Answer:

Anzia Yezierska was an American-Jewish writer. She wrote many novels and books. She was born in Poland but later migrated to the U.S.A.

Explanation:

                The author tries to ridicule or deride the Americanized people who believed that they are the original American people and wanted to leave behind the heritage as well as history of theirs. Thus the author uses the word "American" with a quotation mark.

               Anzia Yezierska speaks of her moving to America in search of a better living and to pursue her dreams. She remembers she lives with and works for a family in America who have also migrated from the same Polish village from where she comes from. This family behaves in a manner that they belong to America and forgot from where they came from. They pretended to be truly American or "American" as quoted by Anzia Yezierska.

                We see how the thoughts and the feelings of Anzia Yezierska about the 'land of freedom' quickly changed. She came here in search of happiness and to live a better life but she encountered loneliness, shame, inadequacy, misunderstanding, etc. The feelings of the author changes from the childish exhilaration towards the sad acceptance and the ultimate hatred.

Complete the following analogy:
o-na [289]

ENEMY : FEUD :: RIVAL : QUARREL

Option: C

Explanation:

An analogy is a comparison in which a object or an idea is compared to another thing that totally differs from it.

Here, word rival means a contender or a competitor to be defeated. This more or less matches the word enemy than all the other given words.

In the same way, to feud is to quarrel (argument that goea on for a pretty long time) and this directly means the term quarrel.

The rest options do come into account as the meaning totally differs.

Write a paragraph on the topic “ Reading takes you around the world: ”
Citrus2011 [14]
When we read books, the stories in them transport us from the world we are in to the world within the pages of the book. To be transported by a book requires the reader to have an emotional response to the book, to visualise the story and eventually, become immersed in it. As a reader, I consider myself lucky to have read several books that have made me lose awareness of my existing surroundings and drawn me into the story unravelling in the book.

“There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.” – J.K. Rowling

When I think of being transported by a book, a recent incident comes to my mind. On a winter morning, I had boarded a train to Furkating, a small town in Assam. It was a bleak morning and the sun was a pale yellow, melting into a silver sky. In a compartment colder than December, I sat tucked in my winter clothes amidst rows of filled seats. As the train started with a jolt, I brought out a book from my overstuffed handbag and started reading the first chapter.

Soon, I was deeply engrossed in the story and before I knew it half an hour had passed… The train was starting to slow down as we had reached a station; on a cemented slab in yellow, the letters read ‘Panbari’. Some of the seats in front of me that were previously filled now lay empty. Two of the solo passengers who sat ahead of me had struck up a conversation about the weather in Dimapur – probably the place they were heading to. The winter sun was now splattered across the sky and shining over thatched-roof villages that we were fast leaving behind as the train gained momentum.

Mary Balogh describes it perfectly, “Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? I know I have. And I think that’s why historical romance is so appealing. That experience of being so immersed in the story that it feels like you’re really there: strolling along in a moonlit rose garden with a duke, or taking tea in a lady’s finely appointed drawing room. And if you’re the adventurous type (like me), perhaps you find yourself riding on a cable car in San Francisco, or exploring the canals of Venice in a gondola. Whatever the tale, these new experiences are just waiting to be discovered; beckoning you, enticing you, entreating you to pause, to sit down and to spend time between the pages of a good book.”
