Answer:

Trial by jury is when an accused person's case is decided by a group of jurors whereas trial by accusation is based on an accusation by an individual without any jurors.

Trial by accusation is more of a witch-hunt.

Explanation:

Trial by jury is the process of dealing a person's case in court through the medium of a consultation between a group of jurors. These jurors are appointed by the government and have been selected randomly, with the jurors sometimes not acquainted with each other. This form of case dealing makes it more democratic, giving a fair chance for the person accused to give her side of the story and being discussed and decided by the multiple people.

Whereas, trial by accusation is when a person accuses someone based on suspicions. This form of case dealing only involves the accused and the accuser, with no form of democratic third party to be involved. This type of court cases is contradictory of the theme of "innocent until proven guilty". This means is more of a witch-hunt as the accused life depends on the accuser, unlike being dealt with by a group of government appointed third party.

Match each example to the correct figure of speech.

Lemur [1.5K]

While an oxymoron is a figure of speech where two opposing words in meanings are used together intentionally for creating a special effect, an euphemism is concerned with the use of a word or phrase that replaces another with a less offensive or vulgar meaning.

Examples of oxymorons are:

2. Ted thought the game was bittersweet because his team won, but he was injured. (The game was pleasant because of the result, but it included a bit of suffering since Ted ended up injured)
4. After his ordeal, Richard looked like a member of the living dead. (Richard seemed to be alive but with a dead soul)

Examples of euphenisms are:

1.Nick was stretching the truth when he said that he was working on his second novel. (Nick was saying something that wasn't exactly true...)
3.The horse was put to sleep after injuring its leg at the derby. (The horse was sacrified...)

Swollen - There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down.

"Bulbous" mean something fat, round, or bulging, similar to "Swollen" which is the state of being larger or rounder in size of what something normally is.

Disappointing - "Better in body perhaps — " I began, and stopped short, for he sat up straight and looked at me with such a stern, reproachful look that I could not say another word.

Reproachful is an adjective and it's used when something/someone expresses disapproval or disappointment.

Markedly noticeable - But in the places where it isn't faded and where the sun is just so—I can see a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure that seems to skulk; lie in wait about behind that silly and conspicuous front design.

Something conspicuous is something obvious to the eye or mind (it easily catches people's attention), something markedly noticeable.

Bad quality - Looked at in one way each breadth stands alone, the bloated curves and flourishes—a kind of "debased Romanesque" with delirium tremens—go waddling up and down in isolated columns of fatuity.

Debased means degraded, reduced in quality or value.

Explanation:

have – there are two people, so it is plural
are – it refers to a cousin and the narrator, so plural
are – Meeta is singular, but sisters are plural, therefore answer must be used for plural noun
was – even though the jury is consisting of the more than one person, they are treated as the singular group
by the rules, both are or is can be used, however, are sounds more natural with the plural noun "books"
was – it refers to the name of the book which is The Midnight's Children not the nook itself, so it is singular
was – it refers to the quality which is singular, not the sarees
is – it refers to the size, a singular, not the curtains
is – it refers to the sum, which is a singular noun
was – each of the candidates is singular
have – Mohit and the friends are plural number of people
is – it refers to the distance, which is a singular noun
was – a women is a singular
This one is not the full question, the full one should be "Neither the teacher nor his students (is/are) in the class" The answer is are because it refers to the plural number of people with teacher and the students
was – it refers to only one person, as it says "one of the boys", therefore it is singular

ivanzaharov [21]

To approach an essay question like this one, you need to identify the issue (cell phone use in the classroom) and then decide which side you agree with. The next step is to consider the reasons why you agree with that side. Those reasons become the body paragraphs of your paper. For each paragraph, write the reason as a topic sentence. Then explain that point, including specific examples that support your position, before concluding that point and moving on to the next reason in a new paragraph. Make sure you include a proper introductory paragraph that introduces your topic and states your position and a concluding paragraph that summarizes your argument.
