articipant in military planning, which validates his patriotic heritage. The author presents the Reverend as a close observer of the Russian military, which suggests his alliance with the enemy. The author presents the Reverend as an admirer of Scoresby’s manners, which causes suspicion about the Reverend’s conclusion.

Answer:

The author presents the Reverend as an eyewitness to multiple examples of Scoresby's good fortune, which adds reliability to his account.

Explanation:

According to the book "Luck" by Mark Twain, the story is told of an English war hero Lord Scoresby who is a total idiot but managed to achieve legendary status by sheer luck. The Reverend was an instructor to Scoresby at military academy and tells how Scoresby somehow got through military school even though he is a complete idiot.

Therefore the author advances the plot through the use of the Reverend character by presenting Reverend as an eyewitness which adds reliability and credibility to his account.

Which sentence describes a memoir? A. An author writes about the life of a king during the French Revolution. B. A student gives
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Memoirs are those writings by a person about his/ her own life experiences. It may or may not have a historical importance, but most of the memoirs like Elie Weisel's "Night" serves an important source of witness' accounts of the events that happened in the past.

Among the given sentences, the best example of a memoir is the chef writing "about his early cooking years in Germany and France". He himself is the writer, making it a personal account of his earlier days. Also, he wrote about his days as a young chef, writing about his experiences so as to provide an insight into what his life was before. The first option is not about the personal account of the king, the second being a student's personal views which are not valid for a memoir or anything memorable. The last option is a personal account but about an unimportant topic, a detailed description of bikes and their parts which cannot be deemed a memoir.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Read the sentences below from “Federigo’s Falcon.” Describe how each sentence’s diction affects your feelings about the story an
miskamm [114]

Answer:The first sentence describes how Federigo lived happily after his marriage. However, I do not feel that Federigo is truly in love with his wife. The references to his “wealthy” wife and his better managed “financial affairs” give me the impression that Federigo lacks passion.

Rewritten sentence: He was married to the woman he loved, and she was also very rich. His situation motivated him to manage his money more wisely, and he had a happy life with her.

The second sentence tells the reader that Monna Giovanna “commended,” or praised, Federigo for the “greatness of his spirit” despite having “lost all hope of getting the falcon” and “improving the health of her son.” She also “reproached” (gently scolded) Federigo for killing the Falcon. These words show that Monna is a gentle and sensitive person, and yet she has a strong spirit. Many people in her situation would have lost control and shouted or wept in this situation. However, Monna praises and thanks Federigo for his “good will” and accepts her son’s fate.

Rewritten sentence: When she realized Federigo had killed the falcon, she gently scolded him. But secretly she thought that he had acted in an honorable manner, despite being poor. She thanked Federigo for his generosity to her. She was sad as she returned to her sick son because with the falcon dead, she had no hope of saving his life.
