Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "Borders" by Thomas King and is a short story that can be classified as a drama. That's because, when the protagonists of the story, a boy and his mother, try to cross the border between Canada and the USA are prevented. they are prevented because they call themselves "Blackfoot," a people native to North America, however, the "Blackfoot" are not considered citizens for border officers and therefore do not allow the boy and his mother to cross.

This means that the boy and his mother have to cross two borders, the first is the physical border established between the two countries, the second is a barrier of intolerance, created by those who ignore the existence and rights of Native Americans.

Why are stereotypes a problem?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Stereotypes can be a problem because when people don't follow the stereotypes, they can be bullied, called weird, or looked down upon. Also, when too many people follow a specific stereotype, it becomes the new normal.

Explanation:

For example, if you saw a boy wearing a dress, you would most likely stare, and think uhh....thats weird. Another example is actually somewhat racist. If you think of a basketball player, you would most likly think of a black one, leading to the stereotype that African Americans are better at specific sports. I hope this helped!

Answer:

The statement which summarizes the central idea of this passage is:

A. The yellow fever epidemic had lasting consequences for the city.

Explanation:

The passage begins by saying the number of people who died of the fever were in the thousands - 4 or 5. That number may very well have been bigger but it was difficult to keep count at that time. Then it moves on to say that <u>one thing was clear to all, independently on how accurate that number was: that things would never be the same. The epidemic would have lasting consequences, then. The losses, the fear, all of it was "too real and personal". It would forever change people's lives.</u>
