The quotation from valéry that best expresses what he meant by the “crisis of the mind” that europe experienced after world war i is

“we had long heard tell of whole worlds that had vanished, of empires sunk without a trace, gone down with all their men and all their machines into the unexplorable depths of the centuries . . ”
“never has so much been read, nor with such passion, as during the war: ask the booksellers . . never have people prayed so much and so deeply: ask the priests.”
“the military crisis may be over. the economic crisis is still with us in all its force. but the intellectual crisis, being more subtle and, by its nature, assuming the most deceptive appearances . . this crisis will hardly allow us to grasp its true extent, its phase.”
“no one can say what will be dead or alive tomorrow, in literature, philosophy, aesthetics; no one yet knows what ideas and modes of expression will be inscribed on the casualty list, what novelties will be proclaimed. hope, of course, remains . . ”

“The military crisis may be over. The economic crisis is still with us in all its force. But the intellectual crisis, being more subtle and, by its nature, assuming the most deceptive appearances . . . this crisis will hardly allow us to grasp its true extent, its phase.”

Valéry describes the effects of the war on the European continent. He argues that, as the war came to an end, the military crisis ended as well. The economic crisis remained and was difficult to overcome. However, the intellectual crisis was difficult to judge just yet, because of its extent. It was a more subtle and deceptive crisis, but equally real. This was the "crisis of the mind" in Europe.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
