Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. Judge Miller's place, it was called. It stood back from the road, half-hidden among the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran around its four sides. The house was approached by graveled driveways which wound about through wide-spreading lawns and under the interlacing boughs of tall poplars. At the rear, things were on even a more spacious scale than at the front. There were great stables, where a dozen grooms and boys held forth, rows of vine-clad servants' cottages, an endless and orderly array of outhouses, long grape arbors, green pastures, orchards, and berry patches. Then there was the pumping plant for the artesian well, and the big cement tank where Judge Miller's boys took their morning plunge and kept cool in the hot afternoon.Which type of writing is this excerpt classified as?

A)."It was only when I began to learn that my boyhood freedom was an illusion, when I discovered as a young man that my freedom had already been taken from me, that I began to hunger for it. At first as a student I wanted freedom only for myself, the transitory freedoms of being able to stay out at night, read what I pleased and go where I chose". i)The title that best suits this extract is a) Freedom for everything b) Knowledge about Freedom c) Significance of Freedom d) Realisation of Freedom

Answers

Answer:

c) Significance of Freedom.

Explanation:

In his autobiography "Long Walk to Freedom," Nelson Mandela recalls his life of being an African in South Africa fighting for equal rights. The book also details his suffering and that of his people for their freedom.

The given quote shows Mandela talking about freedom and how he began to know the significance of it for not only him, but everyone. He said, "as a student, I wanted freedom only for myself, the transitory freedoms of being able to stay out at night, read what I pleased and go where I chose." But that all changed when his definition of 'freedom' changed, his perception of being free changed. He knows the importance of freedom for his people and would begin to see it as his goal.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.
