A. Read the paragraphs below.
“What is reading? Reading is a conscious and unconscious thinking process. The reader applies many strategies to reconstruct the meaning that the author is assumed to have intended. The reader does this by comparing information in the text to his or her background knowledge and prior experience.” “What is literacy? Literacy is a set of attitudes and beliefs about the ways of using spoken and written language that are acquired in the course of a person’s socialization into a specific cultural context.” “It is important to clarify the relationship between reading and literacy, since research has shown that they are not the same thing. In fact, the definitions and uses of literacy vary culturally, and the cultural contexts of literacy are the underpinnings of the acquisition and use of reading and writing.”

Read the poem I too below to answer QUESTION.
I, Too
Langston Hughes - 1901-1967
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed —
I, too, am America.

A collocation, as one of the units of formulaic language, is a series of words or terms that cooccur more often than would be expected by chance. In phraseology, a collocation is a type of compositional phraseme, meaning that it can be understood from the words that make it up. This contrasts with an idiom, where the meaning of the whole cannot be inferred from its parts, and may be completely unrelated (WARD, 2007; SCHMITT, 2007; 2012). B. Refer to the poem line “But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong”. Which is the best definition for the collocation grow strong?

Read the excerpt of the chapter “Decolonization” from the book Post-Colonial Studies:
The Key Concepts below to answer QUESTION.
“Decolonization is the process of revealing and dismantling colonialist power in all its forms.
This includes dismantling the hidden aspects of those institutional and cultural forces that had
maintained the colonialist power and that remain even after political independence is achieved.
Initially, in many places in the colonized world, the process of resistance was conducted in
terms or institutions appropriated from the colonizing culture itself. This was only to be
expected, since early nationalists had been educated to perceive themselves as potential heirs
to European political systems and models of culture. This occurred not only in settler colonies
where the white colonial élite was a direct product of the system, but even in colonies of
occupation. Macaulay’s infamous 1835 Minute on Indian Education had proposed the
deliberate creation in India of just such a class of ‘brown white men’, educated to value
European culture above their own. This is the locus classicus of this hegemonic process of
control, but there are numerous other examples in the practices of other colonies. […]
As well as direct and indirect economic control, the continuing influence of Eurocentric cultural
models privileged the imported over the indigenous: colonial languages over local languages;
writing over orality and linguistic culture over inscriptive cultures of other kinds (dance, graphic
arts, which had often been designated ‘folk culture’). Against all these occlusions and
overwritings of pre-colonial cultural practices, a number of programmes of decolonization have
been attempted. Notable among these have been those that seek to revive and revalue local
languages. The pressure of the global economy means that élite communication is dominated
by the use of the ex-colonial languages, notably the new ‘world language’ of English, whose
power derives from its historical use across the largest of the modern empires and from its use
by the United States.” (ASHCROFT, et al., 2007, p. 56-57)
I – nationalist, example, world, empire, program. II – process, culture, power, product, information. III – decolonization, information, power, education, advice. IV – institution, decolonization, advice, system, model.
B. Considering the classification between countable and uncountable nouns, in which groups do all the words share the same type of nouns?
