Answer:
The above excerpt is a good example of the many storytelling devices used in 1001 Nights except surprise ending.
Explanation:
<u>The excerpt we are analyzing here does have elements of repetition, dialogue and recurring theme. However, it is not a good example of surprise ending, and the reason for that is very simple. </u>Take a look at how the excerpt ends:
<em>The porter was so dazzled he could hardly believe that he heard her aright, but he shouldered his basket in hot haste, saying in himself, "O day of good luck! O day of Allah's grace!" and walked after her till she stopped at the door of a house.</em>
<u>This is not a proper ending. As a matter of fact, this is the beginning of the story. Readers are left expecting, wondering what happens to the porter and the mysterious woman once they reach that door.</u> It might very well be that the story does have an interesting ending, but we are analyzing the excerpt only. And the excerpt does not have an ending whatsoever.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
A singular possessive noun is created by adding apostrophe (') to the noun. This is done so in order to show the possession of the noun.
But to use apostrophe to create singular noun possession there are certain grammatical rules.
If a singular noun is ending with 's' then apostrophe can be added after with the word without adding 's' or with adding 's'. Both ways are correct.
In option A, there is no possession shown. And the correct usage of singular possession for option A would be "Mary was dominant among Jesus' disciples.
So, the correct answer is Option A.
