Answer:

  • The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
  • The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
  • The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the story "In a Native Village" by Louis Becke.

These are the options that come with this question:

  • The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
  • The narrator bribes the authorities to ensure that he has power and preference over the villagers.
  • The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
  • The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.
  • The narrator establishes a series of declarations and rules to assert authority over the villagers.

In this story, we learn about the experiences of a European man in an island off the coast of Australia. This man arrived to the village with a couple of prized pigs. This, as well as his wealth, is meant to establish him as a leader in the community. However, contrary to expectations, the men in the island do not respect him. Moreover, they constantly trick him and take advantage of him. This shows that the narrator's power over the natives is only an illusion.

Please help me with this. (Subordinating Conjunction)
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Please check my work. This all seems right to me, but I'd check it anyways. I really hope this helps! I put the words in quotes to find them easier.

Explanation:

My uncle told me he had a surprise! It will be

revealed "as soon as" 1 pm.

"Once" I heard about the surprise, I jumped out of bed and got ready for the day.

"Since" I was busy getting ready, I tried to keep guessing what the surprise could be!

We immediately got into the car so we could

arrive at the surprise on time.

We left to drive to the surprise "even though"

we were all packed into the car.

I keep trying to make guesses of what the surprize could be "till" we arrived. Just as we pullout into a large parking lot, I saw a big train! I asked my uncle if we were going on a train ride "Though" he was parking his car "Whereas" he could say anything else. I knew that the surprise was a nice in a cool train. I heard a conductor blow his whistle and holler. "All aboard!" We ran to make sure we hopped onto the train

before it left "Although" we did not have running shoes on. We had a wonderful time and meet many fun people.​
