Answer: C. Jim and Della’s poverty is of no consequence because their sacrifices for each other are of more value.

In the story "The Gift of the Magi," Jim and Della are a couple who do not have enough money to buy each other a good present. Therefore, they decide to sell their most valued possession, independently. However, these possessions were the necessary element for the other person's present to be useful. Despite this, Jim and Della's poverty is of no importance to them, because their sacrifices for each other are a lot more valuable.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Patriotism can only be exemplified. It is that which stands individuals and organizations out and moves nations forward. It is voluntary.

Explanation:

The present corona virus pandemic and efforts made by spirited organization and individuals to be of help to fellow Americans and people of the world is a good example of patriotism.

CNN program- Impact Your World- shows how individuals help each other to survive the pandemic. We learnt of teens who started no-contact deliveries to old people. We heard of Pizza shops that gave out lunch to front line workers and Krispy Kreme that gave out free doughnuts to front line workers. These are great expression of patriotism.

Apart from individuals, government is also supporting of debt relief to poor countries to help them cushion the effect of the pandemic.

True patriotism can only be demonstrated and it has to be voluntary. It does not seek for vain glorification, rather the desire to serve is the major driving force.

According to your textbook, what kind of supporting materials are used in the following speech excerpt: Not all Hollywood marria
Doss [256]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. The options are as follows:

[...] Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have been together for 23 years, as have Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Denzel and Pauletta Washington have been married for 28 years, Billy and Janice Crystal for 41 years, and Bill and Camille Cosby for 47 years.

A. brief examples

B. synthetic examples

C. repetitive examples

D. enumerated examples

E. informative examples

Answer:

The kind of supporting materials being used in the excerpt is:

A. brief examples .

Explanation:

<u>The purpose of using brief examples is to simply further illustrate or demonstrate something to the audience that they may not know, that is not so obvious to them. That is precisely what we have in the excerpt we are analyzing here. The speaker merely wishes to show his/her audience that there are several couples in Hollywood who have been married for quite some time. There is no need to used, for instance, an extended example here. What has been said so far is not so complex as to demand a lengthy example</u>. Notice that the speaker is not necessarily enumerating the couples, nor is he/she providing two much information about them. Their names and how long they've been married are briefly stated, which is enough for the purpose of illustrating the affirmation that "Not all Hollywood marriages are doomed to quick failure."

"C. Her stomach rumbled like an approaching train.
Simile is a rhetorical figure who uses the resource of comparison or similarity between terms. Its character is simpler than that of metaphor, and therefore appears more frequently than it is in both the classic epics and popular poetry."
