I understand nothing," answered the nose. "I repeat, please explain yourself more distinctly. " "Honourable sir," said Kovaloff with dignity, "I do not know how I am to understand your words. It seems to me the matter is as clear as possible. Or do you wish but you are after all my own nose!" The nose looked at the Major and wrinkled its forehead. "There you are wrong, respected sir; I am myself. Besides, there can be no close relations between us. To judge by the buttons of your uniform, you must be in quite a different department to mine. " So saying, the nose turned away. Kovaloff was completely puzzled; he did not know what to do. Nikolai Gogol, "The Nose" Why is this passage from "The Nose" typical of magical realism?

A. Kovaloff doesn't question why his nose is walking and talking. B. Kovaloff goes crazy trying to figure out how this happened. C. The nose wonders how it came to be dressed as a man.

D. The nose is the only realistic element in a supernatural world.

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

It's A just to make life simpler.

The passage from "The Nose" is typical of magical realism because the nose is the only realistic element in a supernatural world. The correct answer is D.

Magical realism is a literary genre that blends elements of the fantastical or supernatural with realistic elements seamlessly, creating a sense of ambiguity and blurring the boundaries between the ordinary and the extraordinary. In this passage, Kovaloff's nose suddenly acquires a life of its own, capable of speaking and expressing its own opinions.

However, Kovaloff does not question the bizarre nature of this occurrence, suggesting that it is accepted as a normal part of the story's reality. The nose itself engages in conversation and demonstrates human-like behavior, yet the other characters, including Kovaloff, do not display shock or disbelief. This juxtaposition of a supernatural nose within an otherwise realistic setting is a characteristic feature of magical realism. The correct answer is D.

PLEASE HELP TIMED! Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
Which statement is the most objective summary of the
passage?
We all crave sweetness, now more than ever since
there are so many ways to satisfy that need. And there
are still sugar plantations where the work is brutal. In
places like the Dominican Republic (Haiti's island
neighbor), some sugar work is not very different from
what it was for Marina's Indian ancestors in British
Guiana: hard, poorly paid labor by people who are often
mistreated. But for most of us, chemists have more to
say about how we satisfy that taste than do overseers.
When sugar is in the headlines, critics speak about how
much of it we eat, not who picked the crop. Doctors
warn that young people are gaining too much weight
from eating sugary snacks; parents learn that kids who
drink too many sweet sodas can cycle between manic
sugar "highs" and grinding sugar "crashes." No one
worries about where the sweetness comes from. Our
diet was transformed by the Age of Sugar, but that era is
O Craving sweetness leads to developing poor habits
around food.
O New sources of sweetness use better techniques
than the old sources did.
O Chemists conduct work that is not interesting to
much of the public.
O Sugar cane is no longer the main source of
sweetness for most people.
