What angers the townspeople the most when the king is selling the Wilks’ slaves is that:

He separates parents and children in the sale.

 

Separating the parents and children in the sale is a strategy that they thought of to sell the slaves faster. However, the girls found breaking up the family insensitive – which made them upset. There were also a lot of the townspeople who disapproved at separating the families, but the men were still firm on doing it.

The proper answer is “C. He separates parents children in the sale.”


You are referencing a scene from _The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ where slaves that once belonged to the now-deceased Peter Wilks are being sold off by the King and Duke.  The fact that the slaves are being sold is not what gets people angry.   What angers people is that the family of slaves is broken up in order to have the sold faster separately than they would have been had they been sold together as a family.

The words geology, georgic, and geode share a common root word. Based on that root word, what do all three words have in common?
Andre45 [30]

The correct answer is A. Earth

Explanation:

A root word is a word by itself which can be combined with suffixes and prefixes to create new words, thus root words cannot be shortened but by adding other words or letter before or after them new words are created by mixing the meaning of the root word and the word, syllable or letter added. The words geology, georgic and geode have a common root word which is geo and which is combined with different suffixes such as -logy, -ergic and -de to create new words. The root word geo derives from Greek and means earth, ground or land, as mentioned before the root word is combined with suffixes to create new meanings in this way -logy means the science or study of something which means geology is the study of earth or land; -ergic means produce by, which means georgic is a poem produced or inspired by land (agriculture ) and the suffix -ede means separation which is links to geode definition which is a formation of rocks. Thus, the root word geology, georgic, and geode share is "geo" which means Earth.
