In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British ru

le in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. . . . Such phraseology is needed if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them. Consider for instance some comfortable English professor defending Russian totalitarianism. He cannot say outright, "I believe in killing off your opponents when you can get good results by doing so.” Probably, therefore, he will say something like this:
While freely conceding that the Soviet regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore, we must, I think, agree that a certain curtailment of the right to political opposition is an unavoidable concomitant of transitional periods, and that the rigors which the Russian people have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement.

Which statement correctly identifies the way evidence is used to support the underlined claim?

A-Orwell lists statistics to support the underlined claim.
B-Orwell quotes an article with examples of cloudy language.
C-Orwell provides a hypothetical situation with someone using unclear language.
D-Orwell lists facts to prove that most newspapers use puzzling language.

As Santiago considers why he needs to keep his jacket, even though he spends most of the day carrying it around in the heat, a c
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

In "The Alchemist," by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, Andalusian shepherd boy Santiago prefers to keep his jacket for the reason that in the south of Spain the temperature changes from extremely hot during the day to very cold at night. Besides, the jacket is a representation of his willingness to change and see the world during his journey to Egypt, which has to do with the central theme of the novel: readiness to change.
