Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe. This passage is a conversation between a father named Oke

ke and his adult son, Nnaemeka. In the passage, Okeke speaks first.
"Whose daughter is she, anyway?”

"She is Nene Atang.”

"What!” All the mildness was gone again. "Did you say Neneataga, what does that mean?”

"Nene Atang from Calabar. She is the only girl I can marry.” This was a very rash reply and Nnaemeka expected the storm to burst. But it did not. His father merely walked away into his room. This was most unexpected and perplexed Nnaemeka. His father’s silence was infinitely more menacing than a flood of threatening speech. That night the old man did not eat.

When he sent for Nnaemeka a day later he applied all possible ways of dissuasion. But the young man’s heart was hardened, and his father eventually gave him up as lost.

"I owe it to you, my son, as a duty to show you what is right and what is wrong. Whoever put this idea into your head might as well have cut your throat. It is Satan’s work.” He waved his son away.

Which statement best describes how Nnaemeka challenges patriarchy?

Nnaemeka insists on marrying Nene even though his father immediately threatens him.
Nnaemeka respectfully asks Okeke's permission to marry Nene.
Nnaemeka says that he will marry Nene against Okeke's wishes.
Nnaemeka is so angry that he refuses to let Okeke eat.

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer and Explanation:

I'll provide an answer against the statement "The fast-food industry can give valuable work experience to teenagers.”

The fast-food industry is not at all concerned with the value the experience of working in it will add to someone's life. As was stated in the text, they hire teenagers "because they are less expensive to hire than adults, but also because their youthful inexperience makes them easier to control." The experience those workers will acquire from that job is limited, probably even useless in other areas. A McDonald's employee does not learn how to cook - they can't leave McDonald's to suddenly work at a regular restaurant. They have machines beeping all around them, letting them know when the food is supposed to be ready.

Two buses leave school moving in opposite directions. after 15 minutes, they are both 10 miles away from the school. which state
Anna35 [415]

The statement, which correctly describes the motion of the buses is this: THE AVERAGE SPEED OF THE BUSES IS EQUAL.

Speed is defined as the distance traveled per unit time; it measures the rate of moving of an object. It is a scalar quantity, that is, it has only magnitude and no specific direction and it is measured in meter per second. A high speed value implies that an object is moving very fast while a low value indicates that the object is moving slowly. For the two buses given in the question, they both moved the same distance in the same amount of time.
