The best answer is:
<span>"General Barker bustled about the house like a woman preparing Thanksgiving dinner for twenty."
Comparing General Barker, a man in one of the most masculine professions there are, and preparing for a demonstration of an incredibly powerful weapon of mass destruction, to a woman preparing for Thanksgiving Dinner is ironic in its great contrast between the subject and what he's being compared to. </span>

Write a diary entry to tell how you feel about arguments.
Alina [70]
February 26 2021

Dear diary,

My parents started fighting and it really made me feel very uncomfortable. I started bursting into tears! I had no one to talk to about it! After I started to calm down a like bit I decided to write how I feel about arguments. It went something like this.
The second reason that we often say the wrong thing is because our first instincts are usually off. In fact, it’s often the words we lead with that get us into so much trouble. “That’s because too often we end up framing the issue as who’s right or who’s wrong,”Instead of trying to understand what’s really happening in a disagreement, we advocate for our position. I’m sitting on my bed writing this, I have to stop writing because I have school tomorrow. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.

When readers come across implied textual evidence, they have to _____. Select all that apply.
weeeeeb [17]

Implied (or implicit) textual evidence is suggested but not directly stated.  When a reader comes across implied textual evidence, they have to:

put together details in the text to draw a conclusion and make educated guesses.  

Reading between the lines is very vague, but you do have to infer (or draw a conclusion) with this technique.  

Finding direct statements in the text that leave no room for doubt is explicit evidence (directly stated).  This is the only one I would not mark.
