What sentences from Arthur Conan Doyle's "the contest" suggest that the authors tone is mocking?

English

Ann [662]3 years ago

Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform." Is the sentence that really shows mockery the best. While the author was praising him for what he was doing in the beginning it ends with such a mocking tone it changes the way you look at the rest of the reading.

From "The Locket"
Amanda [17]

Option B best presents a summary of section I of "The Locket." This option states that:

"A group of Confederate soldiers are gathered around a fire. Two of the men gently tease a third, Edmond, about the locket he wears. Later, Edmond falls asleep thinking about the woman who had given him the locket. He dreams of a serpent coiling around his throat. Suddenly, he is awoken with the rush of impending battle. When the fighting is finished, a clergyman finds a dead soldier wearing the locket, which he unfastens and takes with him."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • A summary must be objective and straightforward text.
  • In this text, the main points of another text should be presented, highlighting the most important and necessary parts for the understanding of the story.

Option B perfectly represents the important parts of section I of "The Locket" as it shows the existence of Edmond's locket, the moment he slept thinking about the woman who gave him the locket, the dream of the snake, the battle he fought, the death and identification of his body by the priest.

"Time, like water, sits in a pot unable to boil if your eye isn't constantly on it."
aliina [53]
Hi Duolingocom4!!!
Similies are statements that compare two things, usually with the word "like" or "as".
Examples:
Crazy like a fox.
As brave as a lion

So, what two things are being compared in this?
So first we see "time". So that is obviously on of the two being compared. The next thing said is, "like water". So, now we know that time and water are being compared, or, answer A.

I hope I helped! Message me if you need more help :)

5. The image of the "blurred yellow rectangle of a taxicab" in the final paragraph helps dramatize
torisob [31]

Answer:

B The dizzying height from which the narrator regards the city streets

Explanation

In the scene in which the image of the taxicab appears, the narrator is standing 70 feet above the ground, on the fire stair of the Carnegie Hall.

<u>In one of the previous sentences, he describes how he clenches tightly to the railing, while in the same sentence he refers to "the steep drop" and "reaching me from seven floors below". </u>

These are the reasons why we know he refers to the <u>dizzying heights</u> and not the effects of the rain, even though it is the stormy night.

We also know he is not in the taxicab or at Times Square, which is why options C and E are not true, and he does not talk about any other taxicabs, which is why option D is false.
