Answer:

Designed to inflict punishment.

Explanation:

The word "punitive" means an act that is meant to punish, reprimand, or inflicted with some pain or revenge, etc. This means that it is more connected to the act of being punished or given harsh dealings.

In the given passage, the word "punitive" is used in such a way that it is suggestive of the punishment the British inflicted or want to inflict on the African nation. Britain organized an expedition with the intention of inflicting punishment as revenge for the killing of the British delegates in what is termed as the "Benin Disaster".

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is A) It contrasts uniform society with Equality 7-2521’s vivid thoughts and feelings.

Explanation:

<u>Even though Equality has adopted some social conventions of this collectivist society (such as using only "we" as a personal pronoun, without the individualist "I"), he still manages to retain the only part of himself that nobody can take away - his vivid thoughts, observation, and imagination.</u> Of course, he can only unveil those thoughts in his secret diary, but he hasn't lost them altogether.

The members of the Council, on the other hand, are silent, cold, and devoid of any observable emotions. Their language is laconic (concise, using a bare minimum of words without any speech ornaments such as imagery). It's as if all five of them are identical, with the only difference being the gender.
