Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” That is all of my story, for then I knew he was a man—I knew then that they ha

d been men, neither gods nor demons. It is a great knowledge, hard to tell and believe. They were men—they went a dark road, but they were men. I had no fear after that—I had no fear going home, though twice I fought off the dogs and once I was hunted for two days by the Forest People. When I saw my father again, I prayed and was purified. He touched my lips and my breast, he said, "You went away a boy. You come back a man and a priest." I said, "Father, they were men! I have been in the Place of the Gods and seen it! Now slay me, if it is the law—but still I know they were men." How does the dialogue support the theme of the passage? The dialogue supports the theme that wisdom comes from obeying one’s parents, because it shows how the narrator has followed the same path as his father. The dialogue supports the theme that only the fittest survive, because it details how the narrator avoids being killed by the Forest People. The dialogue supports the theme that knowledge is gained by taking risks, because it illustrates that the narrator makes a discovery by breaking the rules. The dialogue supports the theme that learning the truth is not always easy, because it highlights that the narrator is upset by the idea that the gods were men.

The correct answer is C  <em>The dialogue supports the theme that knowledge is gained by taking risks, because it illustrates that the narrator makes a discovery by breaking the rules. </em>

It is justified because at the end the narrator says that his knowledge is against the law, a rule, so he must died because of that but the way he says it makes the reader feel like he does not actually care because he knows the truth. So the risk of breaking the law is compensated with knowing the truth about the gods.

Essay on slaughtering of cow in nepal​
Brut [27]

It seems that the BJP government’s decision to illegalise the sale of cattle for slaughter at animal markets has its roots in a PIL that quotes the five-yearly Gadhimai festival in Nepal, where thousands of buffaloes are taken from India to be sacrificed to ‘appease’ Gadhimai, the goddess of power.

The contradictions that emerge from cattle – here encompassing all bovines – slaughter rules in Nepal perplex many: despite being predominantly Hindu, animal sacrifice continues to be practised. Cow slaughter is explicitly prohibited even in Nepal’s new constitution since it is the national animal, yet the ritual sacrifice of buffaloes and the consumption of their meat is not frowned upon. There is also, in marked contrast to the Indian government’s blanket approach to cattle terminology, a lucid distinction between cows (both the male and female) and other ‘cattle’ species (such as buffaloes and yaks).

The emergence of this contradictory, often paradoxical, approach to cattle slaughter in Nepal is the result of a careful balancing act by the rulers of modern Nepal. The Shah dynasty and the Rana prime ministers often found themselves at a crossroads to explicitly define the rules of cattle slaughter. As rulers of a perceived ‘asal Hindu-sthan’, their dharma bound them to protect the cow – the House of Gorkha borrows its name from the Sanskrit ‘gou-raksha’ – but as they expanded into an empire, their stringent Brahminic rules came into conflict with des-dharma, or existing local customs, where cattle-killing was a norm. What followed was an intentionally ambiguous approach to cattle slaughter, an exercise in social realpolitik.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer is B. She is the person whom he had found sleeping in the library.

A. That author is the one who I saw at the bookstore today.

A would have been correct if it had the word 'whom' instead of who.

B. She is the person whom he had found sleeping in the library.

Its the correct option.

C. Against who did you think you would compete in the contest?

This word 'whom' is supposed to be used here in the place of who to make it correct.

D.  The musical group whom won the top prize are from my hometown.
