Giving his opinion on what should be done of something he wants to do
Answer: b. Amir is not athletic.
Explanation:
The text quoted is from the book, ''The Kite Runner". In it, Amir's mother had died but she was an avid reader whilst still alive who had a lot of books that Amir was able to read and memorize.
He was therefore like his mother. His father however, was described as aloof which Amir is not as he reads a lot so option c is incorrect. Amir is also very intelligent as memorizing dozens of verses is no easy feat.
Amir being athletic or non-athletic is not supported by this quote so option b is correct.
Yes. It’s good. I like it
Answer:
This passage reveals that:
C) Slavery was a taboo subject, to be avoided in polite conversation.
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass was born in 1818. He was an abolitionist, a writer, and a social reformer whose autobiography "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" greatly influenced the abolitionist movement in 1845. In the book, Douglass tells the story of his life as a slave and the measures he took to learn how to read and write.
From the passage we are studying here, it can be easily inferred that slavery was a taboo issue in conversations. Even though it was a reality - and a horrific one -, people were uncomfortable when it was brought up. According to Douglass, "grownup people" were discussing it, but whenever he brought it up with white boys around his age, they were troubled, bothered by it. Maybe they were suddenly and sharply reminded that that human being they were talking to, unlike themselves, did not have any freedom. His life was set in a very different direction than theirs. Being reminded of that was probably uncomfortable.
