Answer:

He commented that her house was no palace

Explanation:

A litote is an understatement that expresses the affirmative by saying the negative of the contrary. The other statements are all just statements, they do not give any indication of a deeper level of meaning. Another example of a litote is: That wasn't the messiest house I've ever seen. In this statement, the house is being described as messy by saying that it is not.

Read the excerpt from Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

<span>After reading the options, I would select the three following:
- "Shingled one- and two-room houses clamped themselves to the rocks like oysters."
</span><span>- "The chopping block one man was using to split his cordwood."
</span><span>- "In front of almost all of them was a dory or two, some overturned"

Modern homes are not usually shingled, and the shingled style for houses was popular long ago. Also, men usually don't need to use chopping blocks to split the cord wood because stores have this readily available. Finally, a dory is a type of boat and it's rather old-fashioned in my perspective.

Hope this helps! :)</span>

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Option A and D

Explanation:

This excerpt is gotten from activist Cesar Chavez’s 1984 address to the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco.

Cesar Chavez was a Mexican American descent labor leader and civil rights activist popular for his efforts to gain better working conditions for the thousands of workers who labored on farms for low wages and under severe conditions by leading labor campaigns. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr, he employed nonviolent means to bring attention to the plight and made people aware of the struggles of farm workers caused across the Nation and especially in southwestern USA.

From the excerpt delivered and address to the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, Cesar Chavez has a singular objective to change farming practices and the injustice so workers are respected and his dream for change came from his own experiences of racism and mistreatment which made him to understand the pledge of the workers as a result of their working condition caused by the growers to correct the injustice he saw his people suffer.

The most appropriate to include in a summary are :

My singular objective has been to change farming practices so workers are respected.

This dream for change came from my own experiences of racism and mistreatment.
