Answer:

The numbers, for them, are a way to process and survive, feeling they have some kind of control over such a chaotic situation.

Explanation:

In "The Devil's Arithmetic" ( 1988), by Jane Yolen and published in 1988,  Hannah Stern and the girls that she meets while imprisoned during the Holocaust, develop a theory about the numbers they had tattoed on them as a way to identify them, to give them meaning and eve premonitory influence on their lives. The Devil's Arithmeticrefers to the idea that each person who dies instead of them, means one more day that they get to be alive and not sent to the gas chamber. However, they develop more deep explanations. Rivka, for example, says;

"The 1 is for me because I am alone. The 8 is for my family because there were eight of us when we lived in our village. And the 2 because that is all that are left now, me and Wolfe, who believes himself to be a 0. But I love him no matter what he is forced to do. And when we are free and this is over, we will be 2 again."

Why do greek and latin matter
MakcuM [25]

Greek and Latin matter because it helps us with the pronunciation of words and the origin of words.  When we know about where these words come from, how they are broken down (with suffixes and prefixes), and how each are pronounced, you better understand not only the word, but the meaning and the logic behind the word.  This also aids in reading comprehension.  Greek and Latin is key to understanding vocabulary, and a good vocabulary helps you to understand what you are reading.

Answer:

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

After reading a novel set and written during the English Civil War, you are tasked with writing a literary criticism of the work. Which approach would be the most fitting?

A. Reader-response

B. Biographical

C. Ecocriticism

D. New Historicism

The correct answer is option  D. New Historicism.

  Neohistoricism follows the idea that a text should be considered as something that comes from a time, place, and from the way it was written, and not as a specific type of text.

Here an attempt was made to understand a history from its provenance, the time in which it developed, understanding the culture from which it comes and an intellectual analysis through literature.

Given this information, we can say that the correct answer is option D.
