Please explain the event that occurred between Elie, Idek, and the French girl (Night)
Answer:
A French girl helped Elie after he was beaten brutally by Idek
Explanation:
This narrative is from Night by Elie Wiesel.
Eliezer (Elie) was a Jewish prisoner in a concentration camp during the holocaust. Idek was an SS officer and the Kapo in charge of Eliezer’s work crew. In the narrative, we see Idek is a lustful and selfish man given often (or easily susceptible) to fits of rage. On one of such occasion, while in his natural element, Idek brutally beat Eliezer. After having being thus dealt with by Idek, a French girl (who works next to Eliezer in the warehouse) came to his aid by giving him bread and encouraged Elie to remain strong. Many years later, Eliezer ran into this French girl in Paris where he learned that she was a French Jew who had passed as an Aryan

2. Unlike other players who were playing baseball in Puerto Rico, Clemente chose to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve during the 1958-59 off season (the National Archives).
3. Clemente joined the United States Marine Corps Reserve in the 1958-59 off season, while other players were in Puerto Rico playing winter baseball (the National Archives).
4. Clemente, instead of playing winter ball in Puerto Rico during the 1958-59 off season like the rest of the league, enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve (the National Archives).
5. During the 1958-59 off season, Clemente joined the United States Marine Corps Reserve instead of playing winter ball in Puerto Rico like the rest of the league (the National Archives).
6. Clemente enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve instead of playing winter ball in Puerto Rico during the 1958-59 off season like the rest of the league (the National Archives).
Answer:
The three sentences that paraphrase correctly the sentence are:
3. Clemente joined the United States Marine Corps Reserve in the 1958-59 off season, while other players were in Puerto Rico playing winter baseball (the National Archives).
2. Unlike other players who were playing baseball in Puerto Rico, Clemente chose to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve during the 1958-59 off season (the National Archives).
1. In 1958-59, Clemente joined the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve while other players in the league played winter ball in Puerto Rico (the National Archives).
Explanation:
The reasons behind this answer are the following: first of all, we can see something very clearly in those three options the meaning of the sentence prevails. While the rest losses it. First, because they don't say that he joined the marine corps in the offseason of 1958-1959. Instead they say that he joined the marine corps for only that period. Second, the fifth option says that the whole league joined the marine corps when they didn't. Thus, this is the correct answer.

The final scene of the play completes the revenge triangle. Describe how all the sons of the murdered fathers (King Hamlet, King Fortinbras, and Polonius) have seen vengeance served.
Answer:
the answer is King Hamlet
Explanation:
The final scene of the play completes the revenge triangle. The sons have satisfied both the medieval norm of honor and the Christian expectation of forgiveness. Most significantly, Hamlet is now a fighter.
What is Hamlet?At the start of the play, Hamlet was about thirty years old. He is also the son of Queen Gertrude and the late Monarch Hamlet, as well as the nephew of the current king, Claudius, The King of Denmark, who is the antagonist of the play.
The central tension of the play is Hamlet's desire to kill Claudius in order to avenge his father's death. However, he is too hesitant to make a decision and cannot bring himself to do so. However, near the end of the play, Hamlet finally kills Claudius. This is the play's climax.
Therefore, the retribution triangle is completed in the play's last scene. Both the medieval norm of honor and the Christian expectation of forgiveness have been met by the sons. Most importantly, Hamlet has become a fighter.
