Answer:

​One of the man themes of "A Wedding Gift" is overcoming adversity and fear.

Explanation:

One of the man themes of "A Wedding Gift" is overcoming adversity and fear. Jacques was afraid of marriage and commitment because of his past relationship. "For a long time Jacques Bourdillere had sworn that he would never marry, but he suddenly changed his mind." When he met Berthe he immediately fell in love, but that meant he had to overcome his fear and promise he made to himself. And he worked for it through the approval of Berthes parents "Her parents hesitated for a long time, restrained by the young man's bad reputation." At the end of the story he had to overcome his biggest fear, to have a child of his own. On his wedding day he had no choice to face it "I—I have a child and the mother has just died." Lucky he didn't have to overcome raising a child on his own thanks to the fact he got over his fear of getting married. ​"Then Berthe murmured: "Well, we will bring up the little one." And now he has a life with love and purpose.

Question 2
Part B

Which excerpts best support the answer in Part A?

Select the two correct answers.


"Soon afterwards the other dwarves were brought into the town amid scenes of astonishing enthusiasm. They were all doctored and fed and housed and pampered in the most delightful and satisfactory fashion. A large house was given up to Thorin and his company; boats and rowers were put at their service; and crowds sat outside and sang songs all day, or cheered if any dwarf showed so much as his nose."

"The news had spread from the doors of the hall like fire through all the town. People were shouting inside the hall and outside it. The quays were thronged with hurrying feet. Some began to sing snatches of old songs concerning the return of the King under the Mountain; that it was Thror’s grandson not Thror himself that had come back did not bother them at all."

"Then the Master hesitated and looked from one to the other. The Elvenking was very powerful in those parts and the Master wished for no enmity with him, nor did he think much of old songs, giving his mind to trade and tolls, to cargoes and gold, to which habit he owed his position. Others were of different mind, however, and quickly the matter was settled without him."

"All leaped to their feet. The Master of the town sprang from his great chair. But none rose in greater surprise than the raft-men of the elves who were sitting at the lower end of the hall. Pressing forward before the Master’s table they cried: 'These are prisoners of our king that have escaped, wandering vagabond dwarves that could not give any good account of themselves....'"

from “Mother Tongue”
by Amy Tan
Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” English. But I wince when I say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of empirical evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. In this guise, I was forced to ask for information or even to complain and yell at people who had been rude to her. One time it was a call to her stockbroker in New York. She had cashed out her small portfolio and it just so happened we were going to go to New York the next week, our very first trip outside California. I had to get on the phone and say in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”
And my mother was standing in the back whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check, already two weeks late. So mad he lie to me, losing me money.”
And then I said in perfect English, “Yes, I’m getting rather concerned. You had agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she began to talk more loudly. “What he want, I come to New York tell him front of his boss, you cheating me.” And I was trying to calm her down, make her be quiet, while telling the stockbroker, “I can’t tolerate any more excuses. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I’m in New York next week.” And sure enough, the following week there we were in front of this astonished stockbroker, and I was sitting there red-faced and quiet, and my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting at his boss in her impeccable broken English.

What is the overall tone?
A.
humble and admiring
B.
cynical and condescending
C.
resentful, yet loving

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”


A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.


A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.


SHE. What are you doing?


HE. (innocently) Writing.


SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?


HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .


SHE. (continues to look inquiry).


HE. (finally) A letter. . . .


SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?


HE. (defiantly) To my wife!


SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.


HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –


SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.


HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!


SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?


HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.
