's name is Tiny. D. It was dark and dim in the doorway.

pentagon [3]3 years ago

Answer:

B, You have to be cruel to be kind

Explanation:

<em>A paradox is a statement that seems self-contradictory on the surface but, upon closer inspection, actually rings true. </em>

In this example, at first thought, being cruel is never kind, but if you think more deeply about it you realize that is can be true. Tough love is one use of this, as parents sometimes have to be strict and/or mean (perform a cruel action) in order to teach their children right from wrong. (perform a kind action)

A is an oxymoron. "Awfully" and "pretty" are contradictory terms.

C is verbal irony. You wouldn't expect something so large to be called tiny.

D is alliteration. Dark, dim, and doorway all start with the same sound.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Awkward, yet successful

Explanation:

The first time Gatsby and Daisy saw each other after a very long time, was on the house of his new friend Nick Carraway who happened to be Daisy’s cousin. At first, it felt very awkward since they had a flame for each other in the past; but now, Daisy was married to someone else. But as time passed, Gatsby and Daisy started talking and started reminding about the time they met and the time they spend together. After a while, it was like nothing happened between them and that time hadn’t moved. That is why the correct answer is “Awkward, yet successful”.

Why is it important to consider your audience? This helps the writer identify what is important to him or her. This helps the wr
BigorU [14]

Answer:

This helps the writer identify the types of details and language needed in the writing.

Explanation:

Your writing audience is who is going to read your writing. It could be your fellow classmates, your teacher, professor, parents, or even just people on the internet. It is important to know who you are writing for so you can write specifically for them.

For example, if you are writing a text message to a friend, you can use slang words and inside jokes because you know they will understand it. However, if you are writing an e-mail to your teacher asking for the homework, you should use more traditional speech and more professional to get your point across.

You have to know your writing audience so you can write <em>for  </em>your audience<em>.</em>
