Answer:

understatement : "a little busy"

It's an understatement because this person would be more than a little busy, because of the amount of work.

HYPERBOLE would be considered exaggeration...this can be confusing. :)

Grace [21]

Answer: I think it's incorrect, because they put a comma at the end of her sentence. It had a '...' already there, so why put the comma? Just what I think. I'm not entirely sure, though.

The family of four is only mentioned twice in the text. What is the effect of this narrative choice and leaving out this evidenc
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The effect of this narrative choice is that it reflects the society's ignorance of or lack of caring towards poor people, giving our attention (and favor) to the rich.

Explanation:

In the context of the article titled "Wealthy teen nearly Experiences Consequences," the author mentions the phrase 'the family of the four' twice in the text with the aim to throw light upon the shallow beliefs and careless attitude of the society towards the poor and helpless people. It emphasizes the idea of how society offers its attention and concentration over the rich so much that the poor are ignored, exploited, and overlooked excessively. This narrative choice makes the idea more effective.

Read the quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Write a one paragraph response in which you tell what the quote means and how it a
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Dr. King’s tone as he begins his letter is remarkably restrained. Considering the context – he was in solitary confinement when he learned that Birmingham clergymen had together issued a statement criticizing him and praising the city’s bigoted police force – he had every reason to make his letter a rant. And yet this address announces his purpose loud and clear: he aims not to attack but to explain. Rather than indicate what separates him from the other clergy, he calls them “fellow clergymen,” underlining one of the letter’s main themes: brotherhood. Of course, there is no shortage of passive aggressive attacks and criticism throughout the letter, but the tone remains polite, deferential, at times almost apologetic, creating a friendly and ironic tone. This marvelous collection of attributes is present from these very first words.
