Hyperbole is the best answer here because Mrs. White is making a point at the ridiculousness of the monkey's paw being able to grant a wish. She could easily say an extra pair of hands, but instead she goes with four knowing it will sound ridiculous.

None of the other choices are good answers because there is no example of them in the excerpt we are asked to read.

How does Atticus feel when he delivers his lecture to Scout and Jem about their family’s “gentle breeding”? What does Scout noit
Wittaler [7]
"Atticus does not want to have this conversation about "gentle breeding". He repeatedly tells Scout and Jem that their Aunt Alexandra wants him to have this conversation. He says, "our aunt has asked me to try and impress upon you and Jean Louise that you are not from run-of-the-mill people". He is supposed to be informing them that their family heritage makes them upper class people, who are better than others and should behave accordingly. Scout knows that this is not how Atticus truly feels or wants them to act. She says, "My father never thought these thoughts. My father never spoke so."<span />

How does the setting shape the writer's portrayal of the plot? Explain, citing details about the historical context. A soldier f
GrogVix [38]

The setting of a story refers to the place and time where the events in a story occurred. The setting of the story, "Soldier for a Crown" is in a ship of redeemed slaves headed to Nova Scotia. The timing of the events was during the American Revolution when some African slaves escaped from their masters to join the British troops. The setting shaped the portrayal of the plot by serving as an exposition into the story.

  • The exposition is the background of a story that the author builds on. In this story by Charles Johnson, the setting serves as a background description of why the slaves were bound to Nova Scotia.

  • It was the period of the American Revolution. Slaves who joined the British troops were rewarded by being freed of slavery.

  • Thus, we see the story begin with a description of the former slaves aboard a ship en route to Nova Scotia.
