A. Recall a familiar text.

An allusion is a reference to another published work. In this case, the allusion is to the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead of the just saying the name of the text, the author alludes to it by quoting the first line. For readers who know the Pledge of Allegiance this may spark in them a sense of patriotism as they may then recite the entire pledge. The reader uses this allusion to further the point about patriotism as a routine taught in schools.

Read this paragraph from History of Woman Suffrage, Volume I.

The correct answer is: Option C. To persuade readers that women deserve the right to vote.


The author begins their statement by introducing a man's point of view in a scenario where women are allowed to vote, and how that would alter their ego and social behaviour. This is done as a means to present a reason for men not to take a policy like that so lightly. The author then, with the final phrase "Let the majority rule", clearly invites the readers to have their voices heard about the matter, expecting these to be raised on favor of women.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

<em>Personification</em>

Explanation:

<em>Personification</em> is a figure of speech where we give human characteristics to inanimate objects.

In the given example we have Butterkist which is a famous British company that produces, among other food, biscuits. The sentence gives us an impression like Butterkist is a real person, a cook, who cooks those biscuits, so in a way, we <em>gave life</em> to the company and that represents personification.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

They may have inspired the author to make August's character strong enough to face the challenges of a new school with the loving support of his family.

Explanation:

The children's novel <em>Wonder </em>by Raquel Jaramillo tells the story of a physically deformed boy August "Auggie" Pullman. The whole plot revolves around his deformity and how he began to accept what he really is, despite the deformity. The story also delves into his relationship with his best friend Jack and his sister Olivia's frustration in having to sacrifice her needs to her brother's needs.

In Natalie Merchant's song <em>Wonder</em>, she sings about a girl who will make her way <em>"with love, with patience, and with faith"</em>. These very words may have inspired the author to make the young boy Auggie's character strong enough to be able to overcome the challenges that he will face in the new school. Added to that, the support of his loving family members, even his own sister Olivia will also help him face the challenges.
