"An account of Dr. Swift has been already collected, with great diligence and acuteness, by Dr. Hawkesworth, according to a sche

me which I laid before him in the intimacy of our friendship. I cannot therefore be expected to say much of a life, concerning which I had long since communicated my thoughts to a man capable of dignifying his narrations with so much elegance of language and force of sentiment.
Jonathan Swift was, according to an account said to be written by himself, the son of Jonathan Swift, an attorney, and was born at Dublin on St. Andrew's day, 1667: according to his own report, as delivered by Pope to Spence, he was born at Leicester, the son of a clergyman who was minister of a parish in Herefordshire. During his life the place of his birth was undetermined. He was contented to be called an Irishman by the Irish; but would occasionally call himself an Englishman. The question may, without much regret, be left in the obscurity in which he delighted to involve it."
What effect is accomplished through the author's choice to begin his account with this paragraph?
A) It shows the author is bored with the subject
B) It establishes that the author knew Jonathan Swift
C) It lets the reader know not to take his account seriously
D) It creates conflict between the author and Swift’s biographer

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

i got chu fam (i know i dont know you)

I found an old photograph where I was drawing a picture. The person who took the photo was my dad, and I (the little artist) was drawing characters. Iv been drawing ever since i can remember. I loved it then i love art now. The photo was taken when i was eight years old and i asked my dad about that day because i couldn't remember what i was doing. He told me it was a project i had been working on for weeks, and that he practically had to drag me away to get me to take a break. To this day that is something that happens, if i have a project I do my best to finish it. This tells me that i can be determined as a person and that i can be creative.

(Hope this helps)

Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it
Rudiy27

The correct answer is B. Wiesel uses rhetorical questions to encourage the audience to continue to think about his ideas

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to a speech known as "the Perils of Indifference" by Elie Wiesel who was a survivor of the Holocaust and an important author in the topic. In the excerpt presented, Wiesel refers to the indifference and the importance of learning from the past.

To explain this, the main technique Wiesel uses is rhetorical questions that are questions not intended to be answered by the audience but that encourages the audience to reflect and think about the ideas. For example, the rhetorical question "Have we really learned from our experiences? " makes the audience think about whether atrocities such as the Holocaust can occur again or the question "Has the human being become less indifferent and more human?" that questions the indifference in human societies.
