After reading the sentence from Harriet Tubman's biography and analyzing its message, we can say the author included the sentence for the following reasons:

B. To suggest that Tubman looked out for others more than for herself.

E. To show that Tubman continued bravely despite her own fears.

<h3>What is the sentence about?</h3>

The sentence in paragraph 12 reveals that the 11 runways and Tubman could very well be caught while trying to escape. However, their fates would be different if they were caught. While the others would be sold as slaves again, Tubman would be killed.

Such a piece of information reveals Tubman's bravery and concern for others. Even though she knew what awful things awaited in case she was caught, she still faced her fears in order to help others. To set other slaves free, she was willing to sacrifice her own safety and life.

With the information above in mind, we can select options B and E as the correct answers.

podryga [215]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read this excerpt from james baldwin's "notes of a native son":the day of my father's funeral had also been my nineteenth birthday. as we drove him to the graveyard, the spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all around us. it seemed to me that god himself had devised, to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally dissonant of codas. and it seemed to me, too, that the violence which rose all about us as my father left the world had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest son.which sentence best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose?

a.it ties baldwin's father's funeral to his birthday and shows that the author is angry that his father died on that day.  b.it compares a term signifying the end of a musical piece with his father's death to illustrate the finality of death.  c.it contrasts the somber mood of a funeral procession with the happy memories baldwin has about his father.  d.it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.

Answer:

d. it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.

Explanation:

The text above was taken from the autobiography of a black author, who wanted to show the violence, intolerance and injustices that racism caused in a society. He presents these themes well in the excerpt shown above, where the structure allows the author to interweave elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hate is destructive and how it shook his family and transformed a moment of celebration into a moment of mourning.
