Answer:

Regret.

Explanation:

The Russian short story "Forbidden Fruit" by Fazil Iskander tells the story of the young narrator fell upon the <em>"forbidden fruit"</em>, which in his case, is eating pork. Though commanded by his religious dictates, the narrator finds himself in conflict with his knowledge of his sister's consumption of pork and the need to stay loyal to his religious belief, the need to gain favor from his parents.

In the given passage from the story, the narrator seems to regret his past action of betraying and revealing his sister's secret of <em>"eating pork at Uncle Shura's house"</em>. No matter the treachery, he accepts that nothing can justify it the way he had done. And now that he's also taken to eating <em>"pork like everyone else"</em>, it seems to convey no happiness in him, just regret at the insensitive and wrong way of dealing things.

Answer:

C) Anybody rather not chance a search?

Explanation:

From the excerpt, the sentence that adds the most suspense was "Anybody rather not chance a search?".

It's clear that from the excerpt, Ellery is a law enforcement officer or someone that is keen to catch a thief or make a discovery of sorts so the following monologue takes place, "Sorry I can't produce the thief with a flick of my wrist, the way it's done in books, but in real life, detection — like crime — is pretty unexciting stuff. We'll begin with a body search. It's voluntary, by the way. Anybody rather not chance a search? Raise your hand".

From the monologue above, Ellery is trying to solve a crime and he decided to do a body search of the most immediate suspects and the sentence that adds the most suspense was asking if anyone would object to a search. At this point, it is clear that anyone that objects to a search is the prime suspect because you won't object to a search if you don't have something to hide. It is also worthy of note that after asking if anybody objected to a body search, nobody responded.

This can be inferred to mean that everyone was scared not to be the first to object to a body search so as not to be seen as the prime suspect.

Writing a Postcard.
spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

This is an example of how to write a post card with the information in the instructions. Feel free to change the place so that it will be more realistic:

Dear …,

Here I am, up north, to finally see the Niagara Falls! I told you this day would come!

We arrived a couple of days ago and, although the trip itself has been nice, the weather has been nasty – rainy and windy. Yesterday, since it was raining cats and dogs, we had to stay at the hotel. The rooms are bigger than I expected. The beds are comfortable, and they keep it all very clean, which you know is one of my pet peeves.

Today, we will finally go see the Falls. I’m writing this as I wait for the others at the reception. After finishing our tour there, we will have dinner to celebrate the safe trip.

And how are things with you? What’s the weather like in London right now? Write to me soon!

How many dogs are cats
jekas [21]

Answer:

How many dogs are cats? That doesn't make sense, but okay. There aren't any dogs that are cats. Dogs are decents from wolves, whereas cats are decents from tigers and lions. Dogs and cats are no where related.
