Answer:
The speaker in “An Obstacle” and Emma Watson share determination and seriousness.
Explanation:
Ema Watson is a world-known feminist who is not afraid of expressing her opinion. She knows that gender inequity is a very important topic to discuss so she is pleading for people to fight against this issue.
Her speech and poem have similarities, as the poet talks about women's problems in her time, while Emma opened up the topic about inequity, and what do women confront in everyday life.
Standing up for your right is a very important topic of the poem and in Emma's speech she points out the importance of equity between men and women in every part of life.
9/11 had this impact on Farah and her mother as the terrorist attack created a distrust for those of different nationalities.

B. It goes from sleepy to frantically busy for a short time.
Explanation:
In Life on the Mississippi, Mark Twain details the narrator’s coming of age through the process of learning to be a steamboat pilot, which fulfilled his boyhood dream.
Twain describes Hannibal, Missouri, sometimes as a village and sometimes as a town. It is a very rural, sleepy, quaint place.
He says, 'And the fragrant town drunkard asleep in the shadow of them', 'but nobody to listen to the peaceful lapping of the wavelets against them,' 'a white town drowsing in the sunshine of summer's morning, the streets empty.'
Themselves
This reflexive pronoun is the best fit because it needs to agree with the antecedent--in this case "scholars". Because scholars is plural, the pronoun also needs to be plural. Themselves is a plural reflexive pronoun, so it will properly complete the sentence.
