<span>The last option: If it hadn't been for Rosa's warning, we would have been caught in the sudden, torrential rainstorm during Saturday's picnic.

You need an apostrophe in hadn't because it combines had not into a contraction. Rosa's and Saturday's both need an apostrophe to show ownership. Rosa owns the warning, and Saturday owns the picnic. The comma after warning is needed because it separates the dependent clause with the independent clause. The comma between sudden and torrential separates the list of adjectives. Without the comma sudden would be describing torrential rather than rainstorm.

What does the writer imply in this line from the excerpt?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The writer is implying that politicians are shameless people who would do anything for their own gain.

Explanation:

Charles Farrar Browne was an American humorist writer and a comedian who is more better known by his pen name Artemus Ward. His book "Interview With Lincoln" is a satirical or humorous representation of the real world as he sees it.

The passage from the question is from the text where he seems to suggest that the "owner" of the place was a generous place. But with politicians, there can be no honor or full trust. The use of the word "hog-pen" suggests that he is ready to accommodate anyone who's willing to be on his side. After his whole place had been filled, he still wants people to be with him even though there seems to be no space left. Thus, these lines seems to imply that the politicians will do anything if it's going to give them some profit out of the situation. It shows their shamelessness.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The entire essay gives truthful facts about the author.

The essay is an example of Sorrentino's humour.

Explanation:

Sorrention says in his essay: "I'm writing this in the first person to emphasize the truth of these statements" and "..  Considering that I have been writing for thirty-two years, my bibliography is fairly short. "   These make  it evident that he talks by himself and he has to do so in the first person to sound reliable. He is very young and it seems that no one will talk about his works as a writer for the time being. Besides, there is not much to say about himself but just to mention all the books he has written so far. He sounds ironic but reliable.
