Select the correct text in the passage.

Nonamiya [84]

The two sentences that indicate that Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe is a work of historical fiction are B. Princess Matilda, though a daughter of the King King of Scotland, and afterwards both Queen of England, niece to Edgar Atheling, and mother to the Empress of Germany, the daughter, the wife, and the mother of monarchs, was obliged, during her early residence for education in England, to assume the veil of a nun, as the only means of escaping the licentious pursuit of the Norman nobles, and D. It was a matter of public knowledge, they said, that after the conquest of King William, his Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honour of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license.

The works of Sir Walter Scott represent the foundations of historical fiction. In Ivanhoe (1820), the author depicts medieval England and the conflicts between Jews and Christians. The story is set in 12th-century England, it is set in the past, an important characteristic of the historical novel. Furthermore, these two sentences include notable historical figures, Princess Matilda and King William, another essential element of this type of fiction. In these fragments, there are allusions to real history. As the first sentence establishes, Princess Matilda was the daughter of Henry I and the claimant to the English throne during the Anarchy and, as the second sentence states, there was a strong feud between Normans and Saxons, an struggle for the control of England, after the Norman Conquest and William the Conqueror's claim to the throne in the 11th century. Ivanhoe tells the story of a remaining Anglo-Saxon noble family at a time when most nobles in England were Normans.

Until he became too tired and had to stop, he kept pace with his brother as they were running around the track.

Until his brother became too tired and had to stop, Joe kept pace with him as they were running around the track.

Answer:

Until Joe became too tired and had to stop, he kept pace with his brother as they were running.

Until his brother became too tired and had to stop, Joe kept pace with him as they were running around the track.

Explanation:

A vague pronoun is a type of pronoun that its meaning is obscure and confusing and is not immediately clear because it sometimes has more than one meaning.

From the given sentence, it is impossible to find out who was tired, from Jor and his brother and had to stop, so we can fix this vague pronoun problem below by stating that it was Joe that was too tired and had to stop or, we can say it was his brother that got too tired and had to stop.

How does Gogol use techniques like irony, hyperbole, and absurdity to create humor?

konstantin123 [22]

Gogol is best known for his use of irony, hyperbole, and absurdity to create humor and a sense of existential weariness. In some of his works, like The Nose, Diary of a Madman, and even in his unfinished novel, Dead Souls, he famously takes advantage of a single element, like a nose that has lost its owner, the royal ravings of an office clerk, or the business behind recollecting dead souls, respectively, and extrapolates this element to make it englobe and define his fictional characters, this then puts the characters in very absurd situations that, even though they cause hilarity, leave the reader with a sense of dread and even horror, the irony being that, though existence be dreadful, it is, nonetheless, comical to a point of absurdity.
