Answer:

Preposition

Explanation:

The word "about" functions as a preposition in the given sentence. As a preposition, the word "about" is used to indicate the subject of Adela's favorite story.

"About" as a preposition is used to actually indicate movement to a specific location. e.g. The lizard crawled about in the kitchen.

Also, it is used to indicate the subject of something that is written or spoken. e. g: The story is about gender equality.

A preposition is known to be a word or group of words that are used before a pronoun, noun, or noun phrase to indicate place, time, direction, location or to introduce an object.

Read the following passage:
EastWind [94]

Answer:

A) The two cultures end up sharing traditions and advancements peacefully

Explanation:

Let's go through this by process of elimination.

A) The two cultures end up sharing traditions and advancements  peacefully

This would ease the tension and the suspense in the cultural conflict of the story.

B) The narrator's people form an insulated community to preserve  their heritage

This would ease the tension, however, the suspense of an attack would create commotion and suspense.

C) The narrator fights to regain the land that once belonged to his  people.

This would NOT decrease the cultural conflict in this story.

D) The narrator convinces his people to let go of their traditions and

embrace progress.​

This would create tension throughout the people as the narrator attempts to convince them to let go.

<h2><em>I am unsure of the answer, as it could be either A or D, but I would choose option A. </em></h2>
