<span>"decapitation of the government" is the idiom Jay Winik used in the second paragraph. The idiom's intended meaning is the severance of the top government officials from the remainder of civil society through assassination. I think the idiom was chosen to add a grave visual description of the sense of the moment.</span>

For my second video, I decided to watch the "taco bells, Nacho Fries" They did a great marketing strategy. During the time Horror movies were a big trend but unfortunately, taco bell was selling food, not a movie. So they decided to make the first few seconds seem like it was a horror movie but while still have the nacho fries on the screen. Then they showed the nacho fries as the villain or horror. That made the viewer intrigued. Even if at that point they decide to skip the video, they won't forget it. Like I said earlier, horror movies were big at that time, so even if they wanted to forget it would be a challenge. Also because they continued watching means that they were interested in the commercial.

When watching Hulu I found this ad and fell in love with it. The song was so catchy that my brother and I sing it for fun. The actors portray amazing emotions that seem so natural. The Commercial I'm talking about is "Tag Team Helps With Dessert - GEICO Insurance" They make the commercial funny with different angles, a unique song, emotions, and even the little dances were entertaining to watch. The producers wanted to make something unique. Even though it could seem random it not tho. It makes it clear with a story and makes it unique with comedy.

fomenos

Read these lines from stanza 6.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

take a look at this line again

<em>performing breathtaking feats </em>

<em>of aquatic acrobatics for the sheer joy of it.</em>

Does that sound like silly and foolish to you? It doesn't to me. That answer should never be considered. Not D

Where's the stubborn part? Do the dolphins sound stubborn?  Not B either.

What about flexible and powerful? I think this is likely your second best answer. It would take power to get them out of the water and to be acrobatic you need to be flexible. I wouldn't pick this answer, but I understand those who would.

To me the answer if C. They sound like they are having a lot of fun. And they are treating what they are doing with a lot of glee and much joy. What the author says is that it is breathtaking. C is the only answer you could pick.
