African mythology covers a vast area. The African continent includes so many countries, regions, languages, tribes, cultures and crossovers that the sheer diversity of prevailing Gods would seem overwhelming if there weren’t a few handy shortcuts.
Traditional African belief is overwhelmingly monotheistic. There may be spirits and ancestors floating around, but there’s only one God. Early missionaries made a complete pig’s ear of their research in this respect and seem to have delighted in cataloging as many ‘heathen’ Gods as they could possibly get away with.
African Creator Gods seem to follow a distinctive pattern — they are all extremely dissatisfied with their creations. There is much shaking of heads, turning away in sorrow and avoidance of contact. The humans are left to fend for themselves. Attempts to regain contact with their God by building a heavenly ladder are the subject of many an unhappy legend. On the whole, African Gods don’t like to be pestered, and humans have to learn to be content with their lot.
But while God sits in Heaven wringing his hands in despair, the ancestral spirits are very willing to take an active part in Earthly life. These are mostly into hunting and other practical subjects — with food, sex and booze as popular as always.
There is a remarkable innocence about the Gods of Africa. They seem naive and unworldly, believing the best of everyone and optimistically giving the benefit of the doubt to all and sundry. No wonder they are rudely disappointed when it turns out their badly-chosen favorites are up to no good.
Even communicating with their creation is full of problems. Vital messages of life and death are entrusted to whichever farmyard animal happens to be passing, and the resulting garble is likely to have profoundly unforeseen — and usually disastrous — consequences...

Which two details in the passage support the idea that Darcy is also prejudiced against Elizabeth?
"But disguise of every sort is my abhorrence"
"This is the estimation in which you hold me"
"Whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own"
"The inferiority of your connections"
"Flattered you into the belief of my being impelled by unqualified, unalloyed
inclination"
Answer:
C). "Whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own"
D). "The inferiority of your connections"
Explanation:
In the context of 'Pride and Prejudice' penned by Jane Austen, the above details from the passage support the inference that Darcy had an innate prejudice against Elizabeth which obstructed him from admiring her beauty and intellect. These details show that Darcy was biased due to the 'indigent social status' of Bennet family in general and Elizabeth in particular. This is why he treats her poorly, refuses to dance with her, and behaves rude. Thus, options C and D are the correct answers.
Answer:
"Whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own"
"The inferiority of your connections"

Explain the context of this quote
Put the quotation in your own words.
"Do that which is good, and no harm shall come to thee." Crucible act III
Answer:
"John Proctor reminds Mary a few times of this quote from the book of Tobit (also known as Tobias). This book is part of the Biblical Apocrypha, which some Christians consider to be part of the biblical canon. In this Apocryphal story, Tobias sends his son, Tobiah, on an errand. Tobiah goes, unknowingly, with an archangel (who is disguised so he cannot recognize him). According to this story, Tobiah meets a woman named Sarah who was plagued by a demon. This demon keeps killing her husbands on their wedding nights, which leaves her in great despair. Tobiah grows to care about Sarah and decides to marry her, despite the demon. Raphael tells Tobiah that no trouble will come to him if his behavior is good. In other words, because his love for Sarah is good, the demon will not overpower them. Raphael also gives him instructions to use a special fish's heart and liver to ward of the demon on their wedding night. On the evening of their marriage, Tobias is able to drive off the demon by faithfully following Raphael's instructions.
In this scene in The Crucible, John Proctor is encouraging Mary to tell the court the truth about Elizabeth and the doll that Mary gave her. Previously, Elizabeth was accused of being a witch because she owned a doll that had a pin stuck in its belly. Mary made this doll as a gift for Elizabeth and put the needle in the stomach to store the needle. Abigail, who saw this, used the opportunity to try to get Elizabeth in trouble. Abby stuck a pin in her own stomach and accused Elizabeth of using the doll to put a curse on her.
John Proctor knows that Mary is afraid to oppose Abigail by telling the court the truth. Abigail has gained such a powerful position in the Salem Witchcraft Trials; the judges listen to her accusations closely. John Proctor reminds Mary that there are Biblical examples where people do hard things for the right reasons and evil is conquered. Unfortunately, Mary eventually gives up; she abandons John and Elizabeth Proctor and allies herself with Abigail and her lies. She chooses to keep herself safe rather than to do the right thing."
