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.

Who is the “malevolent phantom” locked away in the Radley house? What did he do to cause him to be locked away (truth), and desc
cestrela7 [59]

Answer: The "malevolent phantom" is Boo Radley himself. Boo was locked away because he became a troublemaker, but the children believe he was monstrous or was killed.

Explanation: Scout compares Boo Radley to a ghost or a phantom. Boo Radley was locked in the house as a teenager because he was unstable and involved with a group of troublemakers and the family did not want him to go to jail. Then, when he was 33 years old, Boo stabbed his father in the leg with scissors. He was arrested, sent to jail, and once again released to the Radley’s custody—and never seen again. Jem said this, "There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time" (Lee 10), which characterizes Boo as a monster. "Maybe he died and they stuffed him up the chimney" (Lee 27) is another rumor.

How does Kennedy’s word choice affect the tone and meaning of this excerpt from the passage? While the wall is the most obvious
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The excerpt provided in the question belongs to a speech President Kennedy gave in West Berlin on June 26th, 1963. The President's word choices such as "failures", "world to see", "obvious", "offense against humanity" "dividing" help to set the tone and meaning of his speech. Kennedy addressed the audience in Berlin, but also the world, to express the support given by the United States to West Berlin against the wall that the Soviet Union had built. He uses repetition, for example with the word offense, to give a clear message on how the communist system is attacking the freedom of the world and of all of Berlin's citizens, and how democracy is the only solution to the separation of families and communities that want to be together.
