Answer: A) It draws a conclusion about a population based on a small sample.

Explanation: A flawed reasoning is when we make a conclusion that is wrong because the reasoning that led us to that conclusion, was wrong too. In the given example, the reasoning is flawed because Barbara Kingsolver is drawing a conclusion about a population ("everyone with an iota of social position wore polka-dot shirts and miniskirts") based on a small sample (in this case, probably just a few people she had seen wear polka-dot shirts and miniskirts).

The two Paths that Cross at the River

Answer:

1. She should capitalize "two" because it is an adjective.

Explanation:

The above is the change that would be correct. In capitalization of titles, it is important to note that the first and last words of the title should be capitalized. Also, all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs should be capitalized. Articles (a, an, the), prepositions and coordinating conjunctions should be lowercased.

When "two" is used to modify a noun/noun phrases or pronouns, they act as adjectives. The "two" should be capitalized because it is an adjective, modifying the noun "Paths".

How does the excerpt satirize the clergy?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

By revealing the clergy's vindictive abuse of power.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of stories told by a group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The given excerpt is from "Prologue to the Pardoner's Tale" where the clergy talks of his 'job' of pardoning people but as a means to profit from them.

In the given excerpt, the pardoner reveals how he used his clergy position to 'attack' those who criticize him. His victims <em>"can't escape slander and defamation"</em>, which he admits is <em>"how [he] deals with people who annoy [him]"</em>. This reveals how the pardoner used the guise of being holy and virtuous to attack his enemies or anyone criticizing him. This shows the vindictive abuse of power by the clergy.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
