Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Read this excerpt from "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar and answer

the question that follows: We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes, — This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask! What effect does the poet achieve by repeating the phrase, "We wear the mask" throughout the poem? Complete the sentences to answer the question.

In the instances where Dunbar employs the phrase "We wear the mask" (first used to introduce the central concept and then repeated at the conclusion of the next two stanzas), he utilizes it to convey and articulate the shared experiences faced by African-Americans in their daily lives within a predominantly white society. These narratives are characterized by the emotions and thoughts that African-Americans conceal while “wearing the mask.”

Why did Wegener think that continental drift could be used to explain rock scarring in South America, India, and Australia?
Artemon [1739]

Respuesta: Los glaciares causaron la erosión

Explicación: La deriva continental era una teoría que explicaba cómo los continentes cambian su ubicación en la superficie terrestre. Propuesta en 1912 por Alfred Wegener, un geofísico y meteorólogo, la deriva continental también aclaraba por qué se encuentran fósiles de animales y plantas parecidos, así como formaciones rocosas similares, en distintos continentes.

La teoría de la deriva continental

Wegener pensaba que todos los continentes estuvieron una vez unidos formando un "Urkontinent" antes de separarse y desplazarse hacia sus posiciones actuales. Sin embargo, los geólogos rechazaron rotundamente la teoría de Wegener tras publicar los detalles en un libro de 1915 titulado "El origen de los continentes y océanos." Parte de la oposición se debía a que Wegener no contaba con un modelo adecuado que explicara cómo se movían los continentes.

Which sentence from the passage best supports the conclusion that the author was influenced by Amaterasu?
BigorU [1667]

The response to this open-ended question is as follows.

Unfortunately, the options for the question were not included. However, we can conclude the following.

The passage's line that most supports the idea that the author was influenced by Amaterasu is "So when she retreated with her laptop to her room and refused to leave, it created a wave of discontent at the school."

This refers to Amaterasu, the Japanese goddess of the Sun and heaven. According to mythology, there was a time when Amaterasu had a conflict with her brother, which made her so upset that she chose to hide in a mountain cave, plunging the world into darkness, causing chaos and turmoil. She remained hidden for a significant duration. The conflict arose because her brother Susanoo had damaged many rice fields, which angered her.

Therefore, when Lara withdrew with her laptop to her room and isolated herself, it similarly created discontent at school, akin to the referenced story of Amaterasu.
