What sound device is used in this excerpt from "How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia t

o Medicine Hat"? There were sixty-six representatives on the committee and they decided to call it the Committee of Sixty-Six. It was a distinguished committee and when they all sat together holding their mouths under their noses and cleaning their ears and scratching themselves under the chin looking thoughtful (just like a distinguished committee) then anybody would say just to look at them, "This must be quite a distinguished committee."

Writing under the name of 'Diedrich Knickerbocker', Washington Irving aimed his political satire, at as diverse topics as political rivals such as; Thomas Jefferson, to the very ideal of looking back on the past affectionately.

Explanation:

Punctuations are the marks, such as full stops, commas, colons, semi colons, hyphens, brackets, exclamation marks , question marks, Apostrophes etc, that  are used to make a sentence more comprehensive and understandable.

Punctuations help bring out the meaning of the sentence clearly and fully to the readers.

Hyphens are used to join adjectives. Colons are used to connect two independent clauses. Full stops are used to show the sentence has come to an end.

Exclamation marks are used to denote the emotions of the person, while uttering the sentence.

you are a black man or woman at a restaurant that refuses to sit you. write 3 paragraphs explaining what you would do.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
I would most likely calmly tell them that I am a citizen of the United States too, and I demand a table. If they still will not seat me, I would probably calmly exit the restaurant and find somewhere that will. That's on them for not seating someone because of their race or culture.
Hope this helps~!
