We need to make sure we know what each of these words mean before we can decide which answer is best.

Satire is the use of humor, comedy, or exaggeration to criticize people's vices.

Irony is expressing your meaning by using language that is the opposite of what you mean, usually for humorous effect.

Dialect is a particular form of language that is specific to a region or group.

Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration.

With these definitions in mind, we can knock hyperbole off immediately as there is nothing exaggerated about the words we're looking at. Satire doesn't quite fit either because it's not obvious or apparent what is being satirized here. Irony also isn't a good choice because what is ironic isn't immediately obvious. Dialect is your best choice because the last part--"a-comin"--implies someone has dropped the g at the end of coming and makes it sound like a dialect.

Which title most clearly shows that the purpose of the text is to inform readers about the art displayed in a museum?
Sonja [21]
B. Highlights of the Nebraska Museum of Art

Explanation: the other options focus on aspects that does not focus on the art displayed in the museum. A talks about physical sites, not the actual art. C talks about the importance of art which is a general title that does not specify the needed topic (it is also not a basis of informing— this is usually opinionized) while D talks about the instructional basis of artists learning paint: not the art displayed itself.

Answer:

D. I let a nervous and shaking breath out of my lungs, and with one pointer finger, pressed the doorbell with the light in it. I heard the two notes of the “ding-dong,” and a dog began to bark very fast, loudly, and in a high-pitched manner.
