The professor responded in this way, as he felt disrespected by Westover's question and did not like the situation.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Westover asked a question about the Holocaust, stating that he didn't know what it meant.
  • As the holocaust was a highly known event today and that it caused great suffering to the Jews, being one of humanity's worst moments, the professor thought she was making fun of the class and the holocaust itself.
  • The teacher felt disrespected and lubricated so he replied "Thanks for that," angrily.

Westover didn't really know what the holocaust was, as she was raised with no access to any information, so she asked the meaning of the word, but no one in the class knew about it.

Read these excerpts from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Then, based on your reading of the excerpts and what you've learned fr
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The code of chivalry followed by knights in the Middle Ages entailed loyalty to God, the king, and one's lady. A knight was expected to show courage and courtesy and be true to his word.

Sir Gawain upholds the code throughout the plot of the narrative. Gawain’s actions throughout the narrative give evidence that he is a true knight as his chivalry is tested many times in the story.

He shows his loyalty when he steps forward to accept the Green Knight’s challenge in the place of Arthur. His courage and courtesy are reflected in his actions. He is a true knight, but he has his human weakness, as is seen when he falls prey to the temptations of Bertilak’s wife.

He does not tell Bertilak about the green girdle given by his wife to help him survive mortal attacks. However, he does not hide this fact, and he wears a green girdle as a constant reminder of his shame.

When Montag visits Faber, he’s told that there are "lots of Harvard degrees on the tracks between here and Los Angeles." What do
Sidana [21]

<u>Explanation</u>:

I Assumed you are referring to the story, "FAHRENHEIT 451 " by Ray Bradbury  

Interestingly, we see the conversation that transpired on page 61 of the text. There Montag was indirectly referring to the many "educated" individuals who due to their not having a home, sought refuge along the train tracks.

So in other words, he was alluding to the fact tha<u>t even though lots of persons had University degrees, they were unfortunate and lived along the rail tracks in the city.</u>
