In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", by Mark Twain, the incongruity that exists between the narrator and Simon Wheeler is <em>The narrator is brisk and businesslike; Wheeler takes his time.</em>

A friend of the narrator tells him to look for Reverend Leonidas W. Smiley, and to contact Simon Wheeler for that purpose. The introductory paragraphs writen by the narrator go straight to the point. On the contrary, Wheeler uses long descriptive sentences with bad grammar, and full of dialect. Even though he is serious there is an overall humoros effect. " ...if I asked old Wheeler  about him,... he would... bore me nearly to  death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me."

andre [41]

I looked this question up and found the complete version online. The research question is:

"Why do high school students no spend enough time doing physical activity every day?"

Answer:

The statement which is the best evaluation of the research question is:

A. It is too biased; this research question contains an opinion and cannot be answered through research.

Explanation:

The author of the research question states an opinion when he/she says that high school students do not spend enough time doing physical activity. We do not know if this is true, if it is a fact. Had the author stated the question is a different manner, perhaps even providing some data, then it may have had some factual validity. For example: "A new study shows that 95% of high school students only exercise once a week. What are the reasons behind that number?" That question would not be based on an opinion, but on a fact. It would be easier to come up with a research - an interview, for instance - that would actually find out the reasons why that happens.

balandron [24]
Well, it’s bad luck to say the title “Macbeth” within a theatre space, so you could start with setting that rule down. Also, you could go about it the way that Orwell did in “Animal Farm,” using different characters and settings to relay the same plot. For example, Orwell used barnyard animals to represent the communists. You could use Trump as an example because he was a “nobleman” who schemed to gain power. Something like that?
