Answer:

1. Sentence fragment- Add the missing subject or verb to make the sentence complete.

2. Run-on sentence- Break the sentence into two or more small sentences, or add punctuation to show the reader where the breaks are.

3. Too many sentences of the same length- Revise your sentence lengths to have a strong balance of short, medium, and long sentences. This can be shown visually by highlighting your draft.

4. First three words of sentences repeated- Use a thesaurus or other resource to swap it out for another word- there are many to chose from.

5. Overused transition word- Rephrase one of the repeated phrases to something else to keep your reader from getting bored.

Explanation:

In writing any academic paper, there are certain issues that make it incorrect, or incomplete or excessively expressed, or written. These issues depend on how the sentences are framed, the use of words, structuring, or even repetition.

The various writing issues and how they can be resolved are given as follows-

1. Sentence fragment

This happens when a fragment or piece of a sentence is left alone, making the sentence incomplete and thus, wrong. So, by adding the verb or the missing subject, the sentence becomes complete and correct.

2. Run-on sentence

A run-on sentence is when several sentences are put together in a single sentence, resulting in a long-running sentence. To remedy this issue, we can break the sentences into shorter, simpler sentences or add punctuations such as the comma or other signs to show where the breaks in the sentence are.

3. Too many sentences of the same length

When there is the issue of too many sentences of the same length, it is best to revise what's been written and make changes such as shortening the sentences. Or changing the sentences to different lengths can also help in making the writing more appealing.

4. First three words of sentences repeated

When there is a case of repetition of the first three words in the sentences, replacing the words with synonyms or similar words will make it interesting and readable. It will also still retain the intended meaning.

5. Overused transition word

Overusing certain transition words or phrases is one issue that makes writing unappealing. This can be altered by rephrasing the words, which will still keep the reader's interest.

Which phrase in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of sarcasm?

Which phrase in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of sarcasm?

To ask how much longer the professor will live is to ask how much longer we must wait for the blessings of another world war. He is of short-lived stock: his mother lived to be fifty-three, his father to be forty-nine; and the life-spans of his grandparents on both sides were of the same order. He might be expected live, then, for perhaps fifteen years more, if he can remain hidden from his enemies. When one considers the number and vigor of these enemies, however, fifteen years seems an extraordinary length of time, which might better be revised to fifteen days, hours, or minutes. The professor knows that he cannot live much longer. I say this because of the message left in my mailbox on Christmas Eve. Unsigned, typewritten on a soiled scrap of paper, the note consisted of ten sentences. The first nine of these, each a bewildering tangle of psychological jargon and references to obscure texts, made no sense to me at first reading. The tenth, unlike the rest, was simply constructed and contained no large words.

Answer:

To ask how much longer the professor will live is to ask how much longer we must wait for the blessings of another world war.

Explanation:

Sarcasm is simply defined as using irony to mock or ridicule something or someone.

From this excerpt of Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect". the phrase that is used which is an example of sarcasm is To ask how much longer the professor will live is to ask how much longer we must wait for the blessings of another world war.

War is not a blessing, so the narrator used that word to show irony to probably convey contempt. Also, he also means that no one knows how long the professor will live because it is as uncertain as knowing when a world war will start.

"blessings" being the key word, because a world war would not bring blessings, but devastation.

I have been inspired in spaces like target and barnes and noble, and also in certain restaurants. I love atmospheres and to see what others are doing. I was inspired by Toronto, CA because of the city structure, and its underground living system. You can nearly walk the city without stepping outside! I am inspired by the color pink and Madonna. I am inspired by my friends, family and coworkers.
