The first excerpt is satire because satire is the use of humor, irony, or exaggeration. 

The second excerpt is repetition. The phrase, "Now is the time..." is being repeated.

The third excerpt is rhetorical questions. Throughout the excerpt, there are questions being asked which the readers aren't supposed to be answered. Instead, the questions are there to make a point.

alukav5142 [94]
When you think about Thanksgiving cooking, typically you think of a rush to get everything done and to put all of the food onto the table so that everyone can eat.

Read the paragraph from Lucy’s narrative.
rusak2 [61]

The correct answer is C. She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help.

Explanation:

In literature, the suspense is a common device used by the author to engage the audience in the story and increase the interest of it. Suspense mainly occurs when the audience or reader wonder about the outcome of events, the following event or the wait events are connected and wait anxiously to know it, because of this, the author of a text can create suspense by using a slow pace in the text, provide only limited information, present the outcome first without the background or use dilemmas.

Considering this, in the case presented the author can create suspense if she starts with the last sentence, because this would make the audience wonder about why the narrator is helping Grandma June and why this seems quite important for the narrator, which means the author could build suspense by presenting the outcome and not providing the background information. Thus, if Lucy wants to create more suspense "She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help".

Describe two factors we should consider when evaluating an argument (discussed in Ch. 6 of THiNK: Critical Thinking and Logic Sk
Vadim26 [7]

1. Veracity and construction are important factors in evaluating an argument. Well-constructed arguments are clear, simple and straightforward, allowing a quick understanding and understanding of the spoken subject. Veracity is also essential, because it shows that the argument is true and that it is passing on correct information.

2. These factors are important because they allow the construction of a coherent, respectful, intriguing and cohesive debate. This is because a debate with well-constructed and true arguments, is capable of demonstrating various facets of a topic efficiently and thoroughly.

3. Deductive arguments are those that contain enough information for a conclusion on a given topic to be created, inductive arguments, on the other hand, do not promote the creation of a conclusion, but provide information that provides the basis and the necessary grounds for there to be a deduction and valid reasoning.

4. In order to answer the fourth question, it would be necessary to know the activities and concepts that you have studied, but you can answer that question by highlighting the activity or concept that best matched your personality and beliefs. Then you can explain that the concepts and activities that you did not highlight are concepts that are complicated for your understanding, or that do not match your personal values ​​on some points.
