This question has no instructions, but it is possible to infer that we must choose the correct meaning for the phrase "dealt a blow to" in the sentence.

Answer:

The correct meaning of "dealt a blow to" is:

A. destroyed.

Explanation:

"To deal a blow to" is an expression that can be used both literally and figuratively. Literally, it means to hit or punch someone.

In the sentence we are analyzing here, it was used figuratively. There are two possible alternatives concerning its meaning: A. destroyed and D. weakened. Both express meanings that the expression could convey. However, we must take the context into consideration. According to it, the athlete was defeated, which most likely means he will not be defending his title at the championship. Depending on the sport, losing a match may simply mean losing your title. For that reason, the best option seems to be letter A. destroyed. His bitter defeat destroyed his hopes.

Hey guys, new user here. I just wanted to ask in Marrakech by George Orwell, what do the Arabs think of the Jews? Regards-Brian

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Arabs did not think about Jews and positively. Primarily because of any historical and social issue between them and because the "myth of the Aryan" had spread throughout Arab culture, promoting a negative outlook on Jews.

Explanation:

The problems between the Arabs and the Jews began since the end of the 19th century and were strengthened during and after the Second World War, when the Jews were presented as an inferior and deprecated race. In addition, during the second world war, the "Aryan myth" was spread in an influential way by many cultures, mainly the cultures considered smaller and weaker, as the Arab culture was considered at the time.

This "Aryan myth" placed white and unmixed ethnicities as superiors, which made the Jews even less so.
