This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Read Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut.
During the party for Billy and Valencia’s eighteenth wedding anniversary, Billy is greatly upset by the barbershop quartet (219-30; 172-80 in the shorter edition). Summarize what happens to him in this moment and why. What do you think Vonnegut is saying about the nature of memory in this section of the book (and indeed throughout the book)?
Answer:
The barbershop quartet reminds Billy of the German officers when they saw the destruction caused by the bombing of Dresden. Billy breaks down and realizes he has some "big secret" inside. Vonnegut´s ideas about the nature of memory appear in Billy´s suppressing his emotion during the war, to end up having his later civilian life shape by what happened there.
Explanation:
Traumatized by the horrors of war, Billy´s memory constantly takes him into vivid flashbacks, showing that he hasn´t truly processed what he has gone through.

An email giving details of five broken vases received from a seller:
- Claim - part of me wants to say that this is a request, but nothing in the sentence says that the customer wanted to be refunded or receive a new product. With this knowledge, this is most likely a claim since the customer is making a claim about the product received. However, I could be incorrect.
A letter outlining an idea to increase a company's sales by 10 percent:
- Proposal - This is an idea, not a plan in effect. Therefore, it is a proposal.
A letter complaining about the service at a dry cleaner:
- Claim - Once again, I want to say that this is a request, but nothing in the sentence says that the customer is requesting a refund for the service, so I am going to say that this is a claim since the customer is making a claim about their service. Once again, I could be incorrect.

As you know, I am interested in IT. I don't have much experience so can you give me some useful advice. What job would be perfect for me at the moment?
Yours truly,
Mark N.

Explanation:
Non sequitur refers to a stated conclusion that is not necessarily a logical result of the facts presented. In the answer, the fact that all the houses in the area are expensive does not necessarily imply that they are well-built.
Other examples of non sequitur are:
<em>I've lived in this town for a long time and my grandfather was the first mayor, so I'm against putting fluoride in the drinking water!</em>

<em>Matt likes cooking, which involves food, so he should work at a grocery store.</em>
