The study of word origins
The answer is D. "In fact, he declared it was of no use to work on his farm; it was the most pestilent little piece of ground in the whole country..."
Explanation:
Characterization is a literary device used to present characters. In the case of indirect characterization, the features of characters are not directly explained but presented through their actions or words. This occurs in option D. because the narrator does not define the personality of Rip Van Winkle in this option but only explains his decision to refuse to work and through this, it is shown, Rip Van Winkle is lazy and does not feel happy about his farm.
The answer is B: The emphasis on the role of government in people's lives implies that society has gone too far to ensure equality.
In this short story by Kurt Vonnegut, we are presented with a dystopian society in the year 2081. Through a fast narrative and the author´s characteristic absurdist humor, he dwells on a critical view of how society guarantees equality for everyone at the expense of outstanding citizens who are forced to use “handicaps” to make them “normal”, thus securing equality for everyone, even if what becomes “normal” is mediocre and sad.
<span>Sentences are similar in length, which contributes to the rhythm of the passage.
The sentences also have a similar grammatical structure when providing further evidence for what universalism means. The repetitive structures is "It does not say all ____________, but it says all men, which includes ______________." This repetitive pattern and similar sentence length contributes to the passage's rhythm.

Answer:
It is a "non-defining relative clause."
Explanation:
When it comes to differentiating a defining relative clauses from a non-defining relative clause, it is important to consider whether the clause is "essential" or "not essential" to the meaning of the whole sentence.
<em>If it is essential or extremely important, then it's a defining relative clause while if it's not essential, it's a non-defining relative clause.</em>
In the sentence, "David, who scored 500 goals, is a good player." The clause here is "who scored 500 goals." If you remove this clause, the sentence goes like this: "David is a good player." This sentence still makes sense even if the clause was removed. Thus, it is a non-defining relative clause.
