Read the excerpt from part 2 of zeitoun. zeitoun went outside, the air humid and gusty. he tied the canoe to the back porch. the water was whispering through the cracks in the back fence, rising up. it was flowing into his yard at an astonishing rate. as he stood, it swallowed his ankles and crawled up his shins. back inside, he continued to move everything of value upward. as he did, he watched the water erase the floor and climb the walls. in another hour there was three feet of water indoors. and his house was three feet above street level. what conclusion can readers draw about this character vs. nature conflict?
a. zeitoun’s strength allows him to save all of his possessions.
b. as a result of the flood’s force, zeitoun’s confidence is lost.
c. despite zeitoun’s competence, his home sustains damage.
d. zeitoun’s fear of the flood forces him to abandon his efforts.

C. Despite Zeitoun’s competence, his home sustains damage.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, it can be understood that no matter how hard Zeitoun tries to protect his possessions from the flood, the speed with which water enters his property makes every effort almost useless. The character is completely unable to fight against nature, and will eventually have to resign himself to lose his posessions.

the economic activity signified in that scenario is a. production

in general, market production makes reference to the elaboration of a product or service which is destinated for economic purposes (to be sold) at money-price in a market. such product or service has to be principally tradable for money.

there is no money exchange involved in distribution, generalized reciprocity or balanced reciprocity.

b. the poet identifies with private people.

    in the stanza, dickinson states she doesn't wish to seek fame and recognition from the public eye. nor is she afraid of authority figures, and you can definitely tell she isn't hiding something. more as she identifies with private people, who are not known by the community
