Answer:
D. I don't appreciate being ignored, so I plan on calling you every day until you answer the phone.
The sentence is unclear because of the disagreement between the subject and the verb. "Tommy the Clown" is a singular noun. The sentence then states that "the Hip Hop Clowns" is another name to refer to the same person, however, this is written in plural form. The verb "travel" is written in a plural form, which does not match the number of the subject "Tommy the Clown." The right way to write this sentence would be:
"Tommy the Clown or the Hip Hop Clown travels the world performing for diverse audiences."
B. the printing press
C. the military drone
D. he x-ray
Answer:
C. the military drone .
Explanation:
Science fiction is a literary genre that explores potential consequences of a particular form of technology, invention, or discovery in a dystopian or utopian setting.
The figure of the robot, in fact, is such a product of both historical (the figure of the automaton) and literary manifestations (like in Asimov´s literature). As such, the military drone, with its capacity to be active, in relative terms, independently of human control, could be a forerunner to a specific science fiction robot that could very well become a reality one day.
b. an autobiography
c. a newspaper article
d. a magazine article
Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flea the carcass; the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen.
As to our City of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose, in the most convenient parts of it, and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.
A very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues I highly esteem, was lately pleased, in discoursing on this matter, to offer a refinement upon my scheme. He said, that many gentlemen of this kingdom, having of late destroyed their deer, he conceived that the want of venison might be well supply'd by the bodies of young lads and maidens, not exceeding fourteen years of age, nor under twelve; so great a number of both sexes in every country being now ready to starve for want of work and service: And these to be disposed of by their parents if alive, or otherwise by their nearest relations. But with due deference to so excellent a friend, and so deserving a patriot, I cannot be altogether in his sentiments; for as to the males, my American acquaintance assured me from frequent experience, that their flesh was generally tough and lean, like that of our school-boys, by continual exercise, and their taste disagreeable, and to fatten them would not answer the charge. Then as to the females, it would, I think, with humble submission, be a loss to the publick, because they soon would become breeders themselves: And besides, it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice, (although indeed very unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty, which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, how well soever intended.
a. and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat,
b. A very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues I highly esteem, was lately pleased, in discoursing on this matter, to offer a refinement upon my scheme
c. But with due deference to so excellent a friend, and so deserving a patriot, I cannot be altogether in his sentiments;
d. it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice, (although indeed very unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty, which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, how well soever intended.
Distorted logic shows that people in Ireland in Swift's time would act illogically in order to find solutions to their daily problems. The author criticizes the projects that have been taken to fix the poor's problems. Swift writes about the ills of his period in a satirical way. Working through the answers, we find this satire in the last option. A also contains satire, however in part D, Swift applies distorted logic that his opinion cannot be debated. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
Answer:
C. to indicate a direct quotation
Explanation:
When you are writing about someone and you want to add variety and colour to your writting to make it more appealing to the reader, you can quote what that person said, in this case you need to use quotation marks, to indicate that what you are writing is exactly what that person said and not something that you say or think.
