What does the bird in the poem represent in the story? (Paragraph 38)

A
The bird represents Nothukula’s confidence in being away from Zimbabwe for the first time.
B
The bird represents the cruel way other students have trapped Nothukula in a lonely situation.
C
The bird represents the happiness Nothukula feels living with her loving Auntie Thandi.
D
The bird represents Nothukula’s wish to communicate with the world outside herself.

the answer is a, c, d, e

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

d. murder of a son and cooking the son for a feast

procne murdered her son and served him to tereus, her husband and her son's father. she did this out of revenge. tereus raped her sister, philomela, and cut her tongue out to keep her from talking. philomela managed to communicate it to procne and procne sought revenge.

tantalus murdered his son and fed him to the gods because he was angry with the gods. the gods punished him by putting him in a pool of water that evaporates when he tries to drink and having fruit hang just out of his reach.
