Hello. You forgot to provide the necessary text for this question to be answered. In addition, you forgot to enter the answer options.

1. The text is:

It would be hard to find a man who lived in his work as did Akaky Akakyevitch. To say that he was zealous in his work is not enough; no, he loved his work. In it, in that copying, he found a varied and agreeable world of his own. There was a look of enjoyment on his face; certain letters were favorites with him, and when he came to them he was delighted; he chuckled to himself and winked and moved his lips, so that it seemed as though every letter his pen was forming could be read in his face. If rewards had been given according to the measure of zeal in the service, he might to his amazement have even found himself a civil counsellor; but all he gained in the service, as the wits, his fellow clerks, expressed it, was a buckle in his buttonhole and a pain in his back. It cannot be said, however, that no notice had ever been taken of him.

One director, being a good-natured man and anxious to reward him for his long service, sent him something a little more important than his ordinary copying; he was instructed from a finished document to make some sort of report for another office; the work consisted only of altering the headings and in places changing the first person into the third. This cost him such an effort that it threw him into a regular perspiration: he mopped his brow and said at last, "No, better let me copy something."

From that time forth they left him to go on copying forever. It seemed as though nothing in the world existed for him outside his copying. He gave no thought at all to his clothes; his uniform was—well, not green but some sort of rusty, muddy color. And there were always things sticking to his uniform, either bits of hay or threads; moreover, he had a special art of passing under a window at the very moment when various rubbish was being flung out into the street, and so was continually carrying off bits of melon rind and similar litter on his hat.

He had never once in his life noticed what was being done and going on in the streets, all those things at which, as we all know, his colleagues, the young clerks, always stare, carrying their sharp sight so far even as to notice any one on the other side of the pavement with a trouser strap hanging loose—a detail which always calls forth a sly grin. Whatever Akaky Akakyevitch looked at, he saw nothing anywhere but his clear, evenly written lines, and only perhaps when a horse's head suddenly appeared from nowhere just on his shoulder, and its nostrils blew a perfect gale upon his cheek, did he notice that he was not in the middle of his writing, but rather in the middle of the street

2: The answer options are:

A. This cost him such an effort that it threw him into a regular perspiration: he mopped his brow and said at last, "No, better let me copy something."

B. He gave no thought at all to his clothes; his uniform was—well, not green but some sort of rusty, muddy color.

C. There was a look of enjoyment on his face; certain letters were favorites with him, and when he came to them he was delighted. . . .

D. One director, being a good-natured man and anxious to reward him for his long service, sent him something a little more important than his ordinary copying.

Answer:

A. This cost him such an effort that it threw him into a regular perspiration: he mopped his brow and said at last, "No, better let me copy something."

Explanation:

As you can see in the text above, Akaky worked making copies and that was something he loved to do because it was an activity that he was used to and that made him comfortable and happy. However, one day, Akaky's boss assigns him a different and very simple task to do, however Akaky has such a difficulty in adapting to this task that he begins to perspire and asks to return to copying activities, showing that he is unable to adapt to new situations.

APA:

According to Mandela (2010), in politics many of the individuals who work in these offices or fields experience insistent and pragmatic obstacles, and because of this, many are sleep deprived and are impeded with self-guiding introspection. Thus, the outcomes involving such behaviors only contribute to many of these politicians', bound to exhibit such errors, these errors then are inevitable for most of these individuals. Although, some sectors like the armchair politicians are the only ones protected if errors are done. But other politicians are bound to answer cases.

Write a speech on Obesity : A Curse
Alexus [3.1K]

When constructing a speech, the thing to keep in mind is there are three main parts—an introduction, the body, and the conclusion.  In the introduction, you’ll want to have an attention getter that draws the audience in.  One way to do this if speaking about Obesity: A Curse is to, perhaps, mention a shocking statistic or even an anecdote.  Then (think of a speech like an essay where you’ll have a thesis statement), preface the speech by mentioning the three points you’ll discuss.  Then, in the order you mention your three points, discuss the points in one paragraph each for the body mentioning your strongest point last and second strongest first.  After that, with your conclusion recap all of the points mentioned and have a call to action for the audience or even a “what if” scenario if obesity is not addressed.
