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.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The detail that best supports the central idea of the article that Trudel wanted to see Rickie Fowler play golf more than anything is:

"Well, Trudel has dreams--he wants to...play golf for a living. But first, he wants to play golf with his hero, Rickie Fowler."

Explanation:

In the Newsela article "Rickie Fowler, Make-A-Wish and the walk of a lifetime at Detroit Golf Club," written by Shawn Windsor on June 30, 2019, the story of Anthony Trudel's love for golf was profusely narrated.  And Shawn described the efforts made by Rickie Fowler to make a difference in the life of Anthony Trudel, a teenager who has brain cancer and loves Rickie Fowler and his golfing talents, especially his respect for others in the field of play.  The writer also indicated that Anthony Trudel received total parental support in his aspirations for the game of golf.  I have answered this question elsewhere.

What examples of irony does saki use to create satire?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The examples of irony that saki uses to create satire are:

* Bertha is sad that she will not be tempted.

* Pigs are more important than flowers.

Explanation:

First of all, it is important to state the meaning of irony and satire, irony is to express something meaning to say another thing, or when the events happen contrary to what they are expected to be, while satire is the use of comedy to make fun of the flaws of others, this excerpt uses irony by showing that Bertha was expecting to be tempted to take some beautiful flowers while ironically there were no flowers at all, and the garden does not have flowers for the second irony which is selecting pigs over flowers in a garden, thing that not many people would do.
