Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe. This passage is a conversation between a father named Okeke and his adult son, Nnaemeka. In the passage, Okeke speaks first.

"Whose daughter is she, anyway?”

"She is Nene Atang.”

"What!” All the mildness was gone again. "Did you say Neneataga, what does that mean?”

"Nene Atang from Calabar. She is the only girl I can marry.” This was a very rash reply and Nnaemeka expected the storm to burst. But it did not. His father merely walked away into his room. This was most unexpected and perplexed Nnaemeka. His father’s silence was infinitely more menacing than a flood of threatening speech. That night the old man did not eat.

When he sent for Nnaemeka a day later he applied all possible ways of dissuasion. But the young man’s heart was hardened, and his father eventually gave him up as lost.

"I owe it to you, my son, as a duty to show you what is right and what is wrong. Whoever put this idea into your head might as well have cut your throat. It is Satan’s work.” He waved his son away.

Which statement best describes how Nnaemeka challenges patriarchy?

Nnaemeka insists on marrying Nene even though his father immediately threatens him.
Nnaemeka respectfully asks Okeke's permission to marry Nene.
Nnaemeka says that he will marry Nene against Okeke's wishes.
Nnaemeka is so angry that he refuses to let Okeke eat.

Read the excerpt from "Clever Gretel."

It came to pass that the master one day said to her: "Gretel, there is a guest coming this evening; prepare me two chickens very nicely."


"I will see to it, master," answered Gretel. She killed two chickens, plucked them, put them on the spit, and towards evening set them before the fire, that they might roast. The fowls began to turn brown, and were nearly ready, but the guest had not yet arrived.


Then Gretel called out to her master: "If the guest does not come, I must take the fowls away from the fire, but it will be a sin and a shame if they are not eaten the moment they are at their juiciest."

What conclusion can be drawn about how Gretel viewed cooking and food?

She thought cooking was too much work for one person.
She thought food can only be enjoyed when you eat alone.
She thought cooking should be done only to serve others.
She thought food should be eaten when the time was right.

This is because the entire time the writer talks about not being a loser and not doing well in highschool thus eliminating D along with B because he doesn't say much about his stepfather. It also can't be A because there was no evidence of the writer being lazy.

The Common Core State Standards emphasize narrative writing in elementary school, but as students advance to middle and high school, informative and argument texts become the focus.

O Sydney wants to see vibrant used in a sentence.

Answers

Answer:

Eric is looking for antonyms for the word boring.

Explanation:

A thesaurus is an alphabetized book linking words to some of their synonyms and antonyms. It can help you find words with the same meaning as "boring" and in this case, words with the opposite meaning of "boring."

B. Eric!

This is because a thesaurus is basically used to search for antonyms and synonyms so you can’t define anything from a thesaurus but you can from a dictionary! So Chloe will not be helped. If Sydney wants to use vibrant in a sentence a thesaurus may be good but it is not the best way! Now, Rico can not use a thesaurus to pronounce words correctly so the only person who has a correct imagery of what the thesaurus is used for would be Eric!

2. Mom read the novel in one day.
3. Bikila painted the classroom​

Answers

Answer:

1. Chaltu's name was changed by Bona

2. The novel was read by mom in one day.

3. The classroom was painted by Bikila

Explanation:

When writing a sentence in active form, the subject of the sentence acts on the verb while in the passive form, the subject receives the action.

Using the first example for instance, the subject is "Bona" and in active voice, it is written thus: "Bona changed Chaltu's name" with the subject "Bona" acting on the subject "Chaltu's name".

Meanwhile, in the passive form, the subject "Bona" is the receiver of the action, thus: "Chaltu's name was changed by Bona"
