Which of the following is the best translation of the tief-man's words?


"We tried our best to call for the soldiers, but they are all asleep. What can you do about that? Do you want to try calling for the soldiers? You can't make us try again. Soldiers are better than police, right?"

"Don't bother calling for help, we've put everyone to sleep. What do you want to do now? Don't call for the soldiers because soldiers are not better than the police."

"Everyone is asleep, so I wouldn't bother trying to call for help. What would happen if you did? Well, perhaps the soldiers would show up instead of the police. You wouldn't want that to happen would you?"

"We've tried to help you call for help, but it seems everyone is asleep. What do you want to do now? Would you like to call for soldiers? Want us to call them for you? Soldiers are better than police, right?"

Answer: "We've tried to help you call for help, but it seems everyone is asleep. What do you want to do now? Would you like to call for soldiers? Want us to call them for you? Soldiers are better than police, right?"

Explanation: To find the better translation of the tief-man's words, we must analyze each sentence of the passage. "we don try our best for call dem but I tink say dem all done sleep-o" means "We've tried to help you call for help, but it seems everyone is asleep", then we have questions: "So wetin we go do now?" "Sometaim you wan call soja?" which mean "What do you want to do now?" "Would you like to call for soldiers?" and the last two sentences: "Or you wan make we call dem for you?" "Soja better pass police. No be so?" which translate to: "Want us to call them for you?" "Soldiers are better than police, right?"

Read the following excerpt from Robinson Crusoe.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A. The captain.

Explanation:

In Chapter XXVI of <em>Robinson Crusoe</em> by William Defoe, Robinson Crusoe saw a ship come towards his island and along with that, three captives being led to the island. On further investigation, he found out that the <em>"three prisoners"</em> were actually part of the ship's actual men, one of them being the captain of the ship. He even told Crusoe that he <em>"was commander of that ship, [his] men have mutinied against [him]"</em>.

So, the man <em>"with tears running down his face, and  trembling" </em>was the captain of the ship. He told Crusoe how his men had mutinied against him and two of his men, and were now captives at the hands of the mutineers. Thus, the given passage or lines is a description of the captain who was happy and grateful to Crusoe for coming to their aid and saving their lives from the captors.

Examples of emotive language used in The Speech "We shall fight on the beaches" and Is blood Toil, Tears, and Sweat in the speec
frosja888 [35]

Emotive language in the speech is rife as it is a war call.

Explanation:

Churchill was one of the finest at rhetoric in the nation of Britain when he wanted to do a rally call in terms of the speech to rally his troops for the fight in the world war.

This is the speech that was delivered and it was rather emotive in its content.

Blood Toil, Tears, and Sweat is in the speech "We shall fight on the beaches" but in a later version specifically written for the radio.

The original speech did not contain this allusion.
