Answer: D) Influential.

In the given excerpt from "Finding Unity in the Alabama Coal Mines” we can see that the connotation of the word "powerful" is "influential" because it says that the interracial labor union, helped to bridge the racial divide in that state.

The correct answer is D. Influential

Explanation:

The connotative meaning of a word refers to the ideas or thoughts a word evokes for certain people or in a specific context and that usually differs from the literal meaning or the meaning the word has in the dictionary. In the case of the excerpt presented from "Finding Unity in the Alabama Coal Mines" the author explains the way in which the UMWA or the United Mine Workers of America that  is a labor union in the U.S.  went beyond the racial issues that divided the state and create an interracial labor union, emphasizing this happened even before the civil rights movement, which was the moment that ended segregation occurred. This means the UMWA play an important role by forming a union that supported the end of racial issues. Considering the word "powerful" is the one used to describe the UMWA "powerful interracial labor " the connotation or ideas this word evokes in this context is "influential" as the author aims to show the role of the Union in changing the social situation in the 20th century by describing it as "powerful".

When anthropologist Robert Welsch had a very high fever from malaria in Papua New Guinea, why did the Ningerum villagers want to
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

So that they will not be accused of any form of sorcery in relation to the sickness of Mr. Welsch.

Explanation:

In the book "Cultural Anthropology" Robert L. Welsch and Luis A. Vivanco discusses the various and different approaches to sickness and diseases, depending on the environment and culture of the people concerned. For example, when anthropologist Robert Welsch contracted malaria while doing some field work among the Ningerum people of Papua New Guinea, the villagers want to take him to the health center that was miles away. Even though he tried the American way of dealing with the sickness, by taking fluids and medicines, seclusion and lots of rest, the villagers, as is their custom, did not let him be alone. Instead, they have a completely different perception of their sicknesses. They believed that illnesses are caused by sorcery, and so they tried to comfort Welsch and stay with him for long hours. They were scared of being accused of doing some sorcery on him so rather than being wrongly accused, they would rather send him to the health center where they won't come to any sort of harm.
