Question

(Answers!!)Unit Test:English 10 A

Answer 1

Answer:

• "A shadow had lain down beside him. And this shadow threw itself over him."  
• "Meir, my little Meir! Don't you recognize me . . . You're killing your father . . . I have bread . . . for you too . . . for you too . . ."

Explanation:

The correct options most directly reflect the idea of cruelty arising under horrible conditions, because they reveal, first, a cruel attack on the man hiding a piece of bread, and second, that the attacker was, in fact, that man´s son, who was killing his own father out of pure hunger and desperation.

The incorrect options only provide the perspective of the narrator, who is a mere spectator of the man hiding a piece of bread, and describe the events before the final reveal, which is the cruelest act of all: the killing of a father by his own son due to hunger.
