Read this excerpt from the passage.

I believe there are few events in my life, which have not happened to many: it is true the incidents of it are numerous; and, did I consider myself an European, I might say my sufferings were great: but when I compare my lot with that of most of my countrymen, I regard myself as a particular favourite of Heaven, and acknowledge the mercies of Providence in every occurrence of my life.

Which statement describes the author's viewpoint in this excerpt?

1) He believes that his suffering has been minimal compared to other Africans.
2) He believes that Africans and Europeans view life similarly.
3) He believes that suffering has defined his life.
4) He believes that Africans are able to find solace in religion.

Answer:

1) He believes that his suffering has been minimal...

Explanation:

“... but when I compare my lot with that if most of my countrymen, I regard my myself as a particular favourite of Heaven...” He believes that when compared to others, his suffering has been minimal.

Answer:

1) He believes that his suffering has been minimal compared to other Africans.

Explanation:

In "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano" written by himself, he describes how his life had been as a former slave living in Europe. This memoir serves as a from of slave narrative or even a travel narrative of the author's attempts at escaping being a slave and the work he undertook to help his fellow African men after gaining his freedom.

The excerpt in the question is taken from Chapter I of the memoir where he narrates how he was lucky, more lucky than his fellow countrymen who are still stuck being slaves. He also believes that though he had his fair share of misfortune and suffering, they are minimal in comparison to the suffering faced by his other Black countrymen.

Anson Does It All
by Marty Tarvin

In the third week of school, Anson and Enrique went to the Activities Fair, an event put on to give students a chance to sign up for afterschool clubs and activities. Enrique had already planned to join the Science Club, while Anson was really excited about all the options he could choose from.
Once inside the gymnasium, Enrique quickly lost sight of Anson, who had darted off to sign up for every club or project he could get to. At one point, Enrique caught up with him as he was signing up for the Pals Club.
“Anson, you’re excited, but you can’t do everything.” advised Enrique.
“It’s OK,” said Anson. “I can handle it.”
“It looks that way now, but you’ll see,” he said, as Anson signed up for Pals Club and moved on to another table.
Over the next month, Anson was a blur as he went about trying to keep up with everything he had signed up for. Finally, in the third week after the Activities Fair, Enrique noticed that Anson wasn’t around after school like usual. Then, he found him at lunch one day.
“Hey, where have you been?” Enrique asked.
Fixing Enrique with an exhausted gaze, Anson said, “I failed a math test and missed some assignments, so Dad said I had to do either afterschool stuff or weekend activities, not both. And mom was really done when I fell asleep at the dinner table, so I’m catching up on my sleep and sticking with soccer and my guitar lessons.”
“Smart move,” said Enrique.



What is the central idea of the passage?
A.
One must take care when doing activities after school.
B.
Taking advice from others may prove to be beneficial.
C.
Relaxation and meditation are important activities.
D.
Overloading oneself can lead to unforeseen consequences.

As on all its sides a kitchen-match darts white
flickering tongues before it bursts into flame:
with the audience around her, quickened, hot,
her dance begins to flicker in the dark room.

5 And all at once it is completely fire.

One upward glance and she ignites her hair
and, whirling faster and faster, fans her dress
into passionate flames, till it becomes a furnace
from which, like startled rattlesnakes, the long
10 naked arms uncoil, aroused and clicking.

And then: as if the fire were too tight
around her body, she takes and flings it out
haughtily, with an imperious gesture,
and watches: it lies raging on the floor,
15 still blazing up, and the flames refuse to die -
Till, moving with total confidence and a sweet
exultant smile, she looks up finally
and stamps it out with powerful small feet.


What is compared in the first stanza?

the dance and a kitchen match when it is first struck
the dancer and a kitchen match when it is first struck
the dancer and the brilliant flame of a kitchen match
the audience and the heat from a lighted kitchen match


What is the meaning of imperious as it is used in Line 13?

commanding

1 I do not wish to speak of those political associations with the aid of which men seek to defend themselves against the despotic action of a majority or against the encroachments of royal power. I have already treated this subject elsewhere. It is clear that if each citizen, as he becomes individually weaker and consequently more incapable in isolation of preserving his freedom, does not learn the art of uniting with those like him to defend it, tyranny will necessarily grow with equality.2 Here it is a question only of the associations that are formed in civil life and which have an object that is in no way political.3 The political associations that exist in the United States form only a detail in the midst of the immense picture that the sum of associations presents there.4 Americans of all ages, all conditions, all minds constantly unite. Not only do they have commercial and industrial associations in which all take part, but they also have a thousand other kinds: religious, moral, grave, futile, very general and very particular, immense and very small; Americans use associations to give fêtes, to found seminaries, to build inns, to raise churches, to distribute books, to send missionaries to the antipodes; in this manner they create hospitals, prisons, schools. Finally, if it is a question of bringing to light a truth or developing a sentiment with the support of a great example, they associate. Everywhere that, at the head of a new undertaking, you see the government in France and a great lord in England, count on it that you will perceive an association in the United States.5 In America I encountered sorts of associations of which, I confess, I had no idea, and I often admired the infinite art with which the inhabitants of the United States managed to fix a common goal to the efforts of many men and to get them to advance to it freely.6 I have since traveled through England, from which the Americans took some of their laws and many of their usages, and it appeared to me that there they were very far from making as constant and as skilled a use of association.7 It often happens that the English execute very great things in isolation, whereas there is scarcely an undertaking so small that Americans do not unite for it. It is evident that the former consider association as a powerful means of action; but the latter seem to see in it the sole means they have of acting.8 Thus the most democratic country on earth is found to be, above all, the one where men in our day have most perfected the art of pursuing the object of their common desires in common and have applied this new science to the most objects. Does this result from an accident or could it be that there in fact exists a necessary relation between associations and equality?9 Aristocratic societies always include within them, in the midst of a multitude of individuals who can do nothing by themselves, a few very powerful and very wealthy citizens; each of these can execute great undertakings by himself.10 In aristocratic societies men have no need to unite to act because they are kept very much together.11 Each wealthy and powerful citizen in them forms as it were the head of a permanent and obligatory association that is composed of all those he holds in dependence to him, whom he makes cooperate in the execution of his designs.12 In democratic peoples, on the contrary, all citizens are independent and weak; they can do almost nothing by themselves, and none of them can oblige those like themselves to lend them their cooperation. They therefore all fall into impotence if they do not learn to aid each other freely.13 If men who live in democratic countries had neither the right nor the taste to unite in political goals, their independence would run great risks, but they could preserve their wealth and their enlightenment for a long time; whereas if they did not acquire the practice of associating with each other in ordinary life, civilization itself would be in peril. A people among whom particular persons lost the power of doing great things in isolation, without acquiring the ability to produce them in common, would soon return to barbarism.14 Unhappily, the same social state that renders associations so necessary to democratic peoples renders them more difficult for them than for all the others. 15 When several members of an aristocracy want to associate with each other they easily succeed in doing so. As each of them brings great force to society, the number of members can be very few, and, when the members are few in number, it is very easy for them to know each other, to understand each other, and to establish fixed rules.16 The same facility is not found in democratic nations, where it is always necessary that those associating be very numerous in order that the association have some power.
