The word sharpen is a word that leads you to believe you are talking about knives. It has nothing to do with knives.

A: implies the same thing. It just isn't so.

B: dull is also a term that is associated with knives. In this case, it is factually false (you want to "sharpen" something, not make it dull) and it is not to be associated with a knife. Don't choose B.

Sharpen your brain means that you become more agile in your thinking. None of the choices really says that. So you have to pick something that is the "best" choice of 4 very poor ones. I suppose C is the answer, but I'm holding my nose as I tell you this. (C as an answer stinks).

D is 1/2 true but you have to associate it with thinking.  I don't think there is a really good answer, but of those there, I would pick C.

What myths and fears were used to justify the lynching of black men?
densk [106]

Black men are being victimized because of the accusation that they raped white women, but of this there is no history, it was a motive that was used to justify the lynching. That blacks were inferior to whites and therefore there was justification for this society as a whole to be overthrown. Also because they were becoming a primitive race.

Read the following scene, and view the image that accompanies it.
vladimir2022 [97]

The major difference between the text and the image is that the text focuses on characters, while the image focuses on the setting.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The text attempts to show some of the characters that are present in the plot. The crew, as explained in the text, seem to be sulking due to their failed attempt at catching fishes on that particular day.

Furthermore, their captain yet reminds them that they shall be getting their share of the money based on the number of fishes they catch.

These particulars depict the characters that are present in the plot and their state of mind at that time.

Contrary to that, the image that is shown is that of a ship caught up in a mighty storm, showing the setting of the ship, and not the of the character's that are present in the ship

Hence this is the difference between the text and the image.
