STANFORD, CA—Surmising that the animal was probably sick and most definitely filthy, Stanford University scientists warned Americans Monday to just stay away from that bird. “It’s doing a weird thing with its wings, and it just looks all grimy,” said researcher Emily Carden, emphasizing that Americans should avoid going anywhere near the bird as scientists had no idea where it had been. “Who knows what this bird’s deal is, but you can tell there’s something wrong with it. It was kind of walking in a circle a bit ago, but now it’s just picking at one of its nasty-looking feathers and making a strange noise. It might be dying, but it could probably still fly right at you if it wanted to. It’s just so gross.” At press time, researchers were urging Americans to remain quiet while they tried to gently poke at the bird with a long stick.

Mazyrski [523]

I can just give you a suggestion of a story that I have watched. It's " How the Grinch stole the Christmas". The theme of the cartoon is that Christmas is not about presents. One evidence from the cartoon is that after Grinch stole all the presents from the people's houses, they were still happy and they were singing together by holding hands like the presents were nothing for them. At the end the Grinch realized his mistake and gave back all the staffs that he stole.

I hope it helps a little.

Like burnt-out torches by sick man's bed Which technique is being used

Liono4ka [1.6K]

After doing some online searching, I've found that this question refers to figurative language. It is not an incomplete question, it was just missing the context for people to be able to understand it. Now that I know what it is about, I can safely answer:

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

In the phrase "Like burnt-out torches by a sick man's bed" we have something being compared to something else. Even though we don't know what it is, we know it is compared to burnt-out torches. The comparison was made with the help of a support word, "like". Its purpose it to attribute one or more qualities of a burnt-out torch to something else by saying they are similar. Comparisons that use support words are called simile. They are a very common figure of speech along with metaphors, with the difference that metaphors also make comparisons, but without using support words.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A. The narrator thinks Jasper is foolish.

Explanation:

The best that expresses the narrator's viewpoints towards Jasper is that "the narrator thinks Jasper is foolish".

From the excerpt, it is very clear that the narrator thinks Jasper is foolish. One is termed foolish is if he/she refuses to heed to warning. A foolish person is seen to be unwise and definitely lacks wisdom. Jasper displayed that because he was oblivious of the figure he cut out.

His foolishness is seen in his not making proper enquiries about the whereabouts of Thomas.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
