This sounds like satire to me. the speaker is, in a way, mocking those who disregard their own ignorance in situations to answer or quote something that they believe to be true, but is actually incorrect.

The correct answer is D) satire.

<em>The above quote is an example of satire.</em>

When we read the quote "…it is best one should quote what one doesn’t understand at all in the language one knows the least," we realize we are talking about satire.

This quote is from the great Voltaire. This quote appears in his book "Candice and Other Stories.," considered by the experts a classic satire novel. It was published in 1759. In the novel, Voltaire makes a parody of some elements of religion and politics. Voltaire (1694-1778),  was one of the most important French writers during the Enlightenment. So yes, when we read the quote "…it is best one should quote what one doesn’t understand at all in the language one knows the least," we realize we are talking about satire.

Directions: True or false? Support an evidence to each statement below from the article.
Damm [24]

Hello. You did not enter the text in the article to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

1. Developing countries tend to have more social backward and traditional ideas, which impose very defined social standards and very strict gender roles. Although there are exceptions, the less developed a country is, the greater are the cases of devaluation of women, causing girls not to be welcomed in these countries.

2. This means that families do not see the birth of girls as a sign of wealth, but rather a sign of expense and bad luck, as in many places, women are prevented from working and even studying.

3. This type of positioning strongly influences the behavior of the girls as they grow up, causing them to become highly oppressed, repressed and insecure in relation to themselves and in relation to the world. However, countries that position themselves differently in relation to girls also have different influences on their behavior.

4. The feeling of devaluation prevents girls from fully developing, being unable to take on the responsibilities of their lives independently and completely.

5. In this case, the impact is negative not only on girls, but also on the country, which loses a large number of successful professionals, since it discriminates against women. This prevents countries from being successful and causes them to be frowned upon internationally.

Which sentence is an example of conflict and its resolution from the reading?
Musya8 [376]

Answer: Bilbo's indecision about whether he should go on the adventure; his determination to give it a go

Explanation:

Conflict resolutions supposes reaching an agreement after pondering all possibilities and versions of the situation. Conflict resolution also means finding a solution to the difficult situation. The correct answer is the one related to Bilbo's indecision, because he was having a strong internal conflict about whether to go on the adventure or not, but he finally took a decision and came up with a solution, after all: to give it a go.

All the other instances do not comprise a solution: the dwarves have a grudge with the goblins, but the dwarves seeking revenge is not a solution. The dwarves telling the burglar they don't welcome him on the voyage isn't a solution either and they haven't reached any conclusion. Gandalf disappearing and then having an illness does not hint at any conflict (internal or between two parties) and his illness definitely isn't a resolution.
