Answer:
The correct answer is D. Clear.
Explanation:
If you put a preposition at the end of a sentence, it makes it less formal and it is not entirely grammatically correct. You should avoid placing prepositions at the end of sentences if you are trying to sound more formal or educated.
However, prepositions at the end of a sentence make it less awkward and more clear to understand - take a look at these examples:
- With whom are you going? - preposition at the beginning of the sentence, makes it sound very formal and slightly awkward, but grammatically correct.
- Who are you going with? - preposition at the end of the sentence, makes it sound informal and clear, but grammatically incorrect.
The phrases or sentences in the above excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" which demonstrates the use of irony is:
“The television screens showed, from left to right, the stretch of desert which was the rocket target,”
“Ninety minutes before H-hour the radios announced that the rockets were ready, that the observation ships had backed away to what was thought to be a safe distance,”
Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of postmodernism because of the use of irony on a serious topic.
He expresses his feelings about the war with his personal experience. His reaction to the war, bombings and the ills of scientific advancement brought distress in his life. He accepted the deaths as the result of the war in a very casual manner. Throughout the stories, he uses irony and sarcasm to bring the effects of the war in a different look. Using irony and sarcasm to describe serious topics like war and destruction is one of the characteristics of postmodern literature.
Answer: Soto relates a story from his life to make a point about what it means to live in a multicultural society.
Explanation: In this excerpt of "Like Mexicans" by Gary Soto, he is describing how he felt embarrassed about holding hands with Carolyn in front of her family. He expresses that there are similarities and differences among the two cultures by stating "her people were like Mexicans, only different."
It suggests the narrator is traveled without thinking of the time.
This one makes the most sense because he says "at length, I found myself" some traveled for a while. "As the shades of the evening drew on" supports that he was traveling without hinting of the time because night draws on unexpectedly.
Hey there!
What he means by foul and fair is that first of all, war is always foul. People die, and it can end in victory for one side, but they will undoubtedly suffer losses.
However, there's a specific reason for this war. It's a war based on a disagreement or argument, and war was the way it was settled.
A situation can be both foul and fair if it has equal pros and cons, like suffering losses but settling an argument.
Hope this helps!
