Read the statement below, then decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be prepared to support your opinion with details fr

om the story. Here's your discussion prompt:
When Conrad uses the phrase "the noble cause" to describe colonialism, he is being sarcastic.

"No doubt he was; but he had been a couple of years already out there engaged in the noble cause, you know, and he probably felt the need at last of asserting his self-respect in some way."

Answer: I agree.

Explanation:

In the sentence when he says ''you know'' we are getting the feeling of sarcasm by him. Since the colonialism is about authority and dominance over the people or locations, it cannot be noble.

It is referring to the interests of one or more person and it is not a benign thing.

Although it is about ''self-respect in some way'' the dominance over someone isn't justified and people are aware of it, that is why I think that he was sarcastic.

1. Which sentence from the article explains WHY most students thought there would not be a prom this year?
g100num [7]

Hello. Unfortunately you did not comment on the article to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

To answer this question, you must first read the article to which the question refers. Then you need to identify which element caused the students to think that there would be no prom, that is, you need to identify for what reason, there would be a possibility that this ball would not happen. That reason was what provoked the students' thinking and is the answer to your question. For example: The city may have gone through a natural disaster, the graduation class suffered a huge loss, there was not enough money to organize the ball, among others.
