonstrated to its Cold War Communist adversary, the Soviet Union, that they were unable to protect their new Vietnamese ally.[20] Following worsening relations between the Soviet Union and China as a result of the Sino-Soviet split, as many as 1.5 million Chinese troops were stationed along the Soviet-Chinese border, in preparation for a full-scale war.
