A.  

first person  

B.  

second person  

C.  

third-person limited  

D.  

third-person omniscient

Explanation:

Read this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift:

Infant's flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolifick dyet, there are more children born in Roman Catholick countries about nine months after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us.

I have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar's child (in which list I reckon all cottagers, labourers, and four-fifths of the farmers) to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he hath only some particular friend, or his own family to dine with him. Thus the squire will learn to be a good landlord, and grow popular among his tenants, the mother will have eight shillings neat profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child.

Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flea the carcass; the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen.

Question 1 of 10
Natalija [7]

The real meaning behind the euphemism "areas are depopulated" is "People are killed during a war," as stated in option B and explained below.

<h3>What is euphemism?</h3>

We call euphemism the figure of speech that says something in a way that sounds less bad than it really is. Suppose your break your leg playing football and someone asks you if it hurts. You reply, "Just a little," which is an euphemism, since your leg actually hurts a lot.

Therefore, to find the option that would be the real meaning of "areas are depopulated," we must find a statement that is quite bad:

  • We can eliminate option A because the meaning is the opposite of what we need.
  • Option B is the correct answer. It is really bad that people are dying, so using "depopulated" to say that would be an euphemism.
  • We can eliminate option C. Like the first option, this is the opposite of the meaning we need.
  • Option D has a similar meaning to "depopulate," but it is not a bad thing. There would be no euphemism here.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.

What is the rule of law? Why is the rule of law necessary for any from of democracy? How does the rule of law affect us democrac
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

First, one has to be clear about what we are talking about. In a pure democracy, the people simply decide together what they are going to do. The rule of law matters a little but not terribly much in that situation since if there are any disagreements about what we all agreed to, we simply get back together and decide again. In practice, of course, a pure democracy does not work for anything more than a very small group.

What we generally mean is a representative democracy, or a republic. This means that there are certain people elevated to positions of authority and decision-making for society (temporarily) based on democratic selection. What makes their power temporary? What ensures that they only exercise the power they are supposed to? What prevents any of these people from becoming dictators? We may want to say that they only have the powers that we grant them democratically but ultimately those individuals in power are the ones that control the process. Democracy at a large scale, even with respect to just elections, only works if there are established procedures that are strictly followed. The principle of the rule of law means that at the most basic level we all agree that the laws as written down are what “rule” everything and everybody. Nobody can change that fact. So if some individual chooses to say they have some god-like authority, our society as a whole will not follow them because we all agree the Constitution supersedes their opinion about any authority they believe they should have. It is a fundamental social contract that we all share that makes our laws work and makes it theoretically impossible for somebody to become a dictator. Without this implicit social contract, the Constitution and the laws mean nothing.

NOTE: We tend to associate other ideas like “equality before the law”, “civil rights”, and other ideals with the rule of law. While the rule of law can help enable these things, they are not the same thing nor are they specifically part of the rule of law. The rule of law can allow and even enable inequality before the law (as it did in the Roman Empire) and a variety of other things we consider wrong. In fact the rule of law does not even have anything to do with democracy at all. It is simply a principle that allows a stable, functioning society by establishing that we all have to live by the agreed-upon standards. But as stated, a representative democracy cannot function without it.
