Answer:
Assimilation
Explanation:
The given scenario is an example of cultural assimilation.
Cultural assimilation is a process in which a minority group or culture accepts the values, behaviors, and beliefs of a society's majority group or culture. Here, we have Funsai, who moved from Malawi to New Jersey. New Jersey is a city mostly populated by Americans who speak English and have values that are probably different from his own. However, he has begun to speak English more and more at school and at home, despite not having to speak it at home because his family knows Swahili. We can say that Funsai has begun assimilating.
The second option is the correct option.
When using the word “I” in situations like this, it must be capitalized.
To compare loneliness to an undesirable illness or disease that is difficult to cure.
He appears to be crafty when, which I assume is forgiving men, as it says, "He forgave sins easily...hoped to gain a little money...". And based on his profession, it seems inappropriate to [hang around those living in slum] and know all the taverns, inkeepers and barmaids. Also, when it says he arranged many women's marriages, it seems like he was somewhat romantically involved which is probably why he was so well loved. I mean, the author chose to only include many young women into the phrase. Overall, I believe the friar serves himself.
I haven't read the book, but it seems like he wants to earn Fortunato's trust so he can easily get his revenge in the end.
