Answer:

ОА. Some people think that the idea for the circus came from ancient times.

Explanation:

Based on the given excerpt from the article The American Circus in All Its Glory, it is safe to say that the writers, Joseph Bottum and Justin L. Blessinger retrace the history of how circuses came to be especially in the American context. This article delves deep into the how and why of circuses and how it has developed over the years and formed itself into the American culture.

The phrase "popular myth typically traces the modern circus back to the ancient Romans" implies that the popular belief of people about the circus was that it originated from ancient times, more specifically the Romans. But as we will read in the latter part of the article, this is not so. In fact, circuses and the very image of what we now picture as a circus is only a recent thing.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

2. Review the author’s use of the word “American” throughout Chunk 2. How is the narrator using the word to convey her feelings

Damm [24]

Answer:

Whenever the author uses the word American with quotation marks, it is to ridicule the Americanized people who started believing they are truly American and decided to leave behind their heritage and history. The author, Anzia Yezierska, talks about how she finally moved to America in order to pursue her dreams, happiness, and financial stability, and started living with and working for a family from the same Polish village she comes from. The family completely forgot about where they come from and pretended they were truly American, or rather "American" as Yezierska would put it.

Through this usage, we can see how quickly the author's thoughts and feelings about the "land of freedom" changed. She moved there in order to earn her own money and finally be happy. However, what she encountered was loneliness, misunderstanding, shame, hatred, inadequacy, etc. which she wasn't hoping for. Therefore, her feelings about America shifted from childish exhilaration towards sad acceptance and ultimately hatred.

The principal will say, ’rules have to be followed at any cost (right in indirect form)

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The same structure, in indirect or reported form, would be:

The principal will say that rules have to be followed at any cost.

Explanation:

When reporting what someone said, we must change the verb tenses according to when the line was said. If there are any pronouns in the sentence, those may also need to be changed to match the speaker - for instance, if a man said something about himself, we should change "I" for "he". We also change time expressions, such as substituting "today" for "that day".

Not much changes in the sentence we are transforming here since the line inside the quotation marks does not present time expressions or pronouns. Another reason for that is the verb tense. Because it is "will say", which is a future, we do not have to change the verb tense inside the quotation marks.

Just to make it clearer, imagine that the principal already said that: The principal said, "Rules have to be followed at any cost." Now the tense is in the past, "said". In this case, we should also change the tense inside the quotation marks. It would be: The principal said that rules had to be followed at any cost.

Stating "we need to be concerned about tuition increases" rather than "students needs to be concerned about tuition increases" d

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Ethos

Explanation:

The speaker includes himself and members of the public for those primarily responsible for being concerned with the price of tuition charged to students. This represents the use of ethos, as a rhetorical resource that allows the speaker to present thoughts, positions and attitudes that place him on the same level as the audience, because they equate his character and identification with that of a collectivity.
