The correct answer is "Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations".
Explanation: In "The Great Fire", the narrator explains White's testimony of the Great Chicago fire; there were accounts of men taking advantage of the situation and overcharging services for people in distress, but in other instances, there were regular people who helped for free. The everyday people who chose to help without expecting anything in return were the true heroes.
Answer:
A). The writer uses empirical evidence by including specific data about student debt and loans.
B). The writer uses empirical evidence by stating the exact amount of debt that his daughter owes.
F). The writer uses anecdotal evidence by sharing a personal connection to the student debt problem.
Explanation:
The authors employ a variety of evidences to substantiate their claim in order to establish their credibility and validity of their claim. In the given passage, the author primarily employs 'anecdotal and empirical evidences' to authenticate their claim.
'Empirical evidence' is illustrated as the evidence that are produced or generated by the researchers through necessary experimentation and observation(here the father recognizes the amount of money his daughter owes i.e. $50,000 and inclusion of particular data regarding student debts and loans). While the 'Anecdotal evidence' is described as the evidence molded in the form of a story that involves decisive reliability on personal testimonies(here the father presents his personal affiliation to wider issue of student debt). Thus, <u>options A, B, and F</u> are correct.
The correct answer is imagery.
Figurative language is a simile or metaphor -- neither is used here. An allusion is a reference to a well-known person, place, or thing; an allusion is not used here. Parallelism is using similar grammatical structures and does not appear here.
Imagery is a description that appeals to any of the five senses, but especially the visual sense. In this passage, Baldwin is clearly describing the slap (which we can see and hear in our mind) of the child, the pain which reverberates through heaven -- we can visualize this pain reaching out into heaven and embedding itself in the universe.
Due to the visual power of these words, the correct answer is C.
