The paragraph is about the traditional views of Chinese people on education.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The story talks about two boys who are twins but still are very different from each other and it also focuses on the importance of education in a life of a person and how it influences a life of a person.
One of the boys in the story is given proper education, is dressed up like a scholar and wears best of the clothes. On the other hand, the other boy is always wearing casual clothes, collects fuel and also keeps swimming in the village mud hole. This one always keeps on learning some kind of trade but the educated one is a victim of flattering.
I honestly don’t know because I honestly don’t know why I don’t know
I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.
<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.
"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant.
Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in. </span>

The phrase which must be revised to create parallel structure is, 'To not walk near the quicksand.'
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
Parallel structure is a literary device which is often used by writers and poets to create a smooth flow in writing. In parallel structure, same pattern of words are being used to indicate that all the ideas contains the same level of importance.
In the sentence, ‘The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear moccasins, and to not walk near the quicksand’ if we rephrase the last line after conjunction, then the sentence will become a parallel structure.
‘To not walk near the quicksand’ should be rephrased as ‘that he should not walk near the quicksand.’ So the sentence would be ‘The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear moccasins, and that he should not walk near the quicksand.’
