Answer: The sentences in this excerpt from John Barth's "Lost in the Funhouse" that show the postmodern element of self-reflexivity are 3) Initials, blanks, or both were often substituted for proper names in nineteenth century fiction to enhance the illusion of reality and 4) Interestingly, as with other aspects of realism, it is an illusion that is being enhanced, by purely artificial means.

Explanation: Self-reflexivity is a recurring element in postmodern literature. Self-reflexivity consists in including passages or statements which aim to reflect about the language itself and the process of writing. In that way, it functions as a literary device and it focuses on dealing with the manners of composition. In sentence 3, the author makes reference to literary strategies of the nineteenth century and, in sentence 4, he alludes to the writing process of realist writers.

How can rhetorical comparisons be used in persuasive writing?

gavmur [86]

Rhetoric usually works through the emotive, or rhetorical force of words and phrases—the emotional associations they express and elicit. Rhetoric is used to influence our beliefs and attitudes. In fact, rhetoric can be more effective than argument when it comes to influencing someone’s belief’s and attitudes. But it shouldn’t be. Rhetoric may be psychologically powerful, but by itself it establishes nothing.

What is the primary characteristic of constructive conflict?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

A). Concentrates on issues, not people.

Explanation:

Constructive conflict is defined as a conflict that aims to discover the cause or reason for the conflict is by proffering a unanimously accepted solution to resolve it.

As per the question, such conflicts would 'focus on issues instead of people' by identifying a specific issue, discussing the sources that have led to that particular issue, problem, or conflict and this mutual discussion serves to provide a concerted solution to the issue. This is the reason why it is considered as 'constructive' due to its positive and effective approach to bringing a solution to the issue. Thus, option A is the answer.
