Answer: A.) stress a significant connection

Explanation: The author discusses her mother’s election in order to stress the commonality between her mother’s priorities and those of the Wyoming voters who elected her, an important piece of evidence for her argument. In this sentence, the author strategically inserts a dash between the phrases “to Wyoming people” and “and to her.” By creating a significant pause between the two phrases, the dash effectively emphasizes the phrase following the dash (“and to her”), allowing the author to underscore the convergence between her mother’s values and those of her supporters.

Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt? It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

tatiyna

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Dispatches.

By autumn, what had begun as an adventurous expedition had turned into an exhausting, indecisive war of attrition in which we fought for no cause other than our own survival.

Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt?

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

b. it is unusual that soldiers should ever be forced to fight merely to survive.

c. it is surprising that the expedition turned out to be so exhausting and difficult.

d. it is unfortunate that the soldiers did not have the easy time they had anticipated.

Answer:

The statement which best explains the paradox in the excerpt is:

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

Explanation:

A paradox can be defined as a statement that at first may seem to contradict itself or simply to be absurd. We all know how horrific war is. Battles involve suffering, pain, trauma, killing/dying, or becoming forever disabled. For that reason, it seems absurd that someone would describe war as "an adventurous expedition." An adventure is often an activity seen as both exciting and dangerous. However, it is not fatal. We do not expect to go on an adventure and die.
