Camille is taking notes on "A Simple Way to Create Suspense." Like the old cartoon of the big fish eating a smaller fish eating

a very small fish, you’ll find out the big answer after a string of smaller drip-drip-drip answers. The big answer is parceled out slowly and parsimoniously. I remember doing that in "Killing Floor,” my first novel featuring Jack Reacher, a drifter and ex-military policeman. Something weird is happening in a small Georgia town. O.K., great, but what? Well, it seems to be something to do with money. Fine, but what exactly? Well, it seems to be about getting hold of perfect blank paper for counterfeiting purposes. Wonderful, but where the heck are they getting it? Which will be most helpful as Camille re-reads her notes to find the central idea of this paragraph? Lee Child = author Jack Reacher ;Fish, drips = answers; Big answer should come slowly; Blank paper to print mone

Answer: Big answer should come slowly.

The main idea of the passage is that, when writing a story and trying to create suspense, the "big answer" should come slowly. Option A is not particularly useful as the information can probably be obtained by just looking at the title of the text. Option B will not very clear helpful if Camille forgets the purpose of this metaphor. Finally, option D is relevant for the actual <em>Jack Reacher</em> novel, but not for the text on how to write suspense.

Read the lines below from Chapter 16 and answer the question.
AnnZ [28]

The correct answers are options B and D. In the Igbo clan in Africa, the efulufus were considered as worthless, empty men. They were the first converts among the outcasts attracted to Christianity.

In the Igbo tribes, there were some outcasts like twins, some of whom were killed at birht and also people with terrible diseases like leprosy  who were abandoned and casted out of the villages. They were mistreated and left aside.

In consequence, during the early Christianization of Igboland by the white Europeans, the new faith attracted the outcasts of the clans as they found that the new religion welcomed twins and people who were in the margins of community.

The efulufu were the first to embrace all the aspects of Western education and, ironically, became the ruling class of civil servants and administrators in colonial and postcolonial Eastern Nigeria. Not only efulufus left their own people's traditions and religion to join Europeans, but also fought on the side of the imperial power against their own Igbo people.

Answer:

Jack is respectable and kind while Algernon is selfish and witty.

Explanation:

A central purpose of the scene between Algernon and Lane is to lay the foundation for the joke about the cucumber sandwiches, an incident that marks the first appearance of food as a source of conflict as well as a substitute for other appetites. Algernon has ordered some cucumber sandwiches especially for Lady Bracknell, but during the scene with Lane, he absentmindedly eats all the sandwiches himself. In this particular scene, food substitutes for the idea of sex. Algernon’s insatiable appetite, his preoccupation with food, and his habit of wantonly indulging himself politely suggest other forms of voraciousness and wanton self-indulgence. This idea becomes apparent in the early exchange between Algernon and Jack over the question of whether Jack should eat cucumber sandwiches or bread and butter. Here, Algernon interprets eating as a form of social, even sexual, presumption. Algernon can eat the cucumber sandwiches because he’s Lady Bracknell’s blood relation, but Jack, who hardly knows Lady Bracknell, should stay away from them. When Jack demonstrates too much enthusiasm for the bread and butter, Algernon reproaches him for behaving as though he were “married to [Gwendolen] already,” as though he had touched her in an aggressive or salacious manner.
