Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. In the context of the sentences, "Therefore" is the most appropriate transition as it shows a cause - and - effect relationship. The first sentence states Anansi is the owner of all stories, so the second sentence about giving credit to Anansi follows as a result.
  2. In sentence 3, "gain" is the correct form as it is part of the infinitive "to gain" which is used correctly in the context of expressing purpose. "Privilege" is spelled correctly, the comma after "stories" is necessary for clarity, and "Nyame" is a proper noun and should be capitalized.

Answer:

  1. B. Therefore
  2. None of the options are correct.
