I started for school very late that morning and was in great dread of a scolding, especially because M. Hamel had said that he w

ould question us on participles, and I did not know the first word about them. For a moment I thought of running away and spending the day out of doors. It was so warm, so bright! The birds were chirping at the edge of the woods; and in the open field back of the sawmill the Prussian soldiers were drilling. It was all much more tempting than the rule for participles, but I had the strength to resist, and hurried off to school.
When I passed the town hall there was a crowd in front of the bulletin-board. For the last two years all our bad news had come from there—the lost battles, the draft, the orders of the commanding officer—and I thought to myself, without stopping:

"What can be the matter now?"…

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

Prussian Soldiers drill? Out in the open? Why are they doing that if it is peacetime? So the student could be impressed by the drill and the color of the uniform, but he must have known something far more meaningful. He must have known about the nature of war and he knew enough that he did not want to participate in even just by watching. So he goes to school prepared  to be lectured about not knowing about words ending in ed or ing (in English).

<em>Prussian soldiers were drilling. It was all much more tempting than the rule for participles, but I had the strength to resist, and hurried off to school.</em>

You have to pick the bulletin board as your next example. Without reading the exact contents of today's news, he knew it couldn't be good. Casualty lists come to mind.

How does Oscar Wilde use Algernon’s attitude to poke fun at society’s traditional rules of behavior?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The way Oscar Wilde used Algernon’s attitude to poke fun at society’s traditional rules of behavior is:

In traditional society, Algernon would be expected to defend his aunt. Instead, he speaks freely about his feelings toward family.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are that in the first place the story takes place in a context that idealized and expected people to defend his family even if what people said about them was the truth. Now, the way Wilde turns this is a very progressive one that made him a brilliant misunderstood individual because he said relationships don't know when to die.

valina [46]

Answer:

Hasty generalization

Explanation:

This describes the fallacy of hasty generalization. This fallacy occurs when a conclusion is reached, despite the fact that the information is insufficient or biased. Therefore, the conclusion is not logically justified. This fallacy proceeds from the particular to the general, as it bases its conclusions on a small sample, and tries to extrapolate this information to the population at large.
