An example of a homonym is the word “bear.” You probably know about the animal called a “bear,” but the word “bear” can also be a verb that means to tolerate.
The patroller tearing off the blanket shows the power white men had over black people and the power men had over women.
Kindred is a story that focuses on the situation of black people during the Antellebelum period, which is known due to its extensive use of slavery. This issue is explored by Dana who is a modern woman that time travels to this period.
In this story, it is clear there are defined power relationships, the most common include:
- White people but especially men control black people.
- Men control women.
These power imbalances are shown in multiple situations, this includes one occasion, in which a patrol (white man) removes the blanket from Alice (a black woman) in order to humiliate her and show his power over her.

Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” is an elaborately devised commentary on the fluid nature of time. The story’s structure, which moves from the present to the past to what is revealed to be the imagined present, reflects this fluidity as well as the tension that exists among competing notions of time. The second section interrupts what at first appears to be the continuous flow of the execution taking place in the present moment. Poised on the edge of the bridge, Farquhar closes his eyes, a signal of his slipping into his own version of reality, one that is unburdened by any responsibility to laws of time. As the ticking of his watch slows and more time elapses between the strokes, Farquhar drifts into a timeless realm. When Farquhar imagines himself slipping into the water, Bierce compares him to a “vast pendulum,” immaterial and spinning wildly out of control. Here Farquhar drifts into a transitional space that is neither life nor death but a disembodied consciousness in a world with its own rules.
