15. Considering Trevor's views about language and

culture, how is his date with Babiki ironic?

Answers

Answer 1

Incomplete question. I assumed you are referring to the discussion questions about the book, "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah.

Explanation:

Remember, in literature, an event is termed as ironic especially when the event or action that occurred is unexpected or contrary to what one naturally expects.

It became ironic when only after Trevor's encounter with Babiki, did he discover that he didn't speak the language his date spoke. In other words, he understood English, but she didn't. So all efforts to take her to the prom were futile. This point was made clear when we read,

"...“Your date. She does not speak any English.”

“That’s not possible...

“Of course I have—or, wait…have I?”

I started flashing back through all the times I’d been with Babiki, meeting at

her flat, hanging out with her friends, introducing her to Abel. Did I talk to her  then? No. Did I talk to her then? No."

For most of human history, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. Nicolaus Copernicus changed how people understood the universe when he theorized that it was heliocentric, or sun-centered. Interestingly, Copernicus had most of this theory worked out some time before 1514, and his work was fully articulated by 1532, yet publication of this text was not completed until 1543 as he lay dying. Some scholars believe that Copernicus delayed publishing this work because it contradicted the Catholic Church’s view that the Earth was at the center of the universe. Copernicus may have been smart in doing so because the Church did not formally accept his view of the universe until 1822, almost 300 years later.

What is the main idea of this text (What is the author trying to say bout the topic)?


Question 5 options:


Copernicus had his theory worked out in 1514



People thought the Earth was the center of the universe



The Church did not accept his view until 1822



Copernicus figured out that the Earth revolved around the Sun, but was too scared to talk about it

Question 6 options:

For most of human history, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe.


Interestingly, Copernicus had most of this theory worked out some time before 1514.


The Church did not formally accept his view of the universe until 1822, almost 300 years later.

Answers

Answer: Nicolaus Copernicus changed how people understood the universe when he theorized that it was heliocentric, or sun-centered. ... Some scholars believe that Copernicus delayed publishing this work because it contradicted the Catholic Church's view that the Earth was at the center of the universe.

Explanation:

The central idea of ​​the text is the one that shows that Copernicus discovered that the earth revolved around the sun, but was afraid to speak, as shown in the last answer option.

The detail that supports this idea is the sentence that shows that many scholars believe that Copernicus delayed the publication of his theory because this theory contradicted the church, as shown in the first answer option of the second question.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Copernicus lives in the golden moment of the Catholic Church when it had full control of everything that existed in society.Anyone who contradicted the concepts held by the church, even proving that these concepts were wrong, would suffer great punishment.For this reason, Copernicus did not publicize his theory that the earth revolved around the sun, as the church claimed that the sun and all the stars revolved around the earth.

In this case, Copernicus thought it better to protect himself than to publicize his studies.

one of the strongest human drives seems to be desire for power. write an essay in which you discuss how a character in a novel or drama struggles to free himself or herself from the power of others or seeks to gain power over others

Answers

In "Wuthering Heights" we are introduced to a story in which power when misused creates suffering even for those we love.

This theme is represented through the character Heathcliff. At the beginning of the book, Heathcliff has no power in the society in which he lives, which makes him a victim of the most varied abuses, besides being prevented from having what he wants. However, the hurt and the will to take revenge causes Heathcliff to seek power above all the people who have harmed him.

When Heathcliff gains power and control against the entire family that mistreated him, he spares no effort in mistreating them back, pursuing his descendants and causing suffering to everyone, including his beloved Catherine, causing her death.

This narrative shows that obtaining power is not beneficial if the individual does not know how to use it progressively for good. That's because even reaching his revenge and having the power he never had, Heathcliff lives in an unhappy and empty way.

Answer: A.  Who can legally call themselves a medical practitioner and offer patient services?

Explanation:

The research paper relates to regulation which means that it falls into the realm of government and what is legal or illegal. This rules out options B and C.

Going further, option D is ruled out as well because it does not speak much to regulation.

The correct option must be option A because it deals with what is legally acceptable and what isn't with regards to offering patient services which is what alternative health clinics do.
