Which sentence from the passage builds tension? Lea's Load by B. K. McSwain "Lea! Did you eat the last apple I was going to use

to make us a pie? Don't you know there's a war going on?" her mother shouted out the window. Lea, sitting below on the apartment stoop, tossed an apple core into the bushes; yes, she knew there was a war going on. Ever since that German guy decided to invade Poland, there had been a war going on turning her life in Rome, Italy, inside out and upside down until she couldn't even eat an apple in peace. Lea grabbed the bucket and trudged to the custodian's closet for a mop with little consolation that her work efforts helped pay the rent while papa was away in the war. Fear inched up her spine as she opened the door to the dark, dank, and dusty room. She steeled herself to run in and run out when a movement in the corner caught her attention. Sunlight streamed in, shining a beacon on blonde hair that stuck up like thatch from a young man's head as he crouched, clothed in a tattered German uniform, with his arms wrapped around his knees, shaking and muttering. "What are you doing in here?" Lea demanded in her native Italian tongue. She knew some German from her schooling, so when the young man stuttered his reply, she understood him to say in his German tongue, "no more war," but his petrified, blue eyes pleaded better than his German could. Lea, seeing he was no more than 16 years, motioned him to stay and remain quiet. Sneaking up to her apartment, she heard her mother in the back rooms, so Lea stole into the kitchen and retrieved a long loaf of bread from the window sill. Swiftly cutting it lengthwise, she stuffed it with sliced salami and wrapped it in wax paper before placing it in her bucket to lug back to the fugitive. "Here," she offered the provender to him, and he bit into it ravenously. "Slow down! I don't know when I can get you more—this must last you days."

Is indigenous theatre important to showcase? why or why not?​
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

While only one's beliefs and opinions have the proper weight to anchor this question, in my opinion, absolutely. Not only does it bring the idea of culture into the societal equation, but it expands areas of knowledge that can't really be explained otherwise unless acted out. This also gives minorities the opportunity to act out history correlating to their culture.

Hope this helps! :)

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

A). Unconcerned about time.

Explanation:

Allen Ginsberg's poem 'A Supermarket in California' is one of his minor poems dealing with the variations in life(American) portrayed by Whitman and Ginsberg. The speaker visits a supermarket in California and fantasizes Whitman and Lorca shopping there which reflects Ginsberg's optimism.

From the given excerpt, the best inference would be that the speaker is 'unconcerned about the time' that reflects the inadequacy of interest and fret(as he keeps wandering around and imagining) . The speaker rather focuses on glorifying Whitman's bequest and legacy. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
