Question: <em>In this excerpt from “Little Snow-White” by the Brothers Grimm, which sentence contains a symbol of pride?</em>
I think your answer would be;
- A. Oh, that I had a child as white as this snow, as red as this blood, and as black as the wood of this frame!
Pride;
- <em>"High or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc."</em>

Answer:
B. Moctezuma demanded tributes and victimized his people.
Explanation:
From the passage, we discover that his people resented to his demands for tribute and victims of the religious sacrifices. Such resentment from his people weakened his conquest.
When any people are against their rulers, it is difficult for such ruler to enjoy freedom and exercise his authority. I believe this played out when the people began resenting Moctezuma.
He demanded tributes and victimized the people but that worked against him and made him a prisoner in his own palace.

<span>Read the excerpt from Montaigne's "To the Reader" and answer the question. Had my intention been to seek the world's favour, I should surely have adorned myself with borrowed beauties: I desire therein to be viewed as I appear in mine own genuine, simple, and ordinary manner, without study and artifice: for it is myself I paint. The metaphor implied in these lines suggests to readers that they will find Montaigne's writing style unadorned. To be "genuine, simple and ordinary manners" suggests an unadorned writing style reflectling his own modest behaviour.</span>
