"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

Read this excerpt from Mohandas Gandhi's speech “Quit India.” What is the purpose of this speech?
ella [17]

The correct answer is: C) To persuade his countrymen to not feel hatred toward the British.

In this speech, Mohandas Gandhi, enumerates the reasons why hating the british people is wrong. We can see that this is a persuasive speech, meaning that the author tries to make the audience do something in specific or feel in a certain way about a topic by using diferent arguments. Here Gandhi states that the real enemy is the British imperialism, which is not personified strictly by the British people, that is the reason he makes a comparison between them.  He also states the dangers of reinforcing it, as it can make people choose another type of domination, the Japanese in this case, as long as the British go away.  

As we can see, the arguments used by Gandhi support this main idea, by stopping hate agains the British people, they can achieve freedom and India would be able to take responsibility for his own actions. Although the other options are found in the text they serve, as I say, to illustrate Gandhi's main point.

Read the following excerpt from a poem: The violet in her greenwood bower, Where birchen boughs with hazeis mingle May boast its
wariber [46]

c. abab

The rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyme in a poem. In order to determine the rhyme scheme, you really only need to pay attention to the last word of each line: bower, mingle, flower, dingle. The first line is labeled with the first letter of the alphabet (A). Any lines that rhyme with the first line also end in A. Since bower and flower rhyme, they are both labeled A. The next line that doesn't rhyme receives the next letter of the alphabet: B. Since bower and mingle do not rhyme, mingle is labeled B. Mingle does rhyme with dingle, so it also is labeled B. Therefore the rhyme scheme is

bower A

mingle B

flower A

dingle B
