Pap is a drunk and is careless.

Why is he a drunk, because he gets "drunk as a fiddler".

Why is he careless, because that does not sound very safe to "clumb out on to the porch-roof and slid down a stanchion". Also he sounds kind of dumb to sell a coat for forty-rod whisky to get drunk. "traded his new coat for a jug of forty-rod".

Which of these comments best illustrates the technique of setting an objective during a discussion
Crank

Answer:

D. What if we come back to that after we discuss the author's perspective?

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. Do you think the theme is primarily about finding one's personal identity?

B. What evidence from the book makes you think that?

C. Are you saying that the author is more credible because she's a scientist?

D. What if we come back to that after we discuss the author's perspective?

Out of these options, the best way to establish an objective during a discussion is option D. In option D, the speaker is clearly stating what he wants the purpose of the discussion to be. The speaker tells us that he would like to discuss the author's perspective. By clearly stating the objective in this way, the speaker can ensure that the conversation does not stray too far from the main issue that needs to be discussed.

A phone call startles me out of a deep sleep. I sit up straight in bed, my heart pounding. "Hello?" "Hello, Kevin." I know his v
zaharov [31]

Answer and explanation:

The interior story, as the name suggests, is the story within another story. In this passage, the frame story is the speaker, Kevin, receiving a phone call from Matt, a friend he hasn't seen in almost ten years. The frame story is the one that involves the interior story. The interior story begins with the line '"Kevin, come inside!" my mother called.' This line separates the current moment from the moment the speaker is remembering - he and Matt playing outside; Kevin's mother calling him in. There is another story being told now, one about the past. But it is told as if it were happening at this moment. We have, from this moment on, an interior story.

Jackie is writing a speech that claims that students should sell fruit instead of candy for the school fundraiser. In her speech
nikdorinn [45]

She could argue that you don't need to sell the same thing every year and therefore, we could all try something different this year, not just candy.

She also could argue that candies are not healthy and it's time to distance ourselves from them for now.

The best argument that she could pull off would be, if that was really the case, if fruits were easier and more profitable to sell. By far, if that was the argument, they would all sell fruit easily.
