Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

2. (RL.2.4) Read the excerpt from the passage from " “By Any Other Name” by Santha Ramu Rau

“‘Come along,’ she said, frowning slightly. ‘What’s your name, dear?’‘I don’t know.’ I said flatly.”

How does the Rau’s word choice impact the meaning of the passage?

a.It reveals the language barrier that exists between the British and Indian people.

b.It conveys the teacher’s disinterest in her Indian students.

c.It highlights the loss of identity felt by the Indian people.

d.It affirms that the British people are superior to the Indian people

Answer:

c.It highlights the loss of identity felt by the Indian people.

Explanation:

“By Any Other Name" portrays the loss of the essence of indigenous individuals when forced to live in British "reformatorios", where they were forced to use Christian names and assume British customs seen as correct and civilized. In the excerpt shown in the question above, we see that one of the "teachers" of the reformatorio asks an indigenous girl what her name is. The girl was taught not to use her indigenous name anymore, what makes her confused about what name she has and who she really is.

The author's choice of words for this passage highlights the loss of identity felt by the indigenous people.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

b) To prove that artists are not historians

Explanation:

Geoffrey Ashe most likely made the reference in the depiction of biblical scenes because he wanted to prove that artists are not historians.

He made the observation that when you see a painting of an angel appearing to Mary, a window at the back looks like a French chateau which could not have existed in Nazareth.

A chateau is a manor house or where a Lord resides and because a window resembles a chateau in a painting that is supposed to depict the biblical Nazareth, it is likely that the artist that made the painting is a poor student of history.

Geoffrey is of the opinion that artists are not historians (or good students of history) because of the blatant error of putting a French chateau in a painting of Nazareth.
