Answer:
B
. by suggesting a conflict between humans and the environment
Explanation:
"Japanese Quince" tells the story of Mr. Nilson a hardworking man who has become so used to his job that enjoying his environment now seems strange. He gets up one day only to feel a sensation. He decides to have breakfast and take a look at new story headlines. This is an indication of his inclinations to business. To calm his tensed feelings, and get some air, he takes a walk but soon finds out that his tensed feelings and sensations remained unabated. Then he sees a Japanese Quince tree, and although he is excited to see it thriving, he is carried away by awkward thoughts of his neighbor who is also taking in the scenery. Finally, he goes back to his apartment only for the weird sensation to return.
The conflict with nature or the environment produces a strange feeling on Mr. Nilson thus making him consumed with thoughts instead of just enjoying the beautiful sights.
Answer:
A. Pangeans are historically untrustworthy.
Explanation:
The speaker's point of view is most likely that Pangeans are historically untrustworthy. At the beginning of the passage, he states that Pangea has long yearned to possess their resources. That's why he thinks they're likely to attack. Based on the following statements, we can conclude that Pangeans already tried defeating them. He doesn't explicitly state that it was them who attacked (<em>We have never been defeated before </em>- he doesn't say by whom), but based on the context, we can make this conclusion.
The speaker says that his people will defend what is theirs, which means that they will respond to violence by violence. To him, war isn't the last resort for resolving conflict.
Democratic principles are something he obviously treasures (<em>what makes us fair-minded and democratic is our strong national character</em>), and he never says anything about suspending them during wartime.
This is why option A is the correct one.
