The excerpt from Chapter 5 reveals Dede's admiration for Minerva's assertiveness. The excerpt is culled from The Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez.

<h3>Dede and Minerva - The Time of the Butterflies</h3>

The author's depiction of Dede shows her to be practical compliant and gentle. She is the one who gives over her own to make peace amongst those that she loves.

On the other end of the spectrum is Minerva. Minerva is bold, adventurous, strong-willed, and idealistic.

Although Minerva is the courageous one, Dede is the one who ends up dedicating her life to the upbringing of her fallen sister's children, thus keeping their legacy as heroes alive.

The correct answer, thus, is A.

In Chapter 5, the author's portrayal of Dede reveals to the reader <u>A. Dede's admiration</u> of Minerva's assertiveness, as captured by Julia Alvarez in "In the time of the Butterflies".

<h3>In the Time of the Butterflies</h3>

<em>Julia Alvarez's "In the Time of the Butterflies" </em>shows that Dede had a split perspective about Minerva and her other sisters. But when she later grew up, she came to realize that the sisters fought against the injustice hoisted on them and the nation by the Dominican Republic's longtime dictatorship led by Trujillo’s government.

Thus, the author's portrayal of Dede does not reveal to the reader about Dede's surprise at Minerva's behavior, her realization of Minerva's flaws, or her irritation with Minerva's assertiveness but <u>Option A</u>.

How is Canterbury cathedral related to the story of Thomas a Becket ?
olchik [2.2K]

The Canterbury Cathedral is related to Thomas a Becket because Becket was murdered there. Henry II made Becket his chancellor and the two became close friends. When the position of Archbishop became vacant, Henry II made Thomas a Becket the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Henry II wanted to reduce the power of the Church and established the Constitutions of Clarendon which allowed the King to punish a cleric found guilty by the Church. Becket refused to sign the Constitutions of Clarendon and was found guilty of treason. He fled to France and was only allowed to return when the Pope threatened to excommunicate Henry II. Upon his return, Becket excommunicated three bishops who supported Henry. This enraged Henry and he ordered his knights to kill Becket. 

On December 29, 1170, Becket was murdered at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by four knights of King Henry II.
