Answers

Answer 1

The statements with use the rhetorical device of understatement are the ones that begins with "The solution..." and "We do not need...", options B and C.

Understatement as a rhetorical device

We can usually define understatement as saying something in a way that makes it seem less serious or important that what it really is. As a rhetorical device, understatement can come in the form of giving vain and simple solutions to big problems.

That is what we have in options B and C. Both sentences make it seem as if solving problems related to pollution and food insecurity is something simple and fast.

With the information above in mind, we can select options B and C as the correct answers.

Please help!! I will mark brainliest! The story is "An excerpt from Great expectations" by Charles Dickens

Identify the point of view from which Great Expectations is told. Then discuss how the story might be different if it were told from another point of view. Quote the excerpt, provide details, and
consider first-person, third-person limited, and third-person omniscient narration.

Answers

By reading "Great Expectations," we can see that the narration is done from the first-person point of view.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The first-person point of view occurs when the narrator of the story is a character.This narrator is telling his own story and for this reason, we can consider him as a limited narrator, as he can only speak what he knows and what he has seen."Great Expectation" has this kind of narration, as the narrator is Pip, the protagonist, who is telling his own story.

We can see this, right in the first paragraph of the book where Pip, as a narrator says:

"My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian  name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names  nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called  myself Pip, and came to be called Pip."

After talking about how the author seen roses damask'd, (which means patterned or streaked with red or white) the author talks about how she sees no roses (which are red) in her cheeks implying that the Goddess is in fact pale since damask'd meant a pattern with red and white.

Answers

...What is the word in italics?

I'm assuming by the options and context clues, the word is "ponderous"

It should be heavy, because ponderous means with a lot of weight(basically).

If it was sharp why would she pick it up? If it was slippery, why would she make her neighbor pick it up? If it was too heavy for her to remove, she would go get help from her neighbor.

So yeah, your answer is C, heavy.

The answer is Heavy!!!

2. Analyze Mr. Hooper's conversation with Elizabeth is the first time that readers learn
about Mr. Hooper from his own words. What insight does this conversation provide
about Mr. Hooper's character?

Answers

As we read the conversation between Mr. Hooper and Elizabeth, we can see that Hooper is determined to continue to wear the black veil, no matter what it may cause.

We can arrive at this answer as follows:

Elizabeth and Hooper are engaged.Their conversation started because Elizabeth demands to know why Hooper is wearing a black veil all the time.The black veil makes Hooper look somber and Elizabeth believes that, as his fiancée, she has a right to know why he is acting this way.However, Hooper is unwilling to either tell her why he is wearing the veil or stop wearing it.He believes Elizabeth should trust him as his bride.

The conversation between them shakes the engagement between the two, but Hooper shows that he will continue wearing the veil even if it saddens his fiancée and even if the engagement needs to be ended.

This question is related to "The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this story, we meet a Puritan town that is terrified of the town's minister's decision to wear a mysterious black veil.

about the thickness of a walking stick.

How much more graphic do you need it? It's not scientific. and it could be be realistic if the subject wasn't an alien. There is nothing comforting in the tone. If you actually saw this thing, you'd be horrified.
