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.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Read the excerpt from Spencer's narrative.

I could not have been more stunned. "He" was a "she"! Our new football coach was a female.

My mind drifted to that day last week. We had all been waiting in the locker room to meet our new coach, secretly wondering what he would be like. Would he be tough but fair? Would he be demanding but understanding? Would he motivate us before each game with a rousing speech the way Coach Jackson always had? These thoughts were abruptly interrupted when our new coach entered the locker room, stood before us, and commanded our attention.

Spencer decided to structure his narrative to start at the end. How did this affect his arrangement of the plot?

Answer:

Spencer had to go back and recount the events that led to that moment.

Explanation:

According to this excerpt from Spencer's narrative, the team were expecting a male coach and were wondering what type of person he would be. They wondered if he would be considerate, harsh demanding, or fair, however they were shocked when the new coach turned out to be a woman.

Therefore, the arrangement of the plot by Spencer by structuring his narrative to start from the end had the effect of making Spencer had to go back and recount the events that led to that moment.
