Baldwin not only describes how white people hate black people, but also shows why black people carry the same act. At one point in his book, he writes: “I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.” It is the representation of a post-hate state: the hate is gone, but the process continues - the person suffers the consequences of his acts after realizing what he has done. The correct answer is B.

Based on the essay, compare the dreams of the author and her mother. Support your answer with relevant and specific details from
Orlov [11]

Answer:

In the essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer presents the same yet different dreams of the mother-daughter duo. While both seemed to wish for the same wish of the ability of flight, their objectives behind the wish are not that similar.

Explanation:

In Judith Ortiz Cofer's essay <em>"Volar"</em>, she mentioned in the first paragraph her own dreams of having superpowers, like her hero Supergirl. Then, she would <em>"would get on tip-toe, arms outstretched in the position for flight and jump out my fifty-story-high window into the black lake of the sky [....] and look inside the homes of people who interested me</em>". She believed herself to be the same as the fictional superhero, but waking up to the same <em>"tiny bedroom [....] back in my body: my tight curls still clinging to my head, skinny arms and legs . . . unchanged"</em>.

The second paragraph focuses on the parents who would have their "<em>time</em>" before she was woken up by her mother <em>"exactly forty-five minutes after they had gotten up"</em>. The mother wishes to visit her relatives, her <em>"familia on the Island"</em> or go to the beach and have a vacation. And in a loving manner, these propositions will be brought down by her husband. And right before she went to wake up her daughter, she;'d say <em>"Ay, si yo pudiera volar"</em> which is basically meant to say she wish she could fly.

In a way, both the mother and the daughter seem to have the same desire of flight as their wish, though they may also differ in their objective. The mother's wish was to be able to get to her "<em>familia</em>" while the young daughter’s wish was to escape from her reality and be a superhero like her idol Supergirl.

Which sentence shows best tbat the writer is aware of the appropriate tone for the audience?
Marina CMI [18]

The correct answer is A. Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully.

Explanation

The tone of a sentence is the name given to the intonation and how an idea is expressed. the speaker separates his thoughts using pauses or silences and by variations in the tone of voice; in written language, these pauses and variations in pitch are generally represented by the period (.) and, sometimes, by question marks (?), exclamation points (!) or by an ellipsis (...). Additionally, the tone can be modified with the words used towards another person, for example, the sentence "Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully" invites Anna to reflect on her decision and make her decisions more carefully, unlike the sentence "Anna-she's a girl who acts silly" because she has a more aggressive tone towards Anna and makes a value judgment on the situation by insulting the other person. Therefore, the sentence that shows the best tone of the writer is A. Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully.
