Answer:

Hyperbole is used for emphasizing.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech which is used for emphasizing and expressing exaggerated statements or claims.

Two most famous hyperboles in <em>Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" </em>are:

<em>"Tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent – of at least one eighth part of the habitable globe."</em>

<em>"Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now"</em>

By using <em>hyperbole</em>, Paine in this text addresses the “cause” of American independence and pushes people into thinking about deserved freedom for the whole world, which has to be done at that same moment, both for the present time and future time.

Read this excerpt from “The Story of the Porter and the Three Ladies” and answer the question.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The above excerpt is a good example of the many storytelling devices used in 1001 Nights except surprise ending.

Explanation:

<u>The excerpt we are analyzing here does have elements of repetition, dialogue and recurring theme. However, it is not a good example of surprise ending, and the reason for that is very simple. </u>Take a look at how the excerpt ends:

<em>The porter was so dazzled he could hardly believe that he heard her aright, but he shouldered his basket in hot haste, saying in himself, "O day of good luck! O day of Allah's grace!" and walked after her till she stopped at the door of a house.</em>

<u>This is not a proper ending. As a matter of fact, this is the beginning of the story. Readers are left expecting, wondering what happens to the porter and the mysterious woman once they reach that door.</u> It might very well be that the story does have an interesting ending, but we are analyzing the excerpt only. And the excerpt does not have an ending whatsoever.

2. Root , D

3. A and D

4 A affix

5. A and D

Explanation:

Brief explanation to show you how I got my answers.

1. A has the suffix ical

B  tic

.c has ment

D does not have a suffix

E has ence.

 2. The answer is root because it is not affix, not suffix or prefix

  so it is root.

  3. A because the prefix auto

D - In

  4. it is again not suffix or prefix, or postscript so affix.

5.  A, auto changes it, because bio means life and auto means self so it changes to that persons life instead of a biography about someone else it is about ones life.

incoherence - the quality of being illogical, inconsistent, or unclear. Without the in- prefix it means the opposite the quality of being logical and consistent.

Hope this helps you let me know if you have any questions!
