Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876):
"His aunt Polly stood surprised a moment, and then broke into a gentle laugh. 'Hang the boy, can't I never learn anything? Ain't he played me tricks enough like that for me to be looking out for him by this time ? But old fools is the biggest fools there is. Can't learn an old dog new tricks, as the saying is. But my goodness, he never plays them alike, two days, and how is a body to know what's coming?'"
The quote "Can't learn an old dog new tricks" is an idiom in English language and it means:

Read the following excerpt from James Baldwin's
Giovanni's Room (1956):
" I remember that life in that room seemed to be occurring beneath the sea. Time flowed past indifferently above us; hours and days had no meaning. In the beginning, our life together held a joy and amazement which was newborn every day. Beneath the joy, of course, was anguish and beneath the amazement was fear; but they did not work themselves to the beginning until our high beginning was aloes on our tongues. By then anguish and fear had become the surface on which we slipped and slid, losing balance, dignity, and pride. Giovanni's face, which I had memorized so many mornings, noons, and nights, hardened before my eyes, began to give in secret places, began to crack."
In the sentence "Beneath the joy, of course, was anguish and beneath the amazement was fear", what is correct about the word "anguish" in this context?

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
(1º§) The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the Yucatán around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Maya developed astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing. The Maya were noted as well for elaborate and highly decorated ceremonial architecture, including temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories, all built without metal tools. They were also skilled farmers, clearing large sections of tropical rain forest and, where groundwater was scarce, building sizeable underground reservoirs for the storage of rainwater. The Maya were equally skilled as weavers and potters, and cleared routes through jungles and swamps to foster extensive trade networks with distant peoples.
(2º§) Around 300 B.C., the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government with rule by nobles and kings. This civilization developed into highly structured kingdoms during the Classic period, A.D. 200-900. Their society consisted of many independent states, each with a rural farming community and large urban sites built around ceremonial centres. It started to decline around A.D. 900 when - for reasons which are still largely a mystery - the southern Maya abandoned their cities. When the northern Maya were integrated into the Toltec society by A.D. 1200, the Maya dynasty finally came to a close, although some peripheral centres continued to thrive until the Spanish Conquest in the early sixteenth century.
(3º§) Maya history can be characterized as cycles of rise and fall: city-states rose in prominence and fell into decline, only to be replaced by others. It could also be described as one of continuity and change, guided by a religion that remains the foundation of their culture. For those who follow the ancient Maya traditions, the belief in the influence of the cosmos on human lives and the necessity of paying homage to the gods through rituals continues to find expression in a modern hybrid Christian-Maya faith.

The Ringmaster's Advice
People say, "any publicity is good publicity" allthe
time. It's become a modern truism. But people don't seem
to give much thought to where it came from.
While there is no proof that he used exactly those
words, the quote is widely attributed to showman P.T.
Barnum. I think it's safe to say that even if he never said
"any publicity is good publicity," it describes his lived
ethos.
P.T. Barnum was the founder of the Barnum &
Bailey Circus, billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth." He
advertised fake mermaids and a woman who claimed to
be George Washington's 161-year-old nurse. Barnum's
traveling shows featured midgets, Siamese twins, bearded
ladies, and even "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy."
There's no record of him saying these exact words
either, but he is also widely credited with the quote,
"there's a sucker born every minute."
P.T. Barnum did describe himself as the "Prince of
Humbug," proudly owning his reputation for hoaxes and
"harmless" deceptions.
Barnum was an interesting character, but he's not
a man we should be encouraging other men, especially
young men, to emulate. Unfortunately, his ethos is more
or less what social media has been teaching kids for the
past ten years.
And at the same time, everyone complains that
everything is "fake and ghey."
Well... if you follow the ringmaster's advice, don't
be surprised when you end up living in a circus.

Politics of colour thrives in Hindi belt
(1º§) Uttar Pradesh's chief ministers are known to go into
an overdrive to promote their party flags' colours. BSP's
Mayawati painted Lucknow blue, SP's Akhilesh Yadav
replaced it with a dash of green and red and now it's
Yogi's turn to go saffron.
(2º§) Lucknow: As soon as you alight from a train or an
aircraft in Lucknow, the first signage that greets you,
says, "Muskuraiye ki aap Lucknow mein hain." The colour
of this signage will also inform you about the party that is
in power in Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow is, perhaps, the only
state capital in the country where the politics of colour
dominates the development projects of the city.
(3º§) The politics of colour was initially started by the
Bahujan Samaj Party in 2007 when the party came to
power with a comfortable majority on its own and blue
become the dominant colour of official signages.
(4º§) Prof Ramesh Dixit, a retired professor in political
sciences, explained the competition among parties to
popularise their preferred party colour. "The parties that
pursue politics of colour want their voters to identify with
colours. This makes it easy for them to campaign with
T-shirts and gamchas in the colours of their parties," he
said. "The bureaucracy has played a major role in fuelling
this colour politics. They are the ones who go into an
overdrive to please their political bosses. They use this to
justify the huge amounts of money spent in replacing
signages and re-painting railings and gates," he said.
(5º§) For Ms Mayawati, the brain behind colour branding
in politics, her election as chief minister was a time to go
blue - the party's official and flag colour - with a
vengeance. All road railings and signage were painted
blue, traffic constables also got a change of uniform -
white shirt and blue pants in place of an all white dress.
Incidentally, the colour of traffic cops' has remained so
since then. Under Mayawati's rule, the official phone
directory also came with a blue cover and government
hoardings had a blue background. The stages for all
programmes attended by the then chief minister, were
draped in blue.
(6º§) The BSP rallies were known for men painting their
bodies in blue and carrying blue elephant replicas. When
the Samajwadi Party came to power in 2012, the first
decision taken by its chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was to
change the colour of official signages to green. The blue
colour flew off the railings and road dividers and an
emphatic green replaced it. Stages for official events had
bold red and green backdrop, and the official phone
directory turned green.
(7º§) When the BJP came to power last year, chief
minister Yogi Adityanath shunned the rival parties'
colours and started the saffron revolution. Spotting the chief minister's penchant for all things saffron, the state
bureaucracy went into an overdrive and got saffron
curtains, saffron towels, saffron diaries, saffron hoardings
and saffron flowers for government programmes and
offices. State minister Siddhartha Nath Singh defended
the saffron wave and said, "Saffron is a colour that
denotes positivity. The rising sun is saffron in colour.
What is the problem if we want to bring positivity into the
government?"
