English

MArishka [77]4 years ago
6 0

The statement given here is an example of : Paradox.

Explanation:

Paradox is when seemingly incomprehensible and diametrically opposite things are said together in tandem in a sentence to draw out a conflicting meaning out of it.

This is a clear example  of paradox as in the given sentence we can see that there are two conflicts that are irreconcilable in any way.

The person who loses his life cannot find it because finding and losing one's life seems diametrically opposite yet the sentence does make sense in the sense of the rhetoric.

alukav5142 [94]

The correct answer is a) to suggest the hopelessness of Zeitoun’s situation

The author Dave Eggers alludes to Zeitoun's sense of utter catastrophe as he witnesses New Orleans submerged by hurricane Katrina in the extract from "Zeitoun."

For instance, the narrator mentions how the entire city is under water and that Zeitoun's tent is surrounded by nothing but water.

The main character searches for moving objects like people, animals, or machinery, but he doesn't find anything until the helicopter takes off.

Answer:

The narrator's description of the mother contrasted sharply with the revelation of the mother's secret, revealing her to be someone she presented herself not to be which surprises and shocks the reader, as the mother was practically described as being a saint.

Explanation:

In A Dead Woman's Secret the narrator described the mother as a rigid disciplinarian who instilled unshakable morals in her children, which resulted in the son becoming a magistrate without pity for the weak and the daughter becoming a nun.

This description creates an image of the mother as a virtuous woman in the reader's mind, as also assumed by her son and daughter.

So the surprise is real when the mother is revealed to be a woman who had an affair with a man that was not her husband, the behavior is not in keeping with who she was described to be.
