<u>Answer:</u>

"Provisional drivers could each save up to £500 on their car insurance by undertaking advanced driving lessons," the government has confirmed. "We want people to go on improving their driving skills throughout their driving careers," said David Ashworth, a junior minister at the Department for Transport. "This is about creating the right sort of education and incentivising people to do it."

Explanation:

<u>Inverted commas are also known as quotation marks. Their purpose is to indicate which words or sentences inside that structure were spoken by someone. We place a pair of inverted commas at the beginning of that person's speech, and another one at the ending. If the speech is interrupted by the author's words, the inverted commas can simply be placed again once the speech is resumed.</u>

Generalizations, Conclusions, and Inferences (Part 1) Determine if each statement is a reasonable generalization that can be mad
mezya [45]

Inference is a logical conclusion based on the information provided, while generalization takes that conclusion and applies it to other similar situations. Based on those definitions, we can determine if each of the statements is a rasonable generalization or not.

"The sibling rivalry is due to the arrival of a newborn baby in the house" is neither an inference nor a generalization. There is no indication in the text of a new baby.

"The speaker is from a large family" cannot be inferred either, as the narrator only mentions one sibling.

"The speaker loves the brother" is a fair inference based on the text.  The narrator mentions that her brother means the world to her, so this statement is a logical conclusion.

"The brother gets into trouble often"  is not a reasonable inference nor generalizatino. The only information provided is that he insists on reading his sister's diary.

"The speaker believes others feel the same way as the speaker about their diaries" <em>is the only </em><em>reasonable generalization</em>. The narrator assumes that by telling her brother her diary is boring, he won't want to read it. That he is only interested in knowing her secrets. Therefore, she thinks others view diaries the same way she does.

Samuel Johnson was first to point out the similarities in style and content of some poets of the Jacobean and Carolinian periods
Vaselesa [24]
Metaphysical poetry in the seventeenth century broke away from conventions of lyrical poetry. The difference is apparent in the choice of cacophonousimagery...

Johnson put five poets in this category: John Donne, Andrew Marvel, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, and Henry Vaughan. However, they never worked as an organized literary movement. They didn't even read each other. It is only today that we can consider them akin.

As for cacophonous imagery, it was one of their foremost characteristics. The word choices and similes would often be shocking and unusual, not just for their own time but even later. For example, comparing two lovers' souls with two compasses in Donne's A Valediction Forbidding Mourning.

Match each situation from Romeo and Juliet to the type of irony Shakespeare is using.
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

"A scratch, a scratch," Mercutio says  of his wound before dying. - <u>Verbal irony</u>

Capulet thinks Juliet cries for Tybalt;  we know she cries for Romeo .- <u>Dramatic irony.</u>

Romeo goes to a ball to see Rosaline  but falls in love with Juliet.- <u>Situational irony.</u>

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Ju liet</em>, the story of how the two forbidden lovers were led to their deaths as a result of their 'illegal' love. Though unaware of their families when they first fell in love, their undying love and devotion to one another made them chose death over their separation.

In the story, the various forms of irony are as follows-

Mercutio's description of his wound that proved fatal is an example of <em><u>verbal irony</u></em>. This happens <em>when what a person says is contrary to what is meant. </em>

Capulet thinks Ju liet is crying for Tybalt when we as readers know it is not so and that she's crying for Romeo is an example of <em><u>dramatic irony</u></em>. This irony is when the <em>readers know more about the given scene which the characters are unaware of. </em>

Romeo attending the party at the Capulet's place in the hope to see his love Rosalind but ended up falling in love with Ju liet is an example of <u><em>situational irony</em></u>. This occurs when the <em>outcome of any act of the characters turn out to be contrary to the expected outcome of the storyline.</em>
