How does the phrase "a million mosquitoes" affect the passage?

A. It implies that there is a large amount of mosquitoes in the yard.  

“A million something” (in this case mosquitoes) is an hyperbolic figure of speech used to imply a large or excessive amount of something. Option B about Jack not being a reliable narrator could have been a possible answer but the passage is written using a third-person point of view, so Jack is not a narrator.

Which type of figurative language is used in this sentence from George Orwell’s novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying?
slavikrds [6]

The figurative language used is a metaphor. A flashback refers to a previous event and there's no indication of Orwell referring to any previous events in this sentence. An oxymoron is when contradictory words are used in a conjunction such as faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. The word usage in this sentence isn't contradictory as it flows well in this sentence. A euphemism is a nice way to say a bothering statement. The sentence isn't any sort of bad claim, so the option of a euphemism is out of the question. A metaphor compares two things without using the words "like" or "as". In this sentence, Orwell compares advertising to the rattling of a stick inside of a swill-bucket. This makes metaphor the correct answer. Hope this helped :))

What clue does the narrator's repeated lament, "what can one do?' give the reader about her personality? (pg. 1) Describe other
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

This question refers to the story "The Yellow Wallpaper." In this story, we meet a woman who is sick, according to her husband. He is a doctor, and the treatment that he suggests for her is complete rest and relaxation, which eventually leads her to insanity.

When the narrator repeateadly laments "what can we do?" we get a glimpse of her passivity and the way in which she defers all decisions to her husband. Other aspects of the personality of this woman are the fact that she considers her husband to know best, even though she disagrees with the treatment and is mad at the possibility of receiving it. The woman appears to be conflicted in her emotions because she outwardly seems to really value her husband's opinion, and appears to be ready to listen to everything he says. At the same time, she appears to be mad about his behaviour and hold some resentment towards him or their marriage.
