Read these sentences from “The Open Window.” "I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly; "he told me he had a horror o

f dogs. He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve." Romance at short notice was her speciality.

A“'...on the banks of the Ganges...'” B “'...cemetery somewhere...'” C“'I expect it was the spaniel...'” D “'...he had a horror of dogs...'”

Answer:

C. “'I expect it was the spaniel...'”

Explanation:

This is the phrase which contributes most to the humour in the story. In this story, the niece is talking about the reason for a person to "lose his nerve." The first words she utters blame a cocker spaniel for this insanity. This is a humorous idea, as the reason seems to be unusual and trivial, and unlikely to have such an effect on a person.

discuss how Ha Jin employs casual, informal language in his story “The Bane of the Internet” to make a deeper statement about th
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Ha Jin employs a<em> casual, informal language</em> in his story by<em> writing as if the reader is a person he knows.</em> This allows the reader to become part of the story he is creating. Since the tone is more "personal," the reader feels <u>the author's feelings and statements in the text</u> and gets involved in it.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "The Bane of the Internet," written by Ha Jin<em> (a Chinese)</em>. It centers on the hardships of immigrating to another country and how tedious it is.

Writing may be done in a "formal way" or an "informal way." (I have already discussed the informal type of writing above). A formal type of writing, on the other hand, is impersonal in nature and more subjective than an informal way of writing. It is often used for <em>"academic or business purposes.</em>"
