This question is missing the options and is, therefore, incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the two excerpts about Pilar from Dreaming in Cuban.

Excerpt 1: They called me brujita, little witch. I stared at them, tried to make them go away.

Excerpt 2: Another woman, an elderly mulatta, claimed that her hair was falling out from the menacing stares the baby gave her.

Which statement is the best synthesis for the two excerpts?

A. Most Cuban women rely on the services of nannies when raising their children.

B. Supernatural experiences are frequently dismissed as being coincidental in Cuban culture.

C. Inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture.

D. Many Cuban children remember the earliest events of their childhood.

Answer:

The statement which is the best synthesis for the two excerpts is:

C. Inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture.

Explanation:

"Dreaming in Cuban" is a novel by author Cristina García. It features three generations of a single family and the plot moves between the United States and Cuba. The two excerpts we are analyzing here show how superstition can play an important role in some countries' cultures. Both of them represent how inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture. Pilar is called by others a "little witch", and she tries to make them go away just with her stare. Besides that, a woman attributes her hair loss to the way a baby stares at her. Instead of trying to find plausible and realistic explanations for events, people seem to just assume, superstitiously.

Read the passage from “ by the waters of Babylon “ how does visiting the place of the gods affect the narrator
raketka [301]

Answer: B. He learns that there is nothing supernatural to fear in the destroyed city

Explanation:

<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>  is a short story by Stephen Vincent Benét. In this story, John, who is both the narrator and the protagonist, goes to the Place of the Gods. John is the son of a priest from the tribe of the Hill People.

John's visit to the Place of the Gods makes him realize that what he previously heard about this place is not true. The priests and other men described it as full of fog and enchantments, which is a lie. John sees for himself that this place is full of ruins and still suffers the effects of the Great Burning. After the visit, John was not scared of this place anymore. He realized that this used to be a city like any other, until it was hit by a disaster.
