Answer:

<u>meant to intimidate colored South Africans</u>

Explanation:

We can make this conclusion because the text explains further the reasons for the use of such a phrase. Trevor Noah stated<em>,</em>

<em>"The most common colored slur was boesman...Because it called out their blackness, their primitiveness. The worst way to insult a colored person was to infer that they were in some way black."</em>

Because colored South Africans were born from parents of two different races, (one parent is black the other white) the phrase was used to create an intimidating effect in the minds of those affected.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Both men run back toward their camp to check on their sister.

Explanation:

Joseph and James Bruchac's short story "The Chenoo" is a folktale about a mythical creature that has a heart of ice and kills any man he comes across. And through the brave act of the three siblings, the "curse" on the monster was lifted and they got their grandfather back.

While her brothers went hunting, Nolka was at their tent preparing whatever game they brought back. On the day the brothers discovered the footprints of the Chenoo, she was unaware of it. So, once the brothers figured out that the prints were headed to their camp, they rushed back to their sister, fearing for the monster to kill her. This <u>act of rushing back shows the bond of family, the ties that bind them so strongly together</u>.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
