Answer:
B.
Explanation:
In a review titled 'Cork Floors, Yes or No?' the reviewer or the author preferably reviews that the customers should opt for cork flooring as it is eco-friendly and many people are vouching for this product.
The line that can be deleted to make the review consistent is option B. The line is repeating the information and is informal in tone. So, this line can be removed to make the review consistent and well-written.
Therefore, option B is correct.
The detail which best show that the narrator's activism has changed practices in the community is this: 'three weeks later, two businesses had signed on and two more said they do think about it. This option is the correct one because it shows that two businesses in the community has implemented the desired change already and two more businesses are on the verge of doing the same, which means the narrator's activism is already generating positive results in the community. <span />
<span>1. </span>I believe the correct answer is B. The stream of
consciousness technique.
This excerpt is an
example of Woolf's use of the stream of consciousness technique as an
experimental narrative form. This technique allowed her to present inner though
process of multiple characters throughout the text (in this excerpt the
thoughts of Septimus).
<span>2. </span>I believe the correct answer is C. intense
anxiety and fear.
From a description of
the scene, we are transported into the mind of the harrowed war soldier,
Septimus. The words such as wavered, quivered, burst, and throb, give us a
sense of his intense anxiety and fear.
<span>3. </span>I believe the correct answer is: C. "Things
fall apart; the centre cannot hold."
The description of
the scene is reminiscent of the following line from a poem “The Second coming”
by William Butler Yeats is "Things fall apart; the center cannot
hold." Septimus believes that he is the one stopping the world from
bursting to flames:” It is I who am blocking the way, he thought. Was he not
being looked at and pointed at; was he not weighted there, rooted to the
pavement, for a purpose?”
Answer and Explanation
This statement comes from the satiric article titled “Natural Selection Kills 38 Quadrillion Organisms In Bloodiest Day Yet”.
The article is a satire on how violent and ruthless natural selection can be. Natural Selection is an essential part of life. It is pivotal for evolution and it is the force that separates successful adaptations from those which are not. Natural selection, in the form of the struggle between prey and predator, is also essential to ensure there is a biomass equilibrium. This equilibrium is essential for a healthy ecosystem, and therefore to the perpetuation of life over our planet.
The irony in the statement “It is painfully clear this slaughter was perpetrated by a force that holds zero regard for the value of life” comes from a deep understanding of natural selection as an essential force of nature, as an indispensable part of life. Natural selection implies death, and therefore death is a fundamental part of life. Therefore, stating that “this force holds zero regard for the value of life” becomes an ironic comment on the paradoxical and yet indispensable relationship between death and life.
