It was a sunny afternoon<u> </u><em><u>in late October</u></em><em> </em>(prep=adv). Muriel and I had decided to check properties for sale in the countryside. We had always enjoyed toying with the idea of<em> </em><em><u>finding</u></em><u> </u><u>(np)</u> the perfect place<u> </u><u><em>to live </em></u><em>(</em>inf=adj). So we got into the car <u><em>to start as soon as possible</em></u><u> </u>(inf=adv). <u><em>After driving</em></u> (part) for hours we reached the spot, a stretch of fields forgotten <u><em>in the middle of nowhere. </em></u>(prep=adj). We had been told about this lonely place by my uncle Bob<em>, </em><u><em>the hermit</em></u><em> </em>(app).<u><em>To be </em></u><em>standing there in the absolute silence </em>(inf=n) of the place was unnerving. <em>We could hear the blades of grass rustling against each other and smell the strong stench of cows grazing nearby.</em> (compound)<em>Never had we been away from the city or felt the isolation of a rural area for this reason we rushed back to the car and drove back to our apartment as fast as we could.</em> (compound-complex).
Answer:
Black musicians had to face racial segregation, racism and the artistic devaluation of their work.
Explanation:
During the Harlem Renaissance, jazz became a very popular song in the black community. The black musicians were brilliant and extremely talented and were able to compose exciting and completely admirable music. Over time, this song started to please the white US elect who started to hire black musicians to play in bars and restaurants. However, blacks were not allowed in these places because of the great racism and social segregation that were established in America. The white elite, however, allowed black musicians to enter these places so that they could entertain white guests with music, which was not artistically valued, but seen as mere entertainment and a way to keep blacks working for whites.
This question is missing the options. I've found them online; they are the following:
Which word best describes Annie in this excerpt?
A. intelligent
B. reckless
C. confident
D. polite
Answer:
The word that best describes Annie in this excerpt is:
C. confident
Explanation:
Let's take a look at the following line from the excerpt:
<em>ANAGNOS: Annie, be- humble. It is not as if you have so many offers to pick and choose.</em>
<u>It is the line above that reveals what we need to know about Annie. Anagnos is telling her to be humble because, at this moment, she sounds overly confident. She even says she only has trouble when she is right, and that she is not the one to blame if she has trouble so often. Annie's confidence is actually quite close to becoming arrogance. She is willing to behave, but Anagnos still feels the need to tell her to be humble.</u>
