Read the excerpt from "early victorian tea set.” but a loving, tranquil cup of tea has a violent hinterland. when all tea came into europe from china, the british east india company traded opium for silver and used that silver to buy tea. the trade was so important that it brought the two countries to war. the first of the conflicts, which we still refer to as the opium wars – they were in fact just as much about tea – broke out more or less as our teapot was leaving the wedgwood factory. partly because of these difficulties with china, in the 1830s the british set up plantations in the area around calcutta and indian tea was exempted from import duty to encourage demand. what is the author’s viewpoint in this excerpt?

The answer is B!!!

Explanation:

I HAVE THE IQ OF A McCHIKEN!!!

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
