Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
I was powerful glad to get away from the feuds, and so was Jim to get away
from the swamp. We said there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do
seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't.
This excerpt provides an example of a(n)
oxymoron
allusion
hyperbole
paradox
Answers
The correct answer is D. Paradox.
Explanation
A paradox is a term to refer to an idea logically contradictory or opposed to the general consideration of what is considered true. According to the above, the fragment is a paradox because the author refers to the boat as a "home". In addition, he expresses "Other places seem so crowded and suffocating, but a raft does not", which could be considered a logically contradictory idea because a raft is very small or suffocating in size. So the correct answer is D. Paradox.

I am person who easily gets excited and disappointed.Even small things like watching a new movie in cinema or going out to restaurant gets me excited.
But here I would like to talk about something that made me really, really excited.It was the time when I went to an amusement park with my niece and nephew.My niece and nephew live in Canada and they visit India very rarely.
Two years ago, they had come to India with my sister for the summer vacations.
They love going to amusement park but because of summer heat I didn’t want to take them.It was a really hot summer and the temperatures were touching 40-45 degree Celsius.I was feeling very upset that I had to turn down their requests for taking them to the park every day.But one night it rained, and the temperatures came down a bit.
I decided I would get no better opportunity and so I immediately booked the entry tickets to the park online for the next day.
But I wanted to surprise my niece and nephew and thus I didn’t tell them that we were going to the park.
On the journey as well I kept them busy talking with me and hence, they never noticed that we were going there.
I was excited because I knew how thrilled they would be once we reached the park and they were elated.
They never expected it and it came as a huge surprise.
For the whole day, we tried different rides.
My nephew is a bit young and he was afraid, but my nine-year-old niece wanted to try rides even I was bit afraid of.
In the evening, they both gave a huge hug and thanked me for the surprise.
I can never express how I felt then.
I can just say that it was one of most memorable days of my life.
I am planning for another such surprise when they visit me next time.

win
it's nown foom of the under lined word)
Answers
This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.
Answer: Your success has been a great pleasure for us.
Explanation:
The question requires modifying the sentence by using the noun form of the word 'pleased,' which is the word 'pleasure".
Some versions of this question found online require that the new sentence begins with the phrase "Your success has..."
To form the new sentence, we need to remember that, in the active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action described by the verb. E.g., We are pleased by your success. On the other hand, in the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is acted upon. E.g., Your success pleases us.
However, in this case, we need to rephrase the sentence to include the word 'pleasure,' so, instead of 'Your success has pleased us greatly', the correct answer is 'Your success has been a great pleasure for us.'

My uncle loves jazz but he won't be able to attend the festival.
Where should a comma be placed?
A. after jazz
B. after he
C. after able
D. after but
Answers
Answer:
A comma should be placed:
A. after jazz.
Explanation:
The sentence in the question is a compound sentence. That means it is formed by two independent clauses. Independent clauses have a subject and a predicate, and they are able to stand alone as a sentence since they convey a complete thought.
To join two independent clauses, we must use a coordinating conjunction. The coordinating conjunctions are: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. However, just adding the conjunction between the clauses is incorrect. We must place a comma before the conjunction. Thus, in the sentence we are analyzing here, the comma must be placed right before "but", or after "jazz":
My uncle loves jazz, but he won't be able to attend the festival.

Hello. You did not present the text or even the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
The best way to answer this question is by looking at the meaning of "preempted" in the dictionary and looking for synonyms, that is, different words that have the same meaning. In this case, you should evaluate the response options and identify one that represents a synonym, or one that has a meaning very close to the meaning of "preempted." Also, the option you choose must be able to replace "preempted" in the text and keep the meaning and coherence of the text.
