The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.

Which of these sentences from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" is an example of allusion? A. It is the safe
Ede4ka [16]

The sentence from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" which is an example of allusion is the one we find in letter B. Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations?

One of the characters is mocked by being called Tetzel, who was a German Dominican preacher who sold "indulgences" (paid forgiveness for one's sins) in the 1500's. In the aforementioned sentence, there is an allusion to Martin Luther, who was openly against Tetzel and his "indulgences". An allusion is an indirect reference to something or someone, and Martin Luther is indirectly mentioned in the sense that it's like he is talking to his adversary. Except it's not Martin Luther himself speaking; it's one of the characters who try to impersonate him.

What is wrong with this citation: (Herring, The American Century and beyond: U.S. foreign relations, 1893-2014, 2017).
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Omission of author's first name, published information, incorrect citation of print with the wrong usage of brackets.

Explanation:

Citation is very crucial to the paper writing as it may spoil the effectiveness of the work if the references are cited inappropriately. Here, the first name of the author is missing along with the publishing information. The correct citation of this example would be;

Herring, George C., The American Century and beyond: U.S. foreign relations, 1893-2014. Oxford History of United States Series,Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017.
