Read the poem. the pardah nashin by sarojini naidu sarojini naidu was an indian poet and activist. known as the "nightingale of india," she advocated for india's independence, social welfare, and equal rights. the pardah is a religious and social practice of seclusion in some hindu or muslim communities of south asia. women are either physically separated from males using separate buildings, screens, walls, or curtains, or they may be concealed by loose clothing and veils. her life is a revolving dream of languid and sequestered ease; her girdles and her fillets gleam like changing fires on sunset seas; her raiment is like morning mist, shot opal, gold and amethyst. from thieving light of eyes impure, from coveting sun or wind's caress, her days are guarded and secure behind her carven lattices, like jewels in a turbaned crest, like secrets in a lover's breast. but though no hand unsanctioned dares unveil the mysteries of her grace, time lifts the curtain unawares, and sorrow looks into her face . . who shall prevent the subtle years, or shield a woman's eyes from tears? what is the central idea of this poem? a. religious traditions are essential to happiness and prosperity. b. locking women away behind walls, screens, or curtains robs them of their dignity. c. a woman's beauty is equal to that of the stars and heavens. d. cultural practices, like the pradah, are necessary to protect women.

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
