What makes magua the antagonist in this passage?
"i will go no further! " cried cora, stopping unexpectedly on a ledge of rock, that overhung a deep precipice, at no great distance from the summit of the mountain. "kill me if thou wilt, detestable huron; i will go no further."
the supporters of the maiden raised their ready tomahawks with the impious joy that fiends are thought to take in mischief, but magua stayed the uplifted arms. the huron chief, after casting the weapons he had wrested from his companions over the rock, drew his knife, and turned to his captive, with a look in which conflicting passions fiercely contended.
"woman," he said, "chose; the wigwam or the knife of le subtil! "
cora regarded him not, but dropping on her knees, she raised her eyes and stretched her arms toward heaven, saying in a meek and yet confiding voice:
"i am thine; do with me as thou seest best! "
"woman," repeated magua, hoarsely, and endeavoring in vain to catch a glance from her serene and beaming eye, "choose! "
but cora neither heard nor heeded his demand. the form of the huron trembled in every fibre, and he raised his arm on high, but dropped it again with a bewildered air, like one who doubted. once more he struggled with himself and lifted the keen weapon again; but just then a piercing cry was heard above them, and uncas appeared, leaping frantically, from a fearful height, upon the ledge. magua recoiled a step; and one of his assistants, profiting by the chance, sheathed his own knife in the bosom of cora.
a. the narration is not from his point of view.
b. he is in conflict with uncas.
c. his personality is harsh and wild.
d. he is in conflict with cora.

Ajourney with my father adapted from my reminiscences by sir rabindranath tagore probably in order to teach me to be careful, my father placed a little small change in my charge and required me to keep an account of it. he also entrusted me with the duty of winding his valuable gold watch for him. he overlooked the risk of damage in his desire to train me to a sense of responsibility. when we went out together for our morning walk, he would ask me to give alms to any beggars we came across. but i never could render him a proper account at the end of it. one day, my balance was larger than the account warranted. "i really must make you my cashier," observed my father. "money seems to have a way of growing in your hands! " that watch of his i wound up with such indefatigable1 zeal that it had very soon to be sent to the watchmaker's in calcutta. i am reminded of the time when, later in life, i was appointed to manage the estate and had to lay before my father, owing to his failing eyesight, a statement of accounts on the second or third of every month. i had first to read out the totals under each head, and if he had any doubts on any point, he would ask for the details. if i made any attempt to slur over or keep out of sight any item which i feared he would not like, it was sure to come out. so, these first few days of the month were very anxious ones for me. as i have said, my father had the habit of keeping everything clearly before his mind—whether figures of accounts, or ceremonial arrangements, or additions or alterations to property. he had never seen the new assembly hall built at bolpur, and yet, he was familiar with every detail of it from questioning those who came to see him after a visit to bolpur. he had an extraordinary memory, and when once he got hold of a fact, it never escaped him. my father asked me to copy the favourite verses, with their translation, from the book he liked reading every day. at home, i had been a boy of no account. here, when these important functions were entrusted to me, i felt the glory of the situation. 1. tireless 7 how does the narrator support the idea that his father keeps everything clearly before his mind? a. by giving the example of his father's response when his account did not tally with the money that he had in hand b. by mentioning that his father was interested in everything that happened around him c. by giving the example of his father knowing every detail of the new assembly hall at bolpur d. by mentioning that his father had marked his favorite verses from his favorite book
