Mynheer Vandedendur had approached Candide introducing himself as the master of a large sea vessel.

In an ongoing negotiation to help transport Candide to Venice in Italy, Candide hastily agrees (without bargaining to the sum of 10,000 piasters.

This action was Candides' mistake for no sooner had he agreed to that amount did the disguised Dutch Skipper up the fees to 30,000 piasters for the Dutch skipper estimated that Candide's sheep carried much treasure.

In another serious fail, Candide pays the fare, all of it in advance, while two of his sheep were loaded aboard. And somehow, the Dutch Skipper manages to sail away without Candide.

The correction option from the group of answer choices, therefore, is option D.

<h3>What is a simple subject?</h3>

A sentence's simple subject is one in which only one noun serves as the main verb. An object, place, thing, or idea that is a noun is a subject.

A subject and a verb must be present in every sentence (or predicate). The sentence's focus is identified by the subject, which identifies it.

An object, location, or person doing an action is referred to as a simple subject. A complete subject includes all of the subject's modifiers and adjectives, whereas a simple subject is a single word that describes the topic without any of them.

Examples of Simple Subjects:

Thomas Edison created the lightbulb. The verb "invented" is being "done" in this sentence by "Thomas Edison."

Which detail from "Tiger-Tiger!" best develops the theme that the rules of society don't always benefit the needs of the individ

sdas [7]

Answer:

A. " . . . they [the children] made fun of him because he would not play games or fly kites, or because he mispronounced some word. . ."

Explanation:

'Tiger-Tiger' is a part of the collective stories in 'The Jungle Book' written by Rudyard Kipling. In this story, Mowgli leaves the jungle and decides to go live in human society, after driving the Sher Khan out of the jungle. When Mowgli comes to a village, he gets adopted by a wealthy family, who lost their son.

The theme that the rules of society don't benefit the needs of the individual is developed in option A. Mowgli is a jungle boy, brought up by a wolf pack in jungle, now he lives among human, his own kind, but, in both cases Mowgli remained an outcast. In jungle he was weak among the animals and the beast, but among humans he proved to be as strong as a bull.

In the statement, in option A, the narrator describes how the rules of society didn't fit Mowgli. When he was in jungle he learned to control his temperament. But when children made fun of him, he wanted to break them in two pieces.

Therefore, option A is correct.

What does the mifti's activities indicate about the changing culture in Malala's homeland?

mamaluj [8]

A mifti is known as an Islamic scholar. In "I am Malala" the mifti is described as originally being against the notion that women could attend school. He gets angry when he finds out about a school that is participating in this 'blasphemous' activity. Soon after, however, he agrees to compromise on the issue so long as women are kept hidden from the men. This shows that the culture in Malala's homeland is in fact changing and progressing.
