Answer:

The most objective excerpt is B: Steinbeck's initial description of the stranger's wagon makes the character seem almost comical.

Explanation:

The most objective excerpt is B: Steinbeck's initial description of the stranger's wagon makes the character seem almost comical. The other options all have subjective opinions. When writing an objective essay, personal opinions should be avoided. For example, in excerpt A the expression "I didn't take his character seriously" is too personal, and also quite informal. The same happens in excerpt C, where the student uses the expression "I liked the way...". That kind of phrase could be useful when expressing an opinion but not to describe or analyze someone's work. Option D also uses the first person, which is never objective as it is used to express personal points of view. That's why B is the most objective of all options: the observations made are not in first person and don't express a subjective opinion.

In “Hiawatha the Unifier,” why do the five tribes come together at the great council fire?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer and Explanation:

In the legend of Hiawatha the Unifier, the story of how the five great tribes came together to become the Iroquois people is told. The five tribes were originally one group of people taken care of and nourished by Hiawatha before he became mortal. They were separated, taught survival skills, given names and different languages by Hiawatha.

<u>However, at a certain point, wild tribes from the north began to prey on the five tribes. That is why they came together at the great council fire. They were told by Hiawatha to gather so that they could discuss the best way to deal with the threat of the northern tribes. During the meeting, among other things, Hiawatha told them to unite, becoming the Iroquois people, each tribe with its own specialty or skill that should help them as a whole. That way, they would survive the threat and prosper.</u>

arlik [135]

Answer:

d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.

The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.

An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.
