The sentence that does not use exaggeration to create a comic effect is C. Therefore, option C is correct.
Exaggeration is a literary technique or figure of speech in which statements or descriptions are presented as larger, grander, more intense, or more extreme than they actually are.
This sentence does not employ exaggeration or hyperbole for comic effect. It presents a reflection on the narrator's regret about their past actions and the realization of the suffering experienced by others. The tone is more serious and introspective compared to the other sentences, which use exaggeration to create humor. Thus, option C is correct.

Answer:
"Yesterday's basketball victory - the crowd was ecstatic - guarantees us a chance at the state title."
Explanation:
The dashes should be placed, in the sentence, where there is an "interruption" of thought. That is, where the sentence is somehow interrupted by another sentence. In this way, the dashes should be placed around the phrase "the crowd was ecstatic".
HAMLET. Never make known what you have seen tonight
HORATIO/MARCELLUS. My lord, we will not.
HAMLET. Nay, but swear’t.
HORATIO. In faith, my lord, not I.
MARCELLUS. Nor I, my lord, in faith.
HAMLET. Upon my sword.
—Hamlet, act 1, scene 5
Hamlet is asking the men to help him in his quest for revenge. Revenge was important for the Elizabethans.
Hamlet is forcing the men to pretend they did not see the ghost, as this goes against Protestantism, which is something that contemporary Londoners would have related to.
Hamlet is asking the men to convert to another religion. This would have struck a chord with an Elizabethan crowd.
Hamlet is asking the men to swear an oath of secrecy and loyalty, and the theme of loyalty and honor would have resonated with the audience.

Which of the following groups was Twain attempting to satirize with this statement?
the uneducated
the townspeople
the people in power
the people of Arkansas
Answer:
answer is C
Explanation:
Mark Twain's statement in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn satirizes the people in power, reflecting a common theme in Twain's work where he uses humor to criticize the corruption and the potential for the abuse of authority by powerful individuals.
Mark Twain, in the excerpt from chapter 23 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, uses satire to target the people in power. When Huck exclaims that "all kings are mostly rapscallions," Twain is not only reflecting Huck's mistrust towards those with status and power but is also making a broader social commentary about the corruption and shortcomings often associated with ruling figures. These sentiments coincide with Twain's use of satire throughout his works, which was a common tool for him to criticize societal norms and authority, as seen in several of his other novels, such as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Twain often employed humor and wit to question the integrity and competence of powerful individuals, suggesting a skepticism towards the aristocratic and ruling classes, and the potential for abuse of power they held.
