I believe Mark Twain is satirizing 'the long list of names required to address certain nobles' in this excerpt. Because, there is no mention of balls and dinner parties, or the importance of the Americans/British, or their eccentric attitudes, therefore, the first option is the correct one.
Answer:
D. Prophecy
Explanation:
Shakespeare uses supernatural elements such as witches, dagger and Banquo's ghost in his drama "Macbeth". Banquo's ghost appears in act 3, scene 4, This act foreshadows the prediction of witches and further actions in the drama.
The emphasized supernatural element in Macbeth is a prophecy. It tells that Macbeth will be the king. The prophecy is important because it has a great impact on Macbeth. It is a true prophecy and Macbeth became a king.
The prophecy contains three predictions. One is that he will become Thane of Cawdor. The second is that he will be the king. The third refers to Banquo and that he will not be a king.
The three lines that read “The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, Went envying her and me— Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.” contain <u>alliteration</u>. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sounds, usually initial consonants of words or of stressed syllables, in a sequence of neighbouring words. Within the three lines in the excerpt mentioned before, one can identify a sound repeated in a sequence of neighbouring words: “half”, “happy”, and “Heaven”.
In the article "How the Media Twists the News," Sheila Gribben Liaugminas explains that "intelligent news consumers" are those who pay attention to the ways in which media presents the news. She argues that being this intelligent consumer means that you realize that not everything you hear is valid, well-researched or unbiased. Moreover, an "intelligent citizen" employs this well-researched information to act in society. I believe that through the use of these two terms, the author makes a strong and valid call to action. She is effective when it comes to explaining that this is a vital task for all citizens. Moreover, she is explicit in how not doing so can affect our society and increase ignorance among the public.
