Answer:

<em>'He is the same colour </em><em>as </em><em>the earth, and a great deal less interesting to look at.'</em>

Explanation:

George Orwell uses Simile, a figurative language device that compares two things using the adverbs like or as.

When describing the people working on the land he refers to them as the unvisible part of a (beautiful) visible landscape. This is a very subtle way of critisizing the British Empire that ignores (they don´t see them) the working people who, seen by Orwell, are doing important work.

This module discusses various types of literature reviews. Which type is most likely to be smaller in scope and length?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The type of literature review that is most likely to be smaller in scope and length is:

a. stand-alone literature review.

Explanation:

The aims of a stand-alone literature review and a literature review of  chapters in a dissertation are different.  Whereas a stand-alone literature review summarizes and evaluates the current knowledge of a specific topic, a literature review of chapters in a dissertation aims to describe and address the gaps in the current knowledge of the specific topic.  This is because it forms part of the research proposal or project.  It is a way of addressing the gap instead of just summarizing or evaluating the available knowledge as a stand-alone literature review does.
