<em>The man with the umbrella</em> in Sorrentino's "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" <em>conveys to the central themes of the monotony of everyday life and the absurdity of the modern world.</em>

"There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is a short story written by Fernando Sorrentino that tells the story of a the relationship between the narrator and the man with the umbrella that hits the narrator for 5 consecutive years. The character of the man with the umbrella represents the monotony of everyday life and the absurdity of the modern world as he does the same action, which is in some way a useless action, every day no matter what, for 5 years. He, representing monotony and how the modern world works, shows no emotion and seems to be unaffected by anything that happens around him.

Citing passages from a text is one way to _____
Oksanka [162]

Citing passages from a text is one way to provide elaboration in an essay.

The reason why this would be your answer is because when you cite your source, it allows to person to go to the source to see more information about the quote you got, and not leave them empty handed. If you didn't cite you source, it would be considered plagiarism, and wouldn't allow the reader to get to know more about the quote and what happens.

Does this sentence contain a double negative? There aren’t any ripe bananas in this bunch. yes no
Irina-Kira [14]
The correct answer would be B) No because there is only one negative in the sentence and that would be ''aren't'' since that means are not, so since that's only one, and not two, its not a double.
