Explanation

What is Max's attitude towards racial relations, in the novel? Max is a legal practitioner of repute. He is clearly dis-satisfied with American society. He does not favour the subjugation of minority groups in the Union. This attitude may explain his joining the communist Party and the Labour Defenders.

Whether Max's joining the communist Party is a means of personal escape or an avenue for political achieve-ment, Max takes exception to the racial relations. Max knows all about the black situation. As he points out to Bigger in prison, the whole black race, including other minorities, and its structures are kept together and alive only by faith. Losing that adhesive causes the collaspse of any ideals that the blacks. This is why Max urges Bigger, even at the point when Bigger is headed for the electric chair, to be staunch in his belief in him-self. For Max, it is unacceptable to regard any human being as second rate or deny him opportunities. Segregation is wrong; condescension is not constructive.

Max's pointed interrogation of Mr. Dalton is very reveal-ing. The millionaire philanthropist toes the line of the system. In his grand offers to and patronage of blacks, Mr. Dalton appears to be eager to be seen as doing good though not doing desirable good. Max does not accept that Mr. Dalton should be allow to perpetrate the wrongs of the system simply because, in what Bigger has done, a grave harm has been done to two people who've helped Negroes more than anyone else. He insisted that it critical to go to the root of the matter of the black-white dichotomy. In sending a dozen pingpong tables to the south side Boys' Club, Mr Dalton is only scratching the surface of the problem. Max asserts that pingpong will not keep men from murdering.

Max also rejects Mr. Dalton's attitude towards his own philanthropy. When he emplos\ys the likes of Bigger, he send them to school. But he does not employ the edu-cated blacks he creates. Mr Dalton is not shifting from the path beaten by the system. The system does not permit him and he cannot make his Negro tenants pay a fair rent. Seeing the Bigger saga as one throb of the heratbeat of the minority groups, Max insists that killling this boy isn't going to help us any. Nobody is asking Mr. Dalton to atone for suffering that is not his creation. But from Max's point view, what Mr. Dalton is doing doesn't help. Max considers the conventional treatment of the black man as inconsistent with a good man's conscience and he cannot support those who uphold the system.

Points to note

(a) Max's stance on racial relations

(b) Max's defence of Bigger

(c) Max's indictment of the whites

(d) Max's final submission on Bigger

Correct Answer: C. dissolved fertilizers

Correct Answer: C. lV

Correct Answer: D. \(-10x^{2}k^{3}\)

Explanation

\((x - k)^{5} = ^{5}C_{0}x^{5}(-k)^{0} + ^{5}C_{1}x^{4}(-k)^{1} + ...\)

The fourth term in the expansion = \(^{5}C_{4 - 1}(x)^{5 - 3}(-k)^{3 = 10 \times x^{2} \times -k^{3}\)

= \(-10x^{2}k^{3}\)

Explanation

(a) Branding is the act of giving a distinctive name or label to product. It helps in creating, stimulating and maintaining demand for it. It is a form of advertising. Examples of branding includes: 505 ( Peugeot), BMW, Elephant blue deterge Omo, Guider, star, maltex, etc.

(b) Ways in which branding affects the consumer are:

(i) Branded goods are more costly.

(ii) Too many brands may confuse the consumer.

(iii) It encourages standardized pricing.

(iv) Branding informs the consumer about the existence of a particular product.

(v) It simplifies buying and saves time in the selection of goods or it encourage self-service

(vi) It is an assurance that the standard or quality will be maintained by the manufacturer.

(vii) The consumer place order from his home, it therefore encourages self-selection and mail -order business.

Correct Answer: D) Charles Darwin

Explanation

The question is asking about the person who proposed the mutation theory of organic evolution. The mutation theory suggests that evolution occurs through the accumulation of small changes, or mutations, in an organism's genetic material over time. Out of the options given, Gregor Mendel is known for his work on genetics and inheritance, Hugo de Vries is known for his work on plant genetics and mutations, Jean Lamarck is known for his theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, and Robert Hookes is known for his work in cell biology. The correct answer to this question is Charles Darwin, who is famous for his theory of natural selection and his book On the Origin of Species. While he did not propose the mutation theory of evolution specifically, his work on natural selection and the idea of gradual change over time through small variations in traits paved the way for the mutation theory. It is important to note that while the mutation theory was popular in the early 20th century, it is now largely outdated as more research has been done on the mechanisms of evolution. Modern evolutionary theory incorporates concepts such as genetic drift and gene flow in addition to natural selection and mutation. In summary, the correct answer to this question is Charles Darwin, who is known for his theory of natural selection. While he did not propose the mutation theory specifically, his work laid the foundation for the idea of gradual change over time through small variations in traits. It is important to note that the mutation theory is now largely outdated in modern evolutionary theory.

Explanation

(a) Winds:Warm winds raise the temperature of adjacent coastlands, e.g the westerlies bring warm air into Western Europe. Cold winds lower the temperature of adjacent coastlands e.g cold polar winds lower the temperature of the coasts of Newfoundland. Warm, moist winds from the ocean bring rainfall to the adjacent coastland, e.g S.W Monsoon in West Africa. Dry winds from the interior do not produce rain rather they produce dust and dryness, e.g Northeast trade wind brings no rain but dust and dryness to the coastal lands of West Africa. Off shore winds blowing from the interior to the coast produce fogs at the coast, e.g fog formation along the Namibian coast.

(b) Ocean Current: Cold currents lower the temperature of adjacent coastlands e.g the Benguella current, currents help in

the formation of foes along the coast e.g cold Benguela and Canaries current. Warm currents raise temperature of the adjacent coastlands e.g warm Guinea and warm Mozambican currents. Cold currents result in the formation of coastal deserts e.g Kalahari desert because of cold Benguela current, Sahara desert bec use of cold canaries current

(c) Distance from the sea:Generally the further inland from the sea the less rainfall, e.g Freetown on the coast and Timbuktu inland. Smaller range of temperature along the coast than inland e.g Calabar (less than 30°C) and Agades (more than 15°C) Higher humidity along the coast than further inland generally (one town along the coast and any town inland). Thicker cloud cover along the coast than inland.

Correct Answer: A) Communication

Correct Answer: A. cocoa,oilpalm,rubber and kola

Correct Answer: C. haven't had

Explanation

haven't had is most appropriate. This is known as the present perfect tense which is used to show that an action has been completed (or not) as of the time of speaking.
