This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai and then answer the question. The strangers leaped out of their boats and pulled them up on the small beach. By signs, they made it clear the castaways should climb aboard. The fishermen exchanged frightened glances and whispered to one another, "What about Denzo and Jusuke?" Gesturing, Manjiro communicated to the strangers about the two men in the cave. Denzo and Jusuke were retrieved, both of them so weak they had to be carried to the boats. Everyone found a place and the sailors shoved off. The two boats rowed away from the island toward an unknown future. The sun flickered on the restless waves just as it always did. The wind blew just as steadily as it always had. Yet everything had changed. They had been rescued from the island, only to be taken captive by barbarians. Manjiro stared at the strangers when he thought they weren’t looking. Sometimes he caught them staring at him when they thought he wasn’t looking.

What do the details in this excerpt help readers to infer about the barbarians?

A)They are just as mean and monstrous as the fishermen expect them to be.

b) They are suspicious creatures who seem to be from a place other than Earth.

c) They have a plan to humiliate the fishermen and are waiting for the right time.

d) They are just as curious about the fishermen as the fishermen are about them.

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) They are just as curious about the fishermen as the fishermen are about them.

Explanation:

By reading this extract we can see how the fishermen were caught by the barbarians. We cannot say for sure that they were evil creatures who wanted to harm fishermen as there is no evidence of this in this text.

But what we can say is that both the fishermen and the barbarians were curious about each other. We can deduce this by the following line:

<em>"Manjiro stared at the strangers when I thought they weren't looking. Sometimes I caught them staring at him when they thought I wasn't looking." </em>

This exchange of glances shows us that they were both curious.

valina [46]

Answer:

answer is in exaplation

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from The Crisis, Number I, by Thomas Paine.

"Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but 'to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,' and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth."

Which is the best way to paraphrase this excerpt?

Britain has oppressed the colonist in many ways

Read the excerpt from a summary of Common Sense.

[1] Thomas Paine states that to talk of friendship with Britain is unwise. [2] Relations between the countries are steadily declining, and he is certain that they will not improve. [3] Paine concludes that reconciliation is not possible because some injuries are unforgivable. [4] Paine's logic is indisputable; without his words, America might have remained subject to British rule to this day.

Which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective?

Sentence 4

Read the excerpt from a summary of the Declaration of Independence.

[1] The Declaration of Independence is beautifully written. [2] Jefferson argues that everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. [3] It is a government's job to protect these rights. [4] When a government fails, Jefferson asserts that the people can overthrow their government.

Which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective?

sentence 1

Read the summary of the first three paragraphs of "The World On Turtle's Back."

[1] In the beginning, there was no land, only the great ocean. [2] The Sky-World, the home of the gods, was above the ocean. [3] A sacred tree stood at the center. [4] One of the gods pulled out some of its roots for his pregnant wife. [5] This created a hole in the floor of the Sky-World. [6] The man's wife fell through the hole toward the ocean below, clutching the roots in her hand.
