The answer would be D. "I made just one request for the camping trip: I wanted to stay in a cabin instead of a tent."

Generally colons are used after phrases that are complete sentences. "I made just one request for the camping trip" is a complete sentence, and should therefore have a colon after it.

D) I made just one request for the camping trip: I wanted to stay in a cabin instead of a tent.

Colons are used between two independent clauses to show that the second sentence is explaining the first sentence.

sedaris uses both understatement and hyperbole in this essay. Identify two examples of each and explain the effect
Korvikt [17]
The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.

Explain how the form of a Petrarchan sonnet affects the content and tone. Your answer should be at least ond hundred words
iragen [17]

Here is what i found on another website Not my work

I think that it is certainly true that Petrarch’s style and beauty ideal and his use of devices such as metaphor or paradox created a gate way for other writers to come through.The descriptive words of the exact feelings and emotions that he was experiencing for Laura allowed for his audience to feel as if they were going through all of the things that Petrarch went through.
