The title "A Modest Proposal" tells the reader that the piece is satirical because the author's proposal is actually extreme and violent, not gentle as the title says. The correct answer of the question would be option C. When we say satirical, this means that it has the intention of criticizing in a humorous way.

The correct answer is C. The author’s proposal is actually extreme and violent, not gentle as the title says.

Satire, similar to irony, is achieved when you are trying to mock something or someone, usually by exaggerating and writing the opposite of what is expected. So, the title A Modest Proposal is not modest by any means - Swift wrote in this text that poor people should sell their children to rich people as food in order to keep the economy going. You can clearly see how the title is satirical then.

The correct answer should be
A Ogilvy’s curiosity tends to overcome his better judgment.

He is curious about it and while anyone else would probably avoid the place or be scared of going near the meteorite, Ogilvy doesn't care about that and wants to know what it looks like and what it is. It goes for the worse when he realizes what is actually happening.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” I went north—I did not try to hide myself. When a god or a demon saw me, then

Maslowich

The correct answer is “His desire to explore is greater than his fear of where he is going”. Taken from the short story “By the Waters of Babylon” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits the Place of the Gods, also called The Dead Place. This place was destroyed by a great burning. Moreover, the Place of the Gods was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. The place was described as a desolate one and nature has taken over it. Even though the place was forbidden and scary, John embarks on a journey to unravel its mysteries. He does not fear its scary atmosphere, since his insatiable quest for knowledge is far more important.

Which sentence best describes an aesthetic impact?

goldenfox [79]

Aesthetics is refers in a very simple way as the theory of beauty, it is used in arta, in this case, literature. It makes a lot of different questions related to beauty and similar concepts. What makes things beautiful? Which elements contribute to it's beauty and how? You can see that this is a concept that is very difficult to address as philosophers continue debating towards it's elements and characteristics. In this case we are talking of an aesthetic impact, feeling in a powerful way, the beauty of a text. I think the best answer therefore is: D) The way the plot comes full circle is meant to make the reader fell satisfied.

Some of the characteristics of art that we most enjoy are the symmetry and harmony, literature is not the exception, we feel pleaced when this is achieved in a story or a poem. By having a plot that comes full circle this is accomplished, giving the sensation to the reader that he had a round experience, in which nothing was left aside closing the circle.

Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: third-person omniscient

Explanation: In the third person point of view, the narrator is someone outside the story, who frequently uses pronouns, like 'he,' 'she,' and 'they,' to describe the characters.

The third-person omniscient point of view is a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story. The third-person is not the same as the third-person limited, a point of voice that adheres closely to one character's perspective, usually the main character's.
