a. understatement

The author uses understatement to make it look like Denise knew her condition was bad, and that it was very cold outside, but by sayin I might have to skip a swim in the lake today, she says that it is very cold outside by making it look like the weather is a little bad.

Which details reveal the setting of the passage? Check
leonid [27]

Answer:

"the north and the west are good hunting ground"

"it is forbidden to go east"

"it is there that there are the ashes of the Great Burning"

Explanation:

The excerpt from "By the Waters of Babylon"(short story) by Stephen Vincent Benet narrates John's journey to New York who is a young man initiated into the priesthood. The story occurs in a post-technological world where the priests scavenge the "dead places" for metal where John discovers the ruins and finds the technologies that he wishes to bring back to their people. Thus, the above details best compliment the setting of the passage i.e. post-apocalyptic.

mariarad [96]

Answer and explanation:

<em>"So it was the hand that started it all... his hands had been infected, and soon it would be his arms...his hands were ravenous". </em>(Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, page 41).

This quote explains a part of the story in which Montag returns back to his home after another book-burning mission. But this one ended tragically because a woman set her house on fire. Before the woman commands herself on this decision, Montag takes a specific book with him. And is after he reads this book, that he starts his rebellion against the state. So that's why the book says that it would this hand (Montag's hand) that started it all.
