Incomplete question. I inferred you are referring to "Bradford's History of 'Plimoth Plantation'", by William Bradford.

Explanation:

Lines 110-116 reads;

"In ye name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwriten, the loyall subjects of our dread soveraigne Lord, King James, by ye grace of God, of Great Britaine, Franc, & Ireland king, defender of ye faith, &c., haveing undertaken, for ye glorie of God, and advancemente of ye Christian faith, and honour of our king & countrie, a voyage to plant ye first colonie in ye Northerne parts of Virginia, doe by these presents solemnly & mutualy in ye presence of God, and one of another, covenant & combine our selves togeather into a civill body politick, for our better ordering & preservation & furtherance of ye ends aforesaid; and by vertue hearof to enacte, constitute, and frame such just & equall lawes, ordinances, acts, constitutions, & offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meete & convenient for ye generall good of ye Colonie, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witnes wherof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cap-Codd ye 11. of November, in ye year of ye raigne of our soveraigne lord, King James, of England, France, & Ireland ye eighteenth, and of Scotland ye fiftie fourth. Ano: Dom. 1620..."

This lengthy sentence might be rewritten in a more modern way by replacing old English expressions like 'ye' with 'the' and adjusting the spellings of some words.

For example, The first five lines of lines 110 could be written;

"In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, Franc, & Ireland king, defender of the faith, &c., having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our king & country, a voyage to plant the first colonies in the Northern parts of Virginia..."

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Chapters 1-3): The combination of place, historical time, and social situation that provides

ANEK [815]

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn : The combination of place, historical time, and social situation that provides the general background from the characters and plot of a literary work is the story’s setting. Setting frequently plays a crucial role in determining the atmosphere of a work. Explain the significance of the woods to Huck’s life is given below

Explanation:

1.Chapter 1 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn opens after Huck has moved back in with the Widow Douglas. Huck tells us how, when he returned to the Widow's house, she cried and hugged him but immediately began to try to civilize him again. She also teaches him about religion. ... Huck is bored and fidgety.

2.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn takes place before the Civil War in the American South. As an “adventure,” Huck's story is a defined by movement. ... After meeting up on Jackson's Island (which really exists!), Huck and Jim set off along the Mississippi River and pass through Illinois, Kentucky, and Arkansas.

3.The primary theme of the novel is the conflict between civilization and "natural life." Huck represents natural life through his freedom of spirit, uncivilized ways, and desire to escape from civilization. He was raised without any rules or discipline and has a strong resistance to anything that might "sivilize" him.

4.In American high schools and colleges, Huck Finn is taught as an important, if controversial, book about race. For some, it is an inspiring story about how blacks and whites work together to find freedom. For others, its use of racial slurs and stereotypes make it unteachable, if not unreadable.

5.The main conflict of Huck Finn is his struggle with his conscience. He has been raised with a certain set of values, and he struggles with those values when he goes against them. For example, when he helps Jim escape to freedom, he has been raised to believe that it's wrong to help a slave escape.

6.The Message in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The main characters in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn provide an insight on the apparent foolishness of society. Each character has a distinct personality that draws out some flaw in society, specifically hypocrisy and gullibility.

7.This reasoning between right and wrong is an example of morality, a theme we see again and again in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The book, sometimes referred to simply as Huck Finn, is the tale of a young teenaged boy, Huck, and his companion, a black slave named Jim, on their quest for freedom.

Which statement best describes how dramatic irony is used in this passage? The reader knows that the human neighbors plan to des

LenKa [72]

The example that best describes it is the 1st one; since "dramatic irony" occurs when the audience (readers) understands what's going to happen, and knows about certain characters' actions, or event, and the characters are unaware of it; hence the characters actions go on a different way.

The tactic is used to make the audience more involved; thus it often creates this feeling of being powerless in the readers' mind, to do anything about it.

So the best statement is: "The reader knows that the human neighbors plan to destroy Animal Farm"
