This question is about the poem "No Man is an Island", by John Donne.

Answer:

The statement that best describes a theme of the poem is:

C. Everyone and everything in the world is connected as part of a larger whole.

Explanation:

No wonder the title of the poem says no man is an island. We are all connected; we are a continent, a family. If one of us dies, no matter where in the world, all the rest of us should grieve, according to the speaker. We are a part of a larger whole. No man is truly isolated for all men are a part of humankind:

[...]any man's death diminishes me,

because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore never send to know for whom

the bell tolls;

it tolls for thee.

Read the following text reproduced from neil postman's amusing ourselves to death.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

B). Postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. Instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.

Explanation:

The second option from the given options is not plagiarised as it paraphrases the ideas presented in the paragraph and acknowledges the author i.e. 'Neil Postman' when it says 'Postman argues.' It restates the meaning of the passage using different words that help in preventing plagiarism. The other options represent Postman's language as well as ideas without paraphrasing and acknowledgment or citation of the source that eventually plagiarizes them. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Sidana [21]

Explanation:

I Assumed you are referring to the story, "FAHRENHEIT 451 " by Ray Bradbury

Interestingly, we see the conversation that transpired on page 61 of the text. There Montag was indirectly referring to the many "educated" individuals who due to their not having a home, sought refuge along the train tracks.

So in other words, he was alluding to the fact that even though lots of persons had University degrees, they were unfortunate and lived along the rail tracks in the city.
