The correct answer is B.

The description indicates the man is tough and rich. Tough because he has a square jaw and a scar above his eye. Rich because he has a diamond set into his scarfpin.

The other characteristics cannot be inferred based on this description.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>"He is stand-offish and keeps to himself".</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

After reading the excerpt from "After Twenty Years", the character can be inferred as "stand-offish and keeps to himself". This can be portrayed by his behaviour and his actions like lighting the cigar, showing the paleness in his eyes, and the scar near his eyebrows. The diamond which is stuck in the scarfpin shows that he has a status and is also rich. He keeps to himself because he lights the cigar on his own without concerning about others.

Oksanka [162]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

There will always be someone waiting round the corner to over power and defeat us if we are weak” Explain the above statement with reference to the poem “Wind”, by SUBRAMANIA BHARATI. How does the wind make fun of the weak?

Answer:

The idea that the wind makes fun of the weak appears in the poem through the description of the wind´s destruction capacity.

Explanation:

That destructive energy is a symbol of the difficulties people go through in life, a destruction that can have weak people breaking down, while stronger people can overcome the situation and become stronger. The wind, which is everywhere, resembles the possibility of someone defeating us if we are weak.

How can you encourage others to be more accepting of those who are different
nevsk [136]
Encouragement goes straight to the heart. In fact, the word itself comes from a combination of the prefix en which means "to put into" and the Latin root cor which means "heart". Knowing what a big difference encouragement makes in your own life, what can you do to help others to take heart when the going gets tough and the way feels long?
