Jakovlevitch is not so much astounded by the fact that he found a nose in a baked roll as he is frightened by the fact that it is a familiar nose, and an official one - belonging to the Collegiate Assessor Kovalev. So, this is a nose with a rank - not high enough to please its owner, but higher than Jakovlevitch's modest social position. Jakovlevitch is afraid: he must have cut off the nose while he was drunk!

Gogol uses the nose to satirize obsessions of Russian society with rank and social status. Kovalev himself is apparently unsatisfied with his status as a civil servant (and that is all he cares about). So, when he sees his nose in a uniform which implies a higher status, he doesn't know what to do, how to behave. He acts as a sycophant. "'How, even so, am I to approach it?' Kovalev reflected. 'Everything about it, uniform, hat, and all, seems to show that it is a State Councilor now. Only the devil knows what is to be done!' He started to cough in the Nose's vicinity, but the Nose did not change its position for a single moment."

Answer:

constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage.

Explanation:

In her “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage”, Carrie Chapman Catt uses the rhetorical device of kairos by constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage. This can be seen in the beginning of her speech when she mentions "Three distinct causes made it inevitable."

As kairos as a literary device means using balance and decorum in the speech/writing, Carrie makes sure that her speech contain step by step explanation for every objective. She then finally comes to the end of her speech by projecting the listeners and stakeholders of their part in the bringing a change.

Carrie uses the opportunity of kairos to direct her speech to the listeners and statesmen by asking them whether to support women's suffrage or not. This can be seen in the last lines of her speech "Woman suffrage is coming -- you know it. Will you, Honorable Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, help or hinder it?"
