Answer: A. Because brain disection meant certain death for the specimen

Explanation: In "Exhalation" by Ted Chiang, the reason why no other anatomist had tried a brain dissection before the narrator's attempt is <u><em>because brain dissection meant certain death for the specimen</em></u>. The brain is extremely delicate to be studied, it has been seen that in fatal accidents when the skull is pierced the brain erupts in a cloud of gold. So the narrator decides to be the one to dissect his own brain, because any other scientist would reject even the idea of doing it.

Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.
Serhud [2]
By the words "detestable" and "die", we can tell that the mood of this poem is dark and angry. The author obviously is not proud of what humans have done. Also, the word "encroach" makes the mood sad. The author points out what terrible things humans are and how rude we are (which is quite true, based on what happened on January 20th).

Tems11 [23]
The language convention that the author used to separate the declarative sentence from the disruptive phrase in this excerpt are em dashes.
The disruptive phrase is everything separated from the rest of the sentence by these dashes - "so called because they used to, like, declare things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not." This phrase disrupts the natural flow of the sentence by being randomly embedded in it.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The use of repetition.

Explanation:

Repetition is elucidated as the literary device in which the author involves repetition of certain words or phrases in order to emphasize or highlight a particular significant idea and make it more clear, effective, and noteworthy for the readers.

In the given two excerpts from "The American Dream” speech by Martin Luther King Jr. and 'Governor George Wallace's inaugural address, the 'repetition' has been used as a technique to highlight the key ideas efficiently.<u> </u><u>In the first excerpt, the repetition of the word 'dream' emphasizes King's idea of 'dream view of America</u><u> where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds can live together as brothers</u>.' <em>In the second excerpt, </em><em>the repetition of the word 'political' and 'race' throws light upon Wallace's idea of ' respecting the rights of others to be separate</em><em> and work from within their political framework</em>.'
