Answer:
The Birling family and Gerald Croft are celebrating Sheila’s engagement to Gerald
• Although there are a few signs that not everything is perfect (Mr Birling is too anxious to impress Gerald, Eric
seems nervous and Sheila mentions that Gerald did not come near her the previous summer) there is a
happy, light-hearted atmosphere.
• Mr Birling makes arrogant speeches, telling the other characters his views on science, the Titanic and the
relationship between bosses and workers, saying that a man ‘has to mind his own business and look after
himself’
Answer:
The correct answers are "magical realism" and "authorial reticence".
Explanation:
Magical realism is a style of fiction writing that takes aspects of the everyday world and adds magical elements as if they were ordinary. The concept of authorial reticence is related to magical realism, as it refers to the lack of an opinion about the accuracy and credibility of events such as the magical elements in a story. Therefore, the narrator accepting absurds as ordinary in "There’s a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is known as magical realism or authorial reticence.
The correct answer is B, 'a recent government report comparing the results of alternative and contemporary medicine for a specified disease'. Answer choice A is incorrect because posts on social networking sites are not reliable. Answer choice C is incorrect because this is clearly an advertisement, and not an actual study. Answer choice D is incorrect because the study is outdated, and better medicines may have been created since it was posted.
