Answer: I would contend that the right answers are accomplishment and hope.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that different types of fish have a special significance in Chinese culture. The carp has traditionally be seen as a symbol of success and advancement through hard work and determination. By giving the carp to the school kitchen where he was the principal on the day when his daughter was born, the father might be symbolically wishing (hope) for his offspring' advancement (accomplishment), and, by extension, for the advancement of the students and the teachers.

Answer:

It is Accomplishment or Death

Explanation:

It could be Accomplishment because the father caught a twenty-pound carp that feeds the students and teachers. The answer could also be Death because if the Carp never died then the students and teachers would never have got to eat the fish.

grandymaker [24]

Mrs. Hale is the most sympathetic to Minnie Wright because she knows about Minnie's unhappy marriage to Mr. Wright. Her sympathy is also evident when Mrs. Hale asks Mrs. Peters to lie to Minnie about her preserves. Mrs Hale tells Peter, " If I was you, I wouldn't tell her her fruit was gone. Tell her it ain't. Tell her it's all right. Take this in to prove it to her. She—she may never know whether it was broke or not."

Is this short enough?

Which of the following was an object of critique in the works of the "Lost Generation" of writers?
777dan777 [17]

The correct answer is the following: <em>option c. Materialism was an object of critique in the works of the "Lost Generation" of writers.</em>  Gertrude Stein was an American novelist from the 1920's that coined the term "Lost Generation" using it as a reference to the lack of purpose that young people had at that time, as a consequence of the World War I. The term then became popular to represent the group of authors and poets of the 1920's as their work represented the feelings the World had at those times. One of the main themes The Lost Generation wrote about was about materialism, and how many people became reckless spenders, obsessed with material objects  and throwing parties on a constant as all their moral ideals had been killed by the War. Famous authors from these movement are Ernest Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald.
