Answer:

D) Punishment

Explanation:

The noun <em>scourge </em>refers to something or someone that causes great trouble or suffering, or the use of a whip as an instrument for physical punishment. Some synonyms of scourge are <em>torment, affliction </em>and <em>punishment.</em> As a result, Mandela means that children should run freely and not be menaced, confronted or taken advantage of.

Identify the sentence that incorporates parallel structure.
AysviL [449]
<span>d. During my week at camp, I scaled the climbing wall, built a fort, and jumped on the trampoline.

Parallelism happens when there is a similar grammatical structure within a sentence or across a group of sentences so that there is a similar sound, meaning, or meter. It is important to use parallelism when listing actions. In sentence D, all of the activities in the list have the same structure. They all begin with a past tense verb (scaled, built, jumped) and end in a noun (wall, fort, trampoline). A is wrong because the first two verbs in the list end in -ing, but sleep does not. I should be: rock-climbing, mountain biking and sleeping. In B the first three verbs are all past tense, but skiing is not. It should be: swam, hiked, biked, skied. C is wrong because the structure is a verb ending with -ing followed by a noun. There is no verb before crafts in the list. It should be: playing soccer, riding mountain bikes, and making crafts. </span>

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Parody.

Explanation:

A parody is a vulgar, exaggerated, or comic imitation of another work known to the public, through which the original work is ridiculed, even by small references to it. Broadly speaking, a parody is a sub-form of a satire: the story (the text or the image) is imitated in an ironic way. This can happen in a harmless as well as a corrosive way. The success of the parody will be greater the more famous the original and the parodied (magnified) elements are therefore more recognizable.

bezimeni [28]

The following examples and definitions concerning imagery and symbolism will help you identify them in the texts from Unit 2 and write a paragraph about them.

  • Example of imagery: "The yellow flowers danced in the wind like gentle ballerinas."
  • Example of symbolism: The author can mention one image often to mean something else. For instance, he can mention smoke to signify confusion or fear.

<h3>What is imagery?</h3>

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing). Its goal is to involve readers and help them to visualize what is being described and feel a certain way. This device relies on descriptive words.

<h3>What is symbolism?</h3>

Symbolism uses something to represent something else, usually something simple or small to represent something bigger and more important. A classic example is a national flag, often associated with ideas of independence and freedom.
