Remark
Let's begin with the theme. What is the theme of this passage, exactly? Four people -- five if you include Dr. Heidegger -- are sitting around a circle bemoaning the fact that they have lost something not granted to anyone. They have lost their second youth. They have swallowed some water which gave them their youth only for a fleeting moment (it seems to them), and they mourn the passage of time that grants them no more youth that they had been living in for some short period.
The four felt that way. Only Dr. Heidegger seemed to have learned something that told him that he should be careful what he wished for: he might actually get it.
We have two themes then. We have 4 who wished for their youth back and we have one who didn't want any part of it. I think we have to cover both.
The best detail for those wanting it is the old woman who apparently got her youth back and she was incredibly beautiful. Now her hands are skinny and likely wrinkled. She puts those hands to her face and wishes herself to be dead because she despises the fact that she is old (and likely all her friends are dead and she is condemned to a life of weariness. I speculate, but is certainly unhappy about the aging process). She mourns that it is over so quickly. They all do. That's sentence 3.
Only Dr. Heidegger seems to understand that they got something they should never have received in the first place. The yellow sentence beginning with "Well I bemoan it not, ... " reflects his point view as well as anything. That's sentence 5.
Answer:
Passage D because the sentence lengths are varied and it uses figurative language.
Answer:
The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. Gather as a group not just for holidays, but for ordinary meals, events, or just conversation. Many aspects of culture are difficult to learn in books and museums, including etiquette, body language, and humor. Whether or not you share your parents' and grandparents' religion, studying it can help you understand their culture. Religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. Becoming more familiar with your or your family's religion can help you understand all these other aspects. If you know someone who shares your culture but has a different native tongue than yourself, ask them to teach you. Many linguists and anthropologists argue that language shapes our whole perception of the world. Plus, if the language is rare in your area, nobody will be able to eavesdrop on your conversations!
Explanation:
One trait Rainsford and General Zaroff have in common in the short story is their passion for hunting and their extensive knowledge in hunting. They both have traveled around the world hunting the most desired and exotic game and both have been doing it for a long time. Rainsford even wrote a book on hunting.
Once Rainsford accepts that he must participate in Zaroff's "game", Rainsford becomes much like Zaroff. He becomes a killer when he kills Zaroff's dog and then Ivan. ... Zaroff wants his prey to offer him as big a challenge as they possibly can. Zaroff sees the world divided between the strong and the weak.
