Read the excerpt below and answer the question. HALLY: That's perfectly correct. You see, you mustn't get the wrong idea about m

e and my Dad, Sam. We also have our good times together. Some bloody good laughs. He's got a marvelous sense of humor. Want to know what our favorite joke is? He gives out a big groan, you see, and says: "It's not fair, is it, Hally?" Then I have to ask; "What, chum?" And then he says: "A n****r's ar*e" . . . and we both have a good laugh. (The men stare at him in disbelief.) What's the matter, Willie? Don't you catch the joke? You always were a bit slow on the uptake. It's what's called a pun. You see, fair means both light in color and to be just and decent. (He turns to Sam.) I thought you would catch it, Sam. Why does Hally tell this joke to Sam and Willie?
A to make Sam and Willie laugh
B to explain to Willie what a pun is
C to hurt Sam and Willie with a racist joke
D to show the culture of white South Africans

Answer:

D to show the culture of white South Africans

Explanation:

Hally initially tells this joke so that she can show Sam and Willie that the relationship between him and his dad wasn't always bad. However, the joke really shows the culture of white South Africans. Telling this joke shows the naivete of Hally in how he views the joke as appropriate to tell around Sam and Willie. This shows the culture of white South Africans and how they viewed black people.

The sentence that suggests the narrator does not closely monitor Bar.tleby's performance after hiring him is given below.

<h3>What is the evidence that the lawyer didn't do thorough background checks on Bar.tleby?</h3>

The textual evidence is as follows;

"The Lawyer asks him: "What earthly right have you to stay here? Do you pay any rent? Do you pay any taxes? Or is this property yours?"

Bar.tleby makes no response, and the Lawyer becomes resigned to the idea that Bar.tleby will simply haunt his office, doing nothing.

The Lawyer believes he is doing a good, Christian thing by allowing Bar.tleby to continue existing in his office."

<h3>Who is Bar.tleby?</h3>

From the text "Bar.tleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street", Bar.tleby is an old scrivener at The Lawyer's office, Turkey. He is cheerful and productive until midday, when he gets dru.nk, grumpy, and basically worth.less.

We never discover his full name since The Lawyer only refers to him by his nickname. A twelve-year-old assistant in the legal office.

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."
fredd [130]

Answer:

wants Rainsford to survive the hunt

Explanation:

In this short excerpt, it shows a suggestion, friendly request, and advice. This could be helpful for Rainsford. Even though, the general is cynical and makes fun of the accident he knows that this is useful and needs to tell him to avoid this place.

He describes this place with its name and gives a hint that it is not a place to go. His story has an idea that Death Swamp is a bad place, not safe for people and animals. This is his contribution to a dialog with Mr. Rainsford.

Do you remember the saying “I plead the fifth!”? This means that you cannot be charged for the same crime twice, also known as double jeopardy. This is important because it would be unfair to charged double for the same thing you were charged with last time
