The author used verbal irony. What he said was different from what he meant, as it obviously was far from the downpour he described.

Explanation:

Although the prediction was one of heavy rain, there was no heavy rain and no flooding. Even so, the commentator talked as if there was one knowing that there wasn't.

By definition, irony is <em>"the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect."</em>

Which person has the best qualifications to write a credible article about the
tangare [24]

Answer:

I think its B

Explanation:

since a professor has already written books on the production of food he should be well prepared for writing an article. People who already write have a better ability to grab a reader's attention.

the tv reporter has only visited a single fast food museum, so he wouldn't have much to write on.

the former worker is already mad at being fired (he would write negatively about the place) and only has knowledge about meat. (in my opinion)

the senator could be a good option but his field is law not writing.

hope this helps :-)

How does the pacing of this passage affect the reader's interpretation of the text? Select three options. O The flashback to ear
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

  • The slowing of the pace shows readers the cause of the windmill's destruction.
  • The slowing of the pace creates suspense for readers about what is to come.
  • The slowing of the pace gives readers details about the storm and its aftermath.​

Explanation:

Pace is a common tool used by authors to develop the text and this was used in chapter 6 of the Animal Farm. It is the first year since Napoleon chased Snowball from the farm and assumed power and he had began building the Windmill.

The windmill however collapses one night but the pace which the story was slowed down to allowed for suspense to be created as well as for the reader to learn the causes of the windmill's destruction as well as details of the storm and its aftermath.
