Which two sentences from the story’s introduction best support your answer to part A in once upon a time

English

4 0

The two sentences from the story's introduction that best support the answer to part A in "Once Upon a Time" are:

D. "I have no burglar bars, no gun under the pillow, but I have the same fears as people who do take these precautions." (Paragraph 5)

F. "I couldn't find a position in which my mind would let go of my body - release me to sleep again. So I began to tell myself a story, a bedtime story." (Paragraph 8)

  • "Once Upon a Time" is a short story by Nadine Gordimer in which she contrasts the innocence of children's books and bedtime stories with the tragedy that results from fear.
  • The narrator - most likely Gordimer herself - cannot go back to sleep after waking up to strange noise in her house.
  • The bedtime story she tells herself to go back to sleep, however, is far from innocent and uplifting.
  • It is about the awful reality of Apartheid; about how people, desperate for security amidst the riots and thefts, locked themselves behind bars in their own homes.
  • The bedtime story the narrator tells herself is one of fear and violence caused by injustice and prejudice.
  • With that in mind, we can choose options D and F as the best answers. They mention the precautions of those people who crave security and the comfort of a bedtime story.

Natalka [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The author's purpose or reason for writing this editorial was to inform and make people conscious about the terrible oil spill in April 2010in the Gulf of México, with the explosion of a British Petroleum rig. This spill caused so much damage to the ecosystem and the environment of the Gulf of México.

The two details from the text that support the answer are the following. The author, Kate Jackson, writes that the BP company knew about the possibility of an accident of this magnitude but it didn't do anything to prevent it. She said that David Rainey, an executive form British Petroleum, had assured the members of the Senate that the facility had no risk of a spill.

The other detail that supports the answer is that she wrote that the oil industry always had been aware of the dangers of spills but never has done so much to prevent them. Also, people like Robert Bea, an offshore engineer, had warned British Petroleum.
