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.

3. What happened to the last Eleven chosen to be Receiver?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

He would experience real pain.

Explanation:

In the book, 'Giver', Jonas was selected to be the Receiver of Memory. It was explained by the Elder who conferred this position, that the receiver would experience deep and real pain which no other person in the community has experienced. The last Eleven chosen to be Receiver, was to have exceptional intelligence, courage and integrity. He must also have the ability to see beyond things. Jonas did not believe that he had this capacity, but the elders believed in him.

The rules also stated that the Receiver could not discuss his pains and dreams with others. He would be rude and tell lies. He would also forfeit his friendships.

Ten years ago, a girl named Rosemary was conferred as the receiver. She was given a painful memory which led to depression on her part. She requested to be released and the result was that she unleashed her pains on the community. This caused chaos. Because of this experience, Jonas could not request to be released.
