<em>The man with the umbrella</em> in Sorrentino's "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" <em>conveys to the central themes of the monotony of everyday life and the absurdity of the modern world.</em>

"There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is a short story written by Fernando Sorrentino that tells the story of a the relationship between the narrator and the man with the umbrella that hits the narrator for 5 consecutive years. The character of the man with the umbrella represents the monotony of everyday life and the absurdity of the modern world as he does the same action, which is in some way a useless action, every day no matter what, for 5 years. He, representing monotony and how the modern world works, shows no emotion and seems to be unaffected by anything that happens around him.

Help me find the right aswer of gaps 2 and 5:
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

2. unattractive

5. However

Explanation:

In sentence number 2, the correct answer would be <em>unattractive</em>, as we can notice the shop windows discourage shoppers because of their emptiness. <em>Bustling </em>means full of activity,  <em>impressive</em> means special, important or really large,  so those options cannot be considered as a correct answer. Option A could be the correct answer, but <em>unattractive </em>fits better at the context then <em>frequent</em>.

In sentence number 5, the correct answer would be <em>however</em>. <em>Because</em> introduces causes and reasons, by introducing a subordinate clause, which needs a main clause to make it complete. Therefore, it cannot be considered a correct answer. <em>Although</em> means in spite of something and it can be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence, but it doesn't have a comma afterward and it cannot be considered as a correct answer.

We use <em>otherwise </em>to introduce a thought or an idea that contains an opposite claim or statement and to express our disagreement. It connects two clauses where the second clause (which contains otherwise) express what would have happened if the action in a first sentence hadn't occurred. Therefore, the correct answer is however. We use however to introduce a statement that expresses contrast with the previous sentence.

AleksAgata [21]

That's right, the correct answer is C.

The Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver (SMCR) model identifies individual components of a communication act, which in turn are affected by diverse factors that combined can result in a more or less efficient communication. The four components are sender, message, channel and receiver.

People from different cultures may understand the same message differently. Things can be accepted in one culture and considered very offensive in another. Therefore is important that communication is performed between a sender and a receiver who have the same cultural background or who have an understading on how to deal with the cultural background of the  other interlocutor, in case it is not the own one.
