Hello. You have not entered the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is likely that this text is referring to a recipe, in this case, we can assume that if Atwood used the word "conjure" instead of "make" or "bake", it is because she is referring to this recipe as a magic ritual that intends to invoke something spiritual, divine, like the bread or cake that this recipe may be referring to.

What inference does the text best support?

Savatey [412]

Helmer's self esteem depends on the people believe that he is not influenced by his wife.

Explanation:

He says to his wife that he will not listen to her decisions as he doesn't want people to think that he is under his wife's influence. He says it will be hard for him to deal with people in his office if they get to know that he let's his wife take decisions.

He wants to show other that he has the authority. This is the good example of male chauvinism in the society and how women are not taken seriously in any aspect.

gtnhenbr [62]

The option which best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead" is:

A. the fall of America.

This question refers to the poem "America" by Jamaican-American author Claude McKay, more specifically to lines 11 to 14, in which the speaker addresses the fall of America:

"Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,

And see her might and granite wonders there,

Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,

Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."

What the speaker means is that he sees the fall of America in "the days ahead." Throughout the poem, the speaker talks of his bittersweet relationship with America. His feelings are somewhere between love and hate or resentment.
Although he can see America's wonders, beauty, and potential, he can also see its flaws - the prejudice, the corruption.
In conclusion, the speaker believes America's fate is a bad one. In the future, the country will fall.
