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.

Projective tests are controversial because.
never [62]
Answer: The problem with projective tests is that they lack validity and reliability, the two critical aspects of any psychological assessment. Reliability refers to how consistent the results of a given test are: a test that is reliable will yield the same results time and time again

In at least 150 words, describe the literary and historical importance of Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation.
anygoal [31]

Of Plymouth Plantation is significant because it chronicles facts about the establishment of the Pilgrim Church in England, the group who left for Holland and eventually the trip on the Mayflower to the New World on November 11, 1620, and the early days of colonial America. Bradford was governor of the colony for 33 years. Among many things he writes about, maybe the most famous is the first Thanksgiving.


It is also significant because it is the most lucidly reliable account of those early days in American history. One of the lessons about the Puritans in reference to their common beliefs or personalities is that they came to the New World seeking religious freedom. Bradford's work draws on many Biblical parallels. They wanted to "purify" (hence the name "Puritans") the Church of England, believing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in attempting this. It also seems that their fervor for this purification in the new community in the new world eventually declined; it was said that Bradford wrote some of this text with a nostalgia, implying that their focus on their role as religious crusaders/founders of a new world gave way to expansion and maybe more focus on other aspects of life.

Which of these is a poetic device Walt Whitman often uses to emphasize certain ideas in his poems?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Hi!

The answer to your question is letter B, Alliteration.

Explanation:

So to start, we should know that <u>alliteration is a writing technique that relies on how words sound in relation to each other</u>. Because of this, you see the   same letter or sounds at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

As an example we can see the poem "I Hear America Singing" from Walt Whitmant. In it, the autor includes the word singing 11 times in the 11 times on the poem. This is an example of alliterarion and the answer to this.
