1 in 4 indians died during the journey.
Answer:
A). It is biased.
Explanation:
The credibility of the given passage by Columbus can be questioned as it offers a biased representation of the inhabitants. <em><u>This prejudice is evident from the use of descriptive words like 'timid, full of terror, guileless, liberal, etc.' which imposes the author's feelings and opinions on to the readers</u></em>. A text is characterized as credible when it offers an objective representation of the topic with sufficient evidences to support his/her claim. But here the author merely passes his judgment without any evidence to back it which shows the bias. This puts the trustworthiness of the content in question. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Answer: the state of being subject to death
Answer: d.The length of these elements reflects and stresses the importance of the speakers' actions.
Explanation:
The poem <em>We Real Cool</em> by <em>Gwendolyn Brooks</em> speaks of the actions of a what we can assume are a group of teenagers. They skip school, they play pool, they stay out late and they drink strong liquor and so they think they are cool but know they will die soon.
We learn all these from very short lines and stanzas which were done that way to stress the importance of the actions of the teenagers. Gwendolyn Brooks did not want the actions of the speaker to be lost in a lot of words but instead wanted the actions of the speaker to be well pronounced such that the reader understands the impact that the actions of the speaker could have on them.
