Answer:
A. The colonialist activities are largely ineffective.
Explanation:
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness tells the story of British colonialism and the effects it have on the colonies and the workers alike. The story also dwells on the issue of trading in the remote parts of the African Congo where the conditions of the imperialistic approaches bring not only physical problems but also led to a series of psychological issues for both sides.
Among the many issues that the novel deals with, one of the clear faults of imperialism that it shows is the ineffectiveness of the colonialist activities. Even though there may be a huge profit in the trading of ivory, the physical as well as psychological toll it has on the worker especially Kurtz is too great as compared to the success of the trade. Moreover, they failed to fully 'civilize' the natives, which was the main focus of "the white man's burden". Contrarily, it was Kurtz who seemed to succumb to the 'native' effects of the people rather than the other way round.
Heart of Darkness reveals the economic destructiveness and ineffectiveness of colonial activities as a fault of imperialism, highlighting the exploitation of native populations and the long-lasting effects on former colonies.
Explanation:One of the faults of imperialism that becomes clear in Heart of Darkness is the economic destructiveness and ineffectiveness of colonial activities, rather than their lack of profitability, loneliness for homes, or excessive focus on missionary work. The novella, while critiquing Belgian colonialism in the Congo, also reveals the broader impacts of European imperialism, including the brutal exploitation of native populations for labor and resources, the imposition of arbitrary borders, and the long-lasting effects of such practices on former colonies. This systemic plunder and exploitation underpinned by economic motives signify the deeper ills of imperialism, which are explored through the journey into the Congo.

1. Narrative Poems
2. Dramatic Plays
3. Plays
Read the text and answer the following question.
In ancient literature, the genre which most closely approximates the novel is the epic. Works such as Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey as well as Virgil’s Aeneid, though poetry, are long narratives centered around certain key events and characters with heroic or cowardly actions that determine, not only their own fates, but also those of the nations which they led. The novel carries this tradition on, but in a reduced scope. The novel is much more localized, centering on characters in local settings, whose actions affect themselves and perhaps a few members of their local community.

Days after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed Congress, asking for a declaration of war. What is the purpose of repetition in this excerpt from his speech? The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. As Commander in Chief of the army and navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Answer:
C). To emphasize that the Japanese attack was deliberate and treacherous.

He intends to reflect the damaging impacts (through repetition) of such attacks and imply that these were duplicitous and fraudulent attempts. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:
Read the excerpt from Part 2 of "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell. Following the trail with the sureness of a bloodhound came General Zaroff. Nothing escaped those searching black eyes, no crushed blade of grass, no bent twig, no mark, no matter how faint, in the moss. So intent was the Cossack on his stalking that he was upon the thing Rainsford had made before he saw it. His foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. Even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. But he was not quite quick enough; the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. What is the most likely reason the film adaptation changes this scene so that General Zaroff shoots arrows at Rainsford and his companion? to increase the number of props to create an opportunity for added dialogue to add a visual that creates suspense to make the setting seem more realistic
The most likely reason that the film adaption of "The Most Dangerous Game" changes this scene so that General Zaroff shoots arrows at Rainsford and his companion is to add a visual that creates suspense. The creators of the movie would have wanted the viewers to question what would happen. If they would have tried to portray this scene as in the book it would have been difficult to receive the same reaction as is created by reading the scene.

What is the best way to describe the difference between how a Memphis man would respond to being called a 'jelly bean," and how a New Orleans man would respond?
Responses to being called a 'jelly bean' in Memphis and New Orleans would differ based on each city's unique historical and cultural contexts. In Memphis, it might be met with resistance reflective of civil rights activism, whereas in New Orleans, it could combine pride with a call for equality.
Explanation:The question seems to revolve around regional cultural differences in response to derogatory language, framed within the history of African American civil rights and linguistic variations. The student's question references how individuals in two different Southern cities might react to being called a 'jelly bean,' a presumed euphemism for a trivial or mocking term. The answer requires consideration of the cultural and historical contexts of Memphis and New Orleans, and their residents' experiences with discrimination, prejudice, and resistance to such treatment.
In Memphis, the term might resonate with the historical context of civil rights struggles, particularly the 1968 sanitation workers' strike, where individuals demanded respect and acknowledgment of their humanity, encapsulated in the phrase "I Am A Man." As such, a person from Memphis might respond to the term 'jelly bean' with a sense of resistance or assertion of dignity, reflective of the city's legacy of civil rights activism.
Conversely, in New Orleans, the cultural connotation might be different. While still acknowledging the history of civil rights, the response could be influenced by the city's unique mix of cultures and the role of New Orleans' residents as Union soldiers during the Civil War. The reaction in New Orleans might therefore mix pride with a determination for equality, bearing in mind the city's rich and complicated history regarding race relations.
The difference in response to being called 'jelly bean' between a Memphis man and a New Orleans man is influenced by historical and cultural contexts.
The difference between how a Memphis man would respond to being called a 'jelly bean' and how a New Orleans man would respond is influenced by historical and cultural contexts.
In New Orleans, the excerpt provided emphasizes the challenges faced by African Americans during the Civil War era, highlighting issues of prejudice and discrimination.Conversely, the Memphis scenario can be analyzed in the broader context of social experiences and individual perceptions, showcasing subjective reactions to different forms of labeling and identity characteristics.

Synthetic balls, though, could be made so each ball weighed and bounced exactly the same. However, players complained that the synthetic balls were slippery when wet, too sticky when dry, and the material left tiny, painful cuts on their hands similar to paper cuts. After six months, the NBA returned to using leather basketballs.
The players were _________ with the synthetic balls.
A. obsessed
