Why did Aristotle believe language should be plain, natural, and clear in persuasive speeches?
Minchanka [31]
The language must be appropriate to the audience and should use the terms that are most current and ordinary. Using fancy language is not ordinary, and any kind of unfamiliarity can be seen as suspicious.

Twain’s use of dialect in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contributes to the realism of the story by making the settings and character more convincing  for the readers. By adding accurate social dialects into his story, Twain depicts a truthful vision of the souther society that fits the characters' backgrounds, the time period and the location. This is no exception in the case of Huck and Jim. Jim, in this novel, is a slave who is less educated than the average person; therefore, to make his character more believable to the readers, Jim's way of speaking uses slang, shortened words and improper grammar. This can be seen in phrases like "Whar is you?", "ag'in", "sumf'n", etc.

Answer:

d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.

The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.

An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.
