Answer:

The best answer is: "B. Hyperbole".

Explanation:

Letter B is the best answer because there is a high exaggeration for describing the environment, such as by the use of long and detailed words for only one place the tenant man is looking about. The man describes the place by reminding past events and memories, which emphasizes his feelings and thoughts about what he is looking for. Letter A is not possible because it is not a understatement, it is the contrary ideia for that. Letter C is also not possible because there are alliteration in the words chosen, however they differ from each other and gets to produce real alliteration only in some parts of the passage. Then, letter D is also not possible because there is no parallelism in the passage.

How does Ibsen use dramatic irony to create the suspense
Sidana [21]

Ibsen uses drama and irony throughout the play to create the suspense in this passage.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The main consistency of " Doll's House" is dramatic irony. The play revolves around deep irony. There are situations where Nora does realize that the nurse was her only mother and the fact that she was going to leave her children. But the gap between the reality and outside look that is the pretending happy life of Nora, helps the play be more ironic.

The mismatch between the accurate and appearance throughout the play shows the ironic revolution. Ibsen uses drama and irony throughout the play to create the suspense in this passage.

What makes us want to continually strive to create something bigger and better?
WARRIOR [948]
I would have to say that we strive to make something bigger and better for one of three things:

To make lots and lots of money from it.

To simply be the best

Or to make it easier for us to do things if we have this.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A: Positive attitude toward Young's passion for learning.

Explanation:

Throughout the passage, Giblin speaks of Young's accomplishments with high praise (never in a negative way, like answers C & D suggest). B is also incorrect because Giblin does not <em>only</em> focus on Young's ability to learn new languages, he speaks of other things as well.

Therefore, option A is correct - Giblin shows a positive attitude toward Young's passion for learning.
