rrow. I've got Friday and Saturday, and it won't be any trouble. Which way is the business part?\" Minnie began to explain, but her husband took this part of the conversation to himself. "It's that way," he said, pointing east. "That's east." Then he went off into the longest speech he had yet indulged in, concerning the lay of Chicago. "You'd better look in those big manufacturing houses along Franklin Street and just the other side of the river," he concluded. "Lots of girls work there. You could get home easy, too. It isn't very far." Carrie nodded and asked her sister about the neighbourhood.

C) The author reveals the emerging tensions between Minnie and Carrie because of Carrie's freedom and independence.

<em>The correct answer is B) The author attempts to portray Hanson as being dismissive of his wife, not seeing her as an equal partner</em>

  • <em>B is the best analysis of the author’s intention. There is plenty of evidence in the excerpt to say that Hanson is dismissive of his wife. The first evidence is when Hanson interrupts his wife when she was going to explain Carrie how to get to the business part, he starts answering the question as if his wife was not even present at the moment. Another piece of evidence, is when Carrie asks her sister about the neighborhood and Minnie answers in a very insecure tone, showing that the way Hanson interrupted her had affect her disposition. Hanson treats his wife as if she knew nothing about the topic.</em>

How does the use of parallelism enhance the paragraph?
Zielflug [23.3K]

It calls attention to similarities between the seasons.

Answer:  Option 4.

Explanation:

Parallelism examples are found in literary works as well as in ordinary conversations. This method adds balance and rhythm to sentences, giving ideas a smoother flow and thus persuasiveness, because of the repetition it employs.

It is used to help organize ideas, but also to make the ideas memorable. When a sentence is unintentionally cluttered, unbalanced, or lengthy, this is called faulty parallelism and should be avoided.  The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions such as "and".

In the Ducks and the Blanket story Iktomi is hungry but in both stories he isn't successful in eating the food.
