Read this excerpt from Helen Keller’s autobiography The Story of My Life.


One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan put my big rag doll into my lap also, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both. Earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r." Miss Sullivan had tried to impress it upon me that "m-u-g" is mug and that "w-a-t-e-r" is water, but I persisted in confounding the two. In despair she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity. I became impatient at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst. I had not loved the doll. In the still, dark world in which I lived there was no strong sentiment or tenderness. I felt my teacher sweep the fragments to one side of the hearth, and I had a sense of satisfaction that the cause of my discomfort was removed. . . .


We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten – a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.


What happens after the narrator touches the well water?


She learns how to form letters with her fingers.

She breaks her doll to express her frustration with learning.

She enjoys the smell of honeysuckle at the well house.

She recognizes the connection between objects and words.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

She recognizes the connection between objects and words.

Explanation:

Helen Keller had already begun forming letters with her fingers, so water was not the first word she wrote.

Helen had broken the doll way before she went to the well. In fact, she forgets the frustration she felt before after she touches the doll and she says she regretted the doll after.

The honeysuckle thing is irrelevant to this question.

Helen could not understand the connection between words and objects because mug and water were essentially the same thing to her. Once she was away from the vessels, the jugs, mugs and saucers, and felt the water in the well gush in between her fingers, Helen understood "water" but more importantly, she understood words.

Answer 2

After the narrator touches the well water she recognizes the connection between objects and words. The correct option is d.

What do you understand by the word narrator?

A narrator refers to the one who tells a story. In a work of fiction, the narrator determines the story’s point of view. If the narrator is a full participant in the story’s action, the narrative is said to be in the first person. A story told by a narrator who is not a character in the story is a third-person narrative.

Narrators are sometimes categorized by how they present their stories. An intrusive narrator, a common device in many 18th- and 19th-century works, interrupts the story to provide a commentary to the reader on some aspect of the story or a more general topic.

An unreliable narrator is one who does not understand the full import of a situation.

case study: discrimination in the workplace by Elaine E.Englehardt
Are her co-workers correct in their evaluation?​

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Marian co-workers are not correct in their evaluation because of the following reason.

We are talking about a black woman called Marian, who studied at Loyola University. She was hired by a company to be a manager. She was notably smarter than other peers, and regarding her performance in the workplace, she was scored high. But being the only African American woman in the office, she felt alone. But one day she heard where her peers were complaining to the supervisor about her lack of qualifications, and they also mentioned that Marian had an unpleasant personality. Of course, this made Marian angry and she is thinking of quitting.

That is why Marian co-workers are not correct in their evaluation because they are taking things personally. They are envious of her performance and abilities. Her co-workers feel they are being threatened for her skills. And probably, they did not like the fact that she is a black woman, which makes things worse.

O C. Beckett begins with the idea of endings.

O D. Hamm walks around and around the chess board.

Answers

Answer:

C). Beckett begins with the idea of endings.

Explanation:

'Endgame' by Samuel Beckett works upon the existentialist philosophy and belongs to the 'theater of absurd.' It is often considered as the follow up of Beckett's classic work 'Waiting for Godot.'

As per the question, the play authorizes the idea of circularity as the play begins and ends on the same note i.e. 'intertwining of beginning and end.' It is based upon the key idea of 'hopelessness' and the characters are endlessly waiting for 'nothing' but death. Clove internally feels 'he need to live' and plans of leaving but could not and goes back to the same situation(reflects absurdity and nothingness). Thus, the entire play moves around this very idea and hence, option C is the correct answer.

E. Lord Capulet
F. Lady Capulet
G. Paris

Answers

Answer:

E. Lord Capulet.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Ju liet revolves around the love story of Romeo and Ju liet who came from feuding families. Their illegal love led to their deaths but in this act of dying for their true love, they showed that true love matters the most and also healed the rift between their families.

In Act IV of the play, Ju liet was supposed to marry Paris but she committed su icide by consuming poison, which in truth, was just a sleeping potion that Friar Lawrence had planned alongside them in order to allow Romeo to steal her and go far away. On the proposed day of her wedding, she was found dead. It is in scene v where her father Lord Capulet declared-

"All things that we ordained festival

Turn from their office to black funeral.

Our instruments to melancholy bells,

Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast.

Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change,

Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse,

And all things change them to the contrary."
