The above statement contains an example of the rhetorical device known as irony.
Don't you think it is quite ironic that many people believe that the influences of jazz music and era of the 1920s are far more devastating that the disaster that the WWI brought to a nation?

There are two possible answers to this question:

The first one would be allusion. The passage uses allusion because it references the World War. Allusion occurs when an author references an object of an unrelated context in an indirect way.

The second option would be hyperbole. Hyperbole happens when the author makes an exaggerated claim that is not meant to be taken literally. In this case, by saying that jazz has caused more destruction that the World War, the author is clearly exaggerating for dramatic effect.

Imagine you are writing a story for your family and friends to read. What elements of a story are the most important to focus on
nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

If I would write a story about my family to be read by my friends and family members, then the elements of the story that are the most important to focus on would be the characters, the plot of the story, the setting of the story, the conflicts of the story and the resolution.

These elements must be included in a story because they give the story the right structure so readers can read it easily. The elements affect how the reader understands a story because if they are structured and written correctly, this could confuse the readers and the story cannot be understood.

For example, the main characters would be my mom, dad, my sister, my dad's boss, and my school teacher. The plot of the story would be how a little lie can complicate the life of an entire family. The setting of the story would be my town, with all its surroundings, school, and workplace. The conflicts of the story are the consequences of a lie told by my sister, and how my family trusted her. This generated an unexpected chain of events that affected the family, my dad's work, mom's friends, and my school activities.

The resolution would be the way the truth became obvious after one week of strange events, how the characters had to discover the truth and ask for apologies in their respective places(work, school), and how my parents punished my sister to learn the lesson of the story: never tell a lie, even little ones.
