Answer: The right answer is naturalism (D).

Explanation: Although Theodore Dreiser's powerful novel <em>An American Tragedy</em> can be also described as modernist and realistic, to an extent, it is more accurately an example of <em>naturalism</em>, a type of literature that was practised by various American writers, such as contemporaries Jack London and Theodore Dreiser, and, later on, John Don Passos, among others. Naturalistic writers studied and analyzed their characters, and the passions, instincts, and external forces that influenced their often desperate and violent actions, from a very rational, objective, detached and almost scientific perspective. For that reason, naturalistic works tend to be pessimistic and dramatic, as they revolve around the themes of survival, violence, struggle, and guilt, among others. <em>An American Tragedy </em>tells the story of a young, handsome and ambitious, yet poor and naive, man who, together with his friends and girlfriend, gets involved in a lethal car accident and resolves to flee his hometown. A wealthy relative gives him a chance, but his thirst to become someone soon gets him into trouble. He gets a girl pregnant, but as he becomes popular among some of the women of the wealthy class he soon wishes to get rid of her. He takes her for a boat ride and, although he does not feel ready to kill her, he "accidentally" hits her and she falls to the water and drowns. He is eventually sentenced and executed.

Natalka [10]

Homework is work that is given by teachers for students to do at home. Homework is usually given to students by their school teachers. It is a practice work which helps students revise what they've learned that day.

Homework helps students to remember what they learned. Some students will get more homework and some will get less. This depends on how old they are, what grade/primary/year they are in and how smart/intelligent they are. This could help decide what level they are at.

Some students say that homework is a waste of time and that they do enough work at school. However, it is often believed that homework is important for a student because it may help in their exams and education. Homework is essential for anyone that is confused or behind a subject.

Homework helps parents to get to know about their children progress in studies. It can also teach a child to be responsible. However, it has sometimes been a controversial form of learning as some groups argue about its disadvantages.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

He meant that you should be unique.

Explanation:

This statement <em>"...establishes your worth. It takes your missions and content and broadcasts it to the world. It articulates what you have to offer, why you’re unique, and gives a distinct reason for others to connect with you." </em>simply means that you should be able to be known for something that others can't offer. This leaves the feeling of being worthy among your friends.

For example, if you are known to be a solution provider in difficult situations, this skill is simply your worth. When issues crop up that looks unresolveable, one or two individual would suggest that, you should be contacted inorder to seek your opinion on how to resolve such issue.

Vnat IS the main conflict in this excerpt?
GrogVix [38]

The main conflict in this excerpt is "Napoleon wants the animals to protect themselves. but Snowball wants to encourage revolts elsewhere," option D.

<h3>What is conflict?</h3>

When it comes to literature, we call conflict any friction or encounter between two opposing forces. There are several different types of conflict, but a common one is character versus character, which is precisely the one in this excerpt.

In the excerpt from "Animal Farm," we see a conflict between characters Napoleon and Snowball. Both are responsible for governing the farm, but they want different things. While Snowball wants to encourage the animals to revolt in other places, Napoleon wants them to protect themselves.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer.

The missing excerpt for this question is the following:

Apart from the disputes over the windmill, there was the question of the defense of the farm. It was fully realized that though the human beings had been defeated in the Battle of the Cowshed they might make another and more determined attempt to recapture the farm and reinstate Mr. Jones. They had all the more reason for doing so because the news of their defeat had spread across the countryside and made the animals on the neighbouring farms more restive than ever. As usual, Snowball and Napoleon were in disagreement. According to Napoleon, what the animals must do was to procure firearms and train themselves in the use of them. According to Snowball, they must send out more and more pigeons and stir up rebellion among the animals on the other farms. The one argued that if they could not defend themselves they were bound to be conquered, the other argued that if rebellions happened everywhere they would have no need to defend themselves. - Animal Farm, George Orwell.
