Answer:

B.

Explanation:

President Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863 during American Civil war. The speech was delivered at the dedication ceremony of National Cemetery of Gettysburg. Many soldiers were killed during this war from both the sides in the Battle of Gettysburg.

So, in the honor of these martyred soldiers, President Lincoln delivered this speech.

The speech contained less than 275 words, and Lincoln took only few minutes to deliver this speech. But even in this few minutes, he left a remarkable impact to his audience. The speech spoke about the principles of human equality mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

Bradbury is trying to show how this society is constantly bombarded with media. In this case, it's advertisements pounding them into a passive state. No one on the train is talking or interacting. They are just sitting listening to the advertisement like they are being brainwashed into buying denham's dentifrice. In contrast to this Montag is trying to read a passage from the Bible about letting go of material things (including Denham's dentifrice). This juxtaposition between the natural world and materialism further shows how society is so wrapped up in media that they are unaware of the world around them.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Betru asked Tedla what he was doing there because he hadn't seen him since June.

Tedla replied that he just came back from his holiday in Nekemte

Betru asked if he enjoyed it and Tedla replied that he loves Ireland and the people in Nekemte were so friendly.

Betra then asked if he went to Shambu and Tedla replied that it was his first trip. He said he could show Betra some pictures tomorrow if he was free.

Betru replied that he would arrange some things tomorrow but he was free tonight.

Tedla suggested he comes to his place and asked what time they should meet.

Betru said he would be there by eight and asked if it was alright?

Explanation:

Direct speech means reporting a speech by repeating the words of the speaker verbatim.

Indirect speech is expressing the words of a speaker without explicitly quoting or repeating the words.

Some simple steps in changing direct speech to indirect speech are:

  • Remove all inverted commas or quotation marks.
  • Finish the sentence with a period.
  • Change the verbs in the inverted commas to the corresponding tense.

Identify examples of the following rhetorical strategies in paragraph 13, and explain their effect___________.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The answers are explained below. Paragraph 13 isn't available.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question asked to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer, for example <em>Is the pope Catholic? </em>or <em>Can fish swim?</em>

Sentence variety refers to varying the length and structure of sentences in a composition to avoid monotony. Pacing is a stylistic device that shows how fast a story unfolds. Both can help the writer add emphasis to a specific part of the composition.

An analogy is a type of comparison between two things, usually to explain something, i.e. "as light as a feather."

An allusion is an expression to call something to mind, but it is not mentioned explicitly, for example, <em>Don't be a Romeo</em>, in reference to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet."

An imperative sentence gives instructions or advice and expresses a suggestion, command, order, or direction. For example <em>Don't do that!</em>
