Answer:

C). Both use flashback to provide crucial background to the characters' situation.

Explanation:

Literary techniques play a vital role in creating the desired impact and elicit an intended response from the audience.

As per the question, both the stories 'Gumption' by Langston Hughes and 'To Build a Fire' authored by Jack London's employ 'flashback technique to indicate the background and context of the story in association to the characters' situation' that assists the readers to have a background or context of how the events are associated which serves them to provide a comprehensive understanding of the story.

<u>The former('Gumption') provides the context of the consequences(in the form of fallback) of the Depression Era while the latter('To Build a Fire') details of the background events('old man's advice) that were disregarded by man led him to 'freeze to death'</u>. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

The answer is: because.

Because introduces a reason. As a consequence, the school's financial plan will not be influenced by the program owing to the fact that the money comes from donations and federal grants.

The rest of the options are incorrect because <em>before </em>refers to a preceding time period or in preference to, and <em>however </em>and <em>although </em>present a contrast.

Which of the following can be inferred from the dialogue between mother and father in Freeman's story "The Revolt of 'Mother'"?
zhannawk [14.2K]

<span>There is tension in Sarah and Adoniram’s relationship. </span>

<span>
The story is set in the late 1800s, the society was a patriarchy one, meaning that women had no value. A woman (and a mother) had to only worry about keeping the house clean, cook,  etc. Sarah and Adoniram’s relationship was tense, just as many others during this time. </span>

<span>
In “The Revolt of Mother”, Sarah is angry at her husband because, instead of building the house he’s been promising her for forty years, he’s building a barn for the cows. Despite her attempts to start a conversation with him, he completely ignored her, as he thought she, being a woman, wasn’t valuable enough to talk with about future plans. </span>

<span>
One day, when Adoniram left town for work, Sarah decided to build up her courage and stand up against her husband. Their son is described as a younger version of Adoniram and their daughter was soon to be married. Sarah wanted to set an example for her kids, she wanted to demonstrate that they have to stand up for themselves, so that day she moved all their belongings into the barn (which was much bigger and nicer than the house they were living in) and the cows into their old house. When Adoniram had returned and he had seen with this own eyes that his wife was giving orders he started crying , saying, “I hadn’t no idee you was so set on’t as all this comes to”. </span>
