If you were starving, what would you do for food? "Condensed Milk" tells the story of a political prisoner in a Russian gulag (a forced-labor camp) who is faced with a choice: stay in the gulag—working and starving—or escape from the prison and risk dying. What choice would you make?Historical Context:

From 1929 to 1953, Joseph Stalin was the dictator of the Soviet Union. His goal was to transform the Soviet Union from a poor society into a world superpower. He used terror and violence to rule, and under his reign, millions of his own people died in work camps, from starvation due to famine, or by execution.

Select a detail to support the idea that Russian gulags treated prisoners cruelly.

Prisoners faced choices.
Prisoners had to work.
Prisoners tried to escape.
Prisoners were starving.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Prisoners were starving is the detail to support the idea that Russian gulags treated prisoners cruelly. Hence, option D is correct.

What is the concept of the passage?

A political prisoner faces a number of risks, including forced labour, deprivation of food and water, and death. It would be preferable to try to escape rather than continue to be exploited if the biggest risk for a political prisoner who attempts to escape is also death, and he has nothing to lose.

Additionally, the historical context has shown us how Stalin became a political leader through the use of fear and violence. In this instance, those who disagreed with him were detained, tortured, and made political prisoners. By focusing on the lives of political prisoners, "Condensed Milk" used the period of societal oppression brought on by a dictatorship.

Thus, option D is correct.

The sentence that contains a verb in the passive voice is option C. Day Hiking was made a priority on our trip. We consider the sentence in passive voice if the subject that performs the action is not present in the sentence; rather, the object or the receiver of the action becomes the subject of the sentence.

Which of the following indicates that the story is told in the third-person omniscent? a. The narrator is outside the story, all-knowing, and uses the pronouns he, she, and they. b. The narrator is a character in the story and uses the pronouns I, me, and we. c. The narrator is outside the story, limited in knowledge, and uses the pronouns he, she, and they.

Answers

The first alternative is correct (A).

The narrator is outside the story, all-knowing, and uses the pronouns he, she, and they.

The omniscent narrator is characterized by knowing all aspects of the story, including the characters, and narrating it in the third person, which means that he does not participate directly. In this way, of course, the narrator uses pronouns as he, she, them to refer to the characters.

The correct answer would be the option A because "Third person omniscient" is a point of view where the narrator knows all the thoughts, actions, and feelings of all characters. The author may move from character to character to show how each one contributes to the plot.

Hope this helps :-)
