Answer:
1. Tom was afraid, but he was sincere in his testimony.
2. He did not deny that he had any contact with Mayella, as she asked him to do favors for her.
3. He didn't deny that he was inside Mayella's house the night she was raped, but he was there to fix a door.
4. The testimony of tone contradicts that of Mayella.
5. Tom claims that Mayella held him inside the house, saying that he saved money so that the children could leave and leave them alone.
Explanation:
Tom's testimony is a tense moment in history. Firstly, because we can see Tom's nervousness and his concern in reporting what actually happened in a convincing way. Tom is sincere and narrates all the contact he had with Mayella and these interactions between them, he reinforces his own innocence and even if he shows information that contradicts Mayella's he is not absolved of the accusations.
The central theme of Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in Sieve is the religion. Religion is presented from secular point of view amidst in all the tragic consequences family faces and in all the moral and physical pains they suffer from. Therefore, it is rather paradoxical to find that the religion has been used from positive aspect. The use of theme amidst the tragic events shows author's cynic approach towards religion. For example, when Rukmani visits her mother, the author narrates her thoughts as:
"...and together we would pray and pray before deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven..."
Later in the novel, Rukmani describes Gods as not remote, not unheedful because they heard her son Kuti's cries and made her calm. However, it is not the praise of Gods because she later learns that Kuti's improvement was due to Ira's earning from prostitution.
