"Yes, all those points are true about Shakespeare, but most of them are true of other authors as well" (B) is the comment that best illustrates the technique of drawing comparisons during a discussion.
In this discussion, people were apparently talking about Shakespeare and his work or his life. The speaker who delivered this comment brought up other authors into the conversation, inviting the other speakers to consider a comparison between Shakespeare and these authors. By doing so, the speaker is also giving his opinion on the comparison: he thinks Shakespeare and the other authors are alike in some aspects.
The example that uses proper, according to MLA standards, in-text citation is the following:
D. Nutritionist Soon-yu Kim describes whole foods as the "cornerstone of a healthy diet" (23)
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation; it requires the author's last name and the page number. If the name appears on the sentence itself, then only the page number should be in parentheses at the end of the sentence (this is the reason why A, which provides redundant information as the last name was already present on the sentence, and C, which places the page number close to the author's name, are incorrect).
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."
"Why weren't there any flowers?"
"Because the pigs had eaten them all," said the bachelor promptly. "The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers."
There was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the Prince's decision; so many people would have decided the other way.
How does the characterization of the children create satire?
Answer:
The characterization of the children create satire because:
B. They are pleased to learn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers.
Explanation:
A satire exposes the difference between our beliefs and reality. In the short story "The Story-Teller", by Saki, the satire comes from the situational irony presented in the bachelor's story. The bachelor is traveling in a train wagon with three children and their aunt. The aunt tells them a story with the purpose of teaching them a moral lesson. To her disappointment, the children find the story boring.
The bachelor begins to tell a story himself. Unlike the predictable story told by the aunt, his story is filled with surprises and ironic incidents. Instead of teaching kids that they should be good, he teaches them that being too good may be an awful thing. <u>The children's characterization in the excerpt creates satire because they are pleased to learn the prince in the story chose to have pigs instead of flowers. Their reaction contradicts what society would expect of them. It goes against what the aunt - a representative of society - thinks is appropriate. They are not pleased by what is right or good - they are pleased by what is entertaining.</u>
