Answer:

C. litotes

Explanation:

This is an example of litotes. This refers to a figure of speech that emphasizes a point by stating a negative to further affirm the positive. Litotes also tend to incorporate double negatives for effect. The way in which we can tell this is an ironic statement depends both on context and intonation. In this case, the author tells us that the sword was "not useless" in order to convey that it was actually extremely important.

Which of the following statements best explains Jem’s feelings about living creatures?
DanielleElmas [232]

This question is about "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Answer:

Hi. You didn't show the answer options, but we can say that Jem feels responsible for protecting and helping the most fragile living creatures.

Explanation:

When Jem sees that justice is flawed, he is very confused about the role of society and it greatly prejudices that he builds his personality. However, as time goes by, Jem realizes that the injustices of society must not interfere with what everyone believes and that there are good people in the world, like his father, for example.

One day Jem's sister is trying to kill a beetle and Jem stops her. He states that the beetle is not causing harm to it, that all living beings have a function and that it is the duty of the strongest beings to protect the weakest.
