Answer:

Sarcasm indeed can be confusing.

Explanation:

Sarcasm indeed can be confusing to some extent. Sarcasm can be understood as "indirect criticism", what you say manifest exactly the oposite of what you really mean with the comment.

Sarcasm cannot be prevented, it is a very "human" activity due to the high symbolism, and complexities of human interaction, sarcasm is expected to exist in one way or another.

Yes, the continuing comments in the U.S about fake news may have something to do with the country's growingly "autistic" impatience with sarcasm and criticism.

Study the editorial cartoon by Signe Wilkinson. A man sits, sweating on a city sidewalk. A passerby also looks hot and sweaty, a
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The editorial cartoon image is lacking. Here is the image the question's referring to.

The details that best support the purpose of this editorial cartoon are:

  • the "will work for air conditioning" sign
  • the rat sweating on the sidewalk
  • the comfortable man in the air-conditioned car

Explanation:

There are a number of details to consider in the editorial cartoon to understand its message. It includes the man holding the sign, the rat, and the man riding in an air-conditioned car.

But, if you look closely, Signe Wilkinson signed this on 7-6-2010 for the Philadelphia Daily News. It is better to know this date and place. But what is its importance? <em><u>During this time, the Philadelphia set a new record regarding heatwave. The temperature reached 103 degrees breaking the old record of 98 degrees in 1994. </u></em>

Climate change and global warming clearly affect people in the middle class or the working class who cannot afford to buy an air-conditioned car. And they are willing to work on breathing cold air. It also displays that not only humans are affected by a heatwave, but also animals, thus, the sweating rat.

<em><u>During this time, in 2010, people have died because of the heatwave. And the air conditioning business was booming because of in-demand repairs. </u></em>

Which textual evidence develops the viewpoint that a wedding is an important ceremony in a young woman’s life?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The correct answer would be D.) The speaker's insistence that the maidens "Hasten away" and abandon their "pitchers" to gather the leaves of the henna-tree creates urgency and emphasizes the significance of the wedding.

Explanation: D is the correct answer as "Hasten away" proves of urgency  where as how they "abandon their pitchers" makes it seem that the wedding is more important then whatever they are doing.
