Answer:

plays that are tragic

Explanation:

Parallelism is arranging words of identical syntactical constructions in sentences.

We need a parallel, i.e. identical, construction for the phrase plays that are funny. Obviously, the word <u>when</u> does not help to create parallelism in the corresponding phrase. The solution is simple: we should repeat the beginning of the phrase and change the adjective.

The result is a sentence with a parallel structure:

<u>Plays that are funny</u> are more popular than <u>plays that are tragic</u>.

pashok25 [27]
Jack thinks that he is some tough high and might being but really he is just being sensless and putting himself in danger. He is trying to look like a better leader than Ralph by seeming braver even though that has nothing to do with why Ralph doesn't think they should go, and smarter, even though he isn't.

What is the theme for the short film “do geese see god” created by Amazon Theater
zysi [14]

Answer:

The film is a metaphor for "the rat race." Get it? That's why the rat imagery appears throughout the film. All over the film. The film is a rant against the rat race. The lesson, therefore, is the more obvious "hey, we need to stop and 'smell the roses.'" I found the film enjoyable, and I accepted the recurring scenes as they were intended: without them, you'd have no film. So I simply didn't let the repetition get to me. I looked for inconsistencies in the images as I watched them again and again; that is, I looked for changes during the recurring events. (No, I didn't see any.) But, again, the rat race metaphor is really very clever, and I didn't understand the rat metaphor (assuming I'm correct) until the film started its second cycle. I did not find the "product placements" to be intrusive -- which I'm sure is what the film makers intended.
