Answer:
D. Marlow, back in the city, finds the daily lives and concerns of his fellow citizens to be petty.
Explanation:
Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" centers around the character of Marlow who had gone to the African continent to meet Kurtz. This whole plot revolves around the occurrences of the journey.
The above passage is from the third part of the book where Marlow had returned back to Europe. He had no clear memory of how he got back but he is also not appreciative of the European people and their worries. He exclaims that this city looks like a tombstone, filled with "<em>people hurrying through the streets to filch a little money from each other, to devour their infamous cookery, to gulp their unwholesome beer, to dream their insignificant and silly dreams</em>". To him, their daily lives and concerns are so petty as compared to the things he had experienced and seen with his very own eyes.

Answer:
Puerto Rico was Spanish (Europe) who used African slaves.
Explanation:
Food (as well as music) is a perfect analogy to describe the colonial history of any Latin American country. The food of Puerto Rico, like it´s music, will show the Spanish and the African influence on the traditional cuisine of Puerto Rico.
Note: when we think of Salsa music we say Cuba, but Puerto Rican musicians have played a tremendous important role in the devtelopment of salsa music, as anyone in the New York music scene could confirm.
Answer: Ben Johnson has rightly said, “In short measures, life may perfect be”. He compares and contrasts a short-lived lily and an oak which lives for hundreds of years. A lily offers non-peril beauty for a day, with which it captivates the hearts of the beholders. But an oak is ugly and wooden. Its large size or long life is poor substitutes for a lily’s beauty. A rainbow offers beauty for a short period. The same is the case with dew-drops, sun-rise etc. But they leave an indelible impression upon the heart, such that we realize that “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.” Beauty is nine days’ wonder. But its impress upon the mind is ever-lasting. Most of the great men of the world led short lives. Such were Swami Vivekananda and Guru Go binds Singh. The great poets like Byron, Shelley and Keats died in early life. Even Shakespeare and Alexander Pope did not lead very long lives. But can humanity ever forget them? Many young men like Sadder Bharat Singh, Sadder Durham Singh and others lost their lives when they were quite young. They gave up their lives for the sake of our country. A short life spent in the service of humanity is better than a long life spent in a self-centered sequestered corner.
