Explain the irony of Mrs Bamjee' arrest by two coloured policemen​

English

LekaFEV [45]2 years ago

Answer:

The irony in the arrest of Mrs. Bamjee is that she was working to help the colored people to be free from the racially discriminatory system of Apartheid but was arrested by two colored policemen, the very section of people she was working to help.

Explanation:

Irony is when something that is expected did not happen or occur but the opposite instead happens. This rhetorical device is used to show an event that occurs contradictory to the expected or desired.

In Nadine Gordimer's short story "A Chip of Glass Ruby", Mrs. Bamjee is of Indian descend, but believed in the importance and need to protest against the government's Apartheid policy. To her, the blacks are discriminated against by the whites and she needed to do her bit to help those suffering. So, she did whatever she could to highlight and spread the monstrosity of the discriminatory nature of the Apartheid policy. Ironically, she was arrested by two colored policemen, the very race or group of people she was trying to help.

Answer:

D. Dorothy wanders along the yellow brick road with Toto sitting in her basket, searching for clues about how to find the Emerald City.

Explanation:

Using context clues from the text, we can understand that this passage is in <em>present participle</em>. This is because of verbs like "wanders", and the use of the suffix "-ing" in the word "sitting" (infinitive form: to sit). Therefore, the verb "to search" gains the same suffix added to it.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Letters A, B, and D are the correct answers.

Explanation:

Even all the options are related to a specific part of a city (a neighborhood), the written options are directly related to security.

In Letter A, readers can find shadows from trees dangerous since they get dark and they can find unknown people or dangerous objects that may hurt pedestrians.

In Letter B, the amount of people that walks nearby the indicated area is big due to the park and pool, giving more importance to the fact that there are no lights because more people are put in a dangerous situation.

Letter D is also correct because it means that the required founds to do this are available, meaning that just the direct action (the process involving the installation of streetlights) is the only required thing.
