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.

select the letter of the correct answer what is the cause and effect relationship that takes place in the article
jek_recluse [69]

Hello. You did not submit the article to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to find the cause and effect relationship in the article, after reading it. In that case, you should look in the text for the moment when a situation happens as a result of another situation. Therefore, the text must show an element (cause) which, when it happened, caused the creation of another element (effect).
