First of all, you need to understand what antecedents and pronouns are, and what the relationship between the two is. A pronoun is a word used to replace the noun in front of it. An antecedent is that particular noun in front of the pronoun, to which the pronoun refers. Thus, here are my answers:

<span>10. William asked for his coffee to be brought to the conference room. 
The pronoun here is the word HIS, and given that it refers to William (it is William's coffee after all), it means that the antecedent here is WILLIAM

</span><span>11. The music was so loud that it hurt our ears. 
The pronoun here is the word OUR, however, there is no antecedent in this sentence; it is implied that the antecedent is WE (however it is not stated directly in the sentence itself)

</span><span>12. Thomas and Christine forgot to bring their umbrellas to work. 
The pronoun here is the word THEIR, and given that it refers to Thomas and Christine (those are their umbrellas after all), it means that the antecedents here are THOMAS AND CHRISTINE

</span><span>13. Since Grandma Helen was ten years old, she had been writing letters. 
The pronoun here is the word SHE, and given that this particular pronoun was used to replace the noun Grandma Helen, it means that the antecedent is GRANDMA HELEN

</span><span>14. The rain pounded on the roof and it leaked through the cracks. 
Here, the pronoun is the word IT, and given that it refers to the rain (it was used to replace the word rain in the latter part of the sentence), it means that the antecedent is RAIN

</span><span>15. His messenger bag was so full that Randy could not fit another file in it. 
Although there are two pronouns here (his and it), we cannot choose his as the correct answer as it does not have an antecedent (remember that antecedents are in front of the pronoun, and here Randy is located after it). This means that the pronoun we will use is IT, and its antecedent is HIS MESSENGER BAG

</span>16. Mr. Cooper told his students that they were responsible for their grades.There are couple of answers here, given that there are a couple of pronouns to choose from. The first pronoun and its antecedent are HIS (pronoun) and MR. COOPER (its antecedent). Then we have the pronouns THEY and THEIR along with their antecedent HIS STUDENTS.

It's been a while since i read this, but one example of dramatic irony in this play would be that the audience knows that the old woman is the one that the man is looking for, but he doesn't realize it because he is expecting a young, beautiful girl.

Match each nonfiction excerpt to the rhetorical device it uses.
motikmotik
The first excerpt is satire because satire is the use of humor, irony, or exaggeration. 

The second excerpt is repetition. The phrase, "Now is the time..." is being repeated.

The third excerpt is rhetorical questions. Throughout the excerpt, there are questions being asked which the readers aren't supposed to be answered. Instead, the questions are there to make a point.

Read the claim from Dan DeLuca's editorial "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics Are Poetry."
bija089 [108]

Answer: "Salman Rushdie, a Nobel candidate himself, called Dylan ‘the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition.’"

Explanation:

This excerpt is the one who is supporting the claim that rock lyrics are poetry because it is connecting music with lyrics and the writer's abilities to express himself through his music.

Bob Dylan has won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016 although he is a well-known musician, not a writer. His lyrics are considered poetry and in this excerpt, he is connected with bardic tradition which is referring to eighteenth-century writers that were located in Ireland and Scotland. They were also reciters of poetry while playing instruments such as lyre and harp.
