Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."

English

Answer:

"The children moved listlessly towards the aunt's end of the carriage."

"In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good."

Explanation:

Situational irony occurs when the expected thing does not happen, or when the opposite result than what is presumed takes place. In the excerpt from "The Storyteller," by Hector Hugh Munro (Saki), when the aunt offers to tell the children a story, they do not expect it to be a good one. In fact, it is a boring account about an extremely good girl.

4vir4ik [10]

The correct answer is: “information on weather conditions in Louisiana and the Caribbean”. Taken from the book “<em>Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science</em>” by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos (2010), the details included about the weather conditions in Louisiana and the Caribbean are used to support the claim that “<u>sugar was a killer</u>”. As the text tells, <em>sugar was a killer</em> because of the cold snaps in Louisiana. The authors narrate the details that explain the claim (sugar was a killer). For instance, they narrate that the slaves needed to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills, and that the entire crop had to be cut down between mid-October and December, and that people needed to work faster than the weather and to keep pace with machines.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Which phrase uses the rhetorical device pathos? Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson (adapted excerpt) We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain fundamental rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. To institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to most likely affect their safety and happiness. Prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while injustices are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
