Answer:

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.

Vonnegut used television to reinforce a theme within the text, because: By broadcasting the deaths of Harrison and the ballerina, television is used to ensure conformity and control the citizens. This shows the dangers of "total equality" as violence is used to ensure equality.

<h3>What is the theme of Harrison Bergeron?</h3>

"Harrison Bergeron," which was written by Kurt Vonnegut showed an American society where citizens were made to conform to the dictates of society. Harrison rebelled and danced at a televised program.

He was, however, killed by Diana and this was seen by the viewers. The broadcast of the death shows that rebellion will not be tolerated. This will instill fear in the viewers.

In Sherlock Holmes, what suggests that Watson has an expert in understanding of the habits of Holmes?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

  • “To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again.” (paragraph 1)
  • “His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me.” (paragraph 2)

Explanation:

The two lines above show that Watson had become an expert in studying Holmes. In the first, Watson himself, admits that he knows every mood and habit of Holmes and how they told their own stories. He was able to deduce from them that Holmes was working again.

In the second line, Watson was able to deduce that Holmes was glad to see him even though his manner was not revealing this.
