Answer:

He characterized the American Negro Slave as unique of all the black slaves of the world because his identity was impossible to trace unlike the other slaves like the Haitians who could trace their origin to some African kings.

Explanation:

James Baldwin in Paragraph 17 of his essay, 'Stranger in the Village', mentioned that the American Negro Slave was unique of all the black slaves in the world because while the other Slaves could still trace their identities down to somewhere, the American Negro Slave could only trace his identity to the bill of sale which was the entrance paper of his forebears into the American society.

Some Haitians could trace their origin to some African kings but that was quite difficult for an American Negro slave to do. Thus, came his search for his identity within the American society.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: Hamlet finally made a decision and acted on it, which he had not been able to do up to this point.

Hamlet's tragic flaw is his indecisiveness. Throughout the play, we see that Hamlet is struggling to come to terms with the decisions he has to make, particularly, deciding whether to avenge his father's death or not. This excerpt is a turning point for Hamlet, as he finally decides to attack the person he believes to be Claudius. He is mistaken, however, and ends up killing Polonius. Nevertheless, it is the first moment in which Hamlet has made a choice and acted on it, and therefore a significant event in the development of the character.

"What" and "who" are examples of blank pronouns
USPshnik [31]
<span>A pronoun is a word, which we use instead of a noun, usually to avoid boring repetitions. For example, in the following sentence, I am going to swap the word "pronouns" for the word "them", simply because you will get bored if I fill each sentence with the word "pronoun". There are various forms of them.

Subject pronouns: I, You, He, She, It, We, You, They

Object pronouns: Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, You, Them

Possessive pronouns: Mine, Yours, His, Hers, Its, Ours, Yours, Theirs

Relative pronouns: Which, whose, that, where, when....etc...

I could go on, but I reckon you get the idea now. Ironically, the word "pronoun" is actually a noun.

So the answer yes
