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.

What does this quote mean to you?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think this is what a person with a very low self esteem would say. Someone with insecurity issues too. Because why else will one be so bugged about trivial things, going as far as saying they deserve little. I'd give an unsolicited advise the person should stop worrying about public acceptance and just be themselves. There's almost no metric to measure anything when it comes to the things people claim they do or the ones that actually do. The best is to not be bothered by them, and put in your best, I believe the person would come back smiling ultimately

Someone coughing in the audience or walking in late during a presentation are examples of what element in the speech communicati
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

D). Interference.

Explanation:

'Interference' in general terms is associated with 'obstructing or intervening in between a particular action or process. In 'speech communication process', it is described as the active or passive obstruction created by the audience that  often leads to break the flow and concentration of the speaker.

As per the question, 'coughing or walking of the audience' in the middle of a presentation would be exemplified as 'interference' because it would distract the speaker as well as other people sitting in the audience and obstruct their attention which may break the flow of ideas collaboratively and coherently. It would also affect their concentration that may <u>influence the readers' understanding(by blocking their capacity to receive the intended message) of the message or idea and therefore, the desired impact would not be evoked.</u> Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Consider the issues of drug &amp; alcohol use, gambling. Are these examples of personal vices that should be left up to the deci
andrezito [222]
The above should be personal vices, and the person who made their decision should be the one that has to deal with the choices they made.  As long as they are following other laws that are in place, there is nothing wrong with alcohol use or gambling.  As for drug use, the main drug that comes to mind is marijuana, in this case, if the drug helps in assisting MEDICAL NEEDS, or is provided to someone of age who understands the possible consequences, it should be legal.

How is the motif of “nature” developed throughout the short story “The Interlopers?”
olasank [31]

Answer:

Nature is presented as superior to humans in all inevitability in the text.

Explanation:

When the text beings, the two brothers treat nature as something they can easily control as they wish to but as it progresses, the strife between the brothers begins to culminate. It represents the infighting between humans.

Von Gradwitz and Znaeym eventually lose to the nature, not to each other as they fought for a narrow strip of forest for so long.

They remain the true interlopers of the story and the nature triumphs as something that cannot be overcome by any man.
