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.

What does the character Everyman suggest about the common English person of the time period
Alla [95]

Everyman is a moral drama, a play that was first published in 1508. The moral aspect is involved at the very beginning, when God sends Death to invite the main character Everyman, after which the action takes place on Earth, where Everyman represents every human being, and the action can also be anywhere on Earth. The moral premise is given by the fact that everyone's good and evil deeds will be expressed by God after death. Terrified by the knowledge that he will die, Everyman turns to his friends, who initially show love and support, but when they discover that Everyman moves on the path of death, they leave him. After that, he turns to the family in the same way, for support, but also the family reacts in the same way after the initial inclination. This shows the cruel reality of an ordinary man who has to go on his own way without return, and to answer for his own deeds completely independently. In fact, on this journey there are no privileges, all are ordinary, common people before proclaiming their own deeds that are done during their lifetime. After being rejected by everyone, Everyman turns to his goods, material possessions, which have contributed more to sins than to good deeds. With this knowledge, Everyman is desperate, and then a moral aspect in the form of a Doctor, which gives moral advice, enters the scene. The moral advice, in the form of repentance, gives strength, that good deeds are raised above sins. The man is weakened by the sins and in the inability to strengthen the good in himself. By repentance he succeeds, and thus, Everyman with the help of  the power of good deeds and repentance approaches to the heavenly gates.

The message of the drama applies to all people, at the moment of death, a man is abandoned by all, he is confronted with his own actions, and can only find strength in sincere repentance.

Which sentence does not contain awkward sentence structure?
antoniya [11.8K]

Hey there!

The correct answer is A.) As a special treat, Lee invited friends to dinner and took them all out.

A doesn't seem akward, it seems perfectly fine

B is akward, because it states "and all of them were taken out", and it makes it sound different from the implied meaning.

C is akward, because it says "had taken", and in this type of sentence, the proper past tense form of "take" should be "took", not "taken".

Hope this helps! Good luck on your assignment!
