Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is in the attached image.
Answer:
The first option is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The best way to shorten and combine phrases is to keep the meaning of the original text and to exclude phrases that present additional information, but that do not necessarily contribute to the main meaning of the message. In other words, we can affirm that, in order to shorten a text, it is necessary to keep the main meaning well established. For this reason, we can consider the first option as the correct option.
Hello. You forgot to warn that this question is about the "Invisible Man" prologue.
Answer:
The text shows details that prove that the narrator exists without being perceived by anyone around him, so he starts to push people to prove that he exists. These details help to convey the message that not being noticed is lonely and that it makes a person doubt his own ability and relevance in the world.
Explanation:
The narrator is an invisible man. This causes everyone in the world to ignore you. His existence is irrelevant to the universe and all people follow their lives as if he does not exist and he is not noticed by anyone, this makes everyone bump into him all the time.
This makes the speaker live an extremely lonely life and makes him start to doubt his own existence and to prove that he really exists he starts to push people back.
The main message of the text is to show how human beings need attention, to validate them, to show that they are relevant. When that attention is withdrawn, human beings can respond with hostility as a way to resolve their internal doubts.
I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.
<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.
"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant.
Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in. </span>
<span>It means that all eligible citizens have the right to participate, either directly or indirectly, in making the decisions that affect them.</span>
<span>The correct answer is: carefully precise</span>
