Which excerpt from the passage most clearly demonstrates the effect of the construction of the berlin wall on the people of germany? a ". . for it is, as your mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together." b "in 18 years of peace and good faith, this generation of germans has earned the right to be free, including the right to unite their families and their nation in lasting peace, with good will to all people." c "freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us." d "there are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the communist world. let them come to berlin."

The answer is A.People were separated and alienated.The wall was an offense  to humanity because it pointed out that there was a need to perform a bisection.People could not choose where to be, if on one side or the other and that was the gratest insult of all, the loss of freedom .In adition ,feelings, bonds, loyalties were not taken into account.The wall was a picture of division in the world and that was offensive for every inhabitant who was segregated from what they  loved.It is difficult to have everyone sharing an ideology, religion or an opinion but building a wall to show a difference was outrageous.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
