G. K. Chesterton uses the story of King Midas to strengthen his claims in the essay "The Fallacy of Success. " Which rhetorical

device is used in this excerpt from the essay?
Unfortunately, however, Midas could fail; he did. His path did not lead unerringly upward. He starved because whenever he touched a biscuit or a ham sandwich it turned to gold. That was the whole point of the story, though the writer has to suppress it delicately, writing so near to a portrait of Lord Rothschild. The old fables of mankind are, indeed, unfathomably wise; but we must not have them expurgated in the interests of Mr. Vanderbilt. We must not have King Midas represented as an example of success; he was a failure of an unusually painful kind.aphorism

A.) anecdote
B.) allusion
C.) metaphor
D.) alliteration

Combine the following sentences using appropriate conjunctions to have just one complex sentence? A) Choosing between models is
Helga [31]

Answer:

'Although choosing between the model types like desktop and laptop is a decision for the consumer, the decision is personal.'

Explanation:

Conjunctions are defined as the words that are used to connect two or more words, clauses(principle and subordinate), phrases, or sentences. They are of three types: coordinating conjunction, subordinating conjunction, and correlative conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions like 'and', 'but', 'yet' etc. are employed to join two independent clauses or words and phrases while subordinating conjunction is used in complex sentences to link a dependent clause along with an independent clause. Correlative conjunction are used in pairs. For example, 'between/and', 'but/also', etc.

As per the question, the given sentences could be linked together to form a single complex sentence as:

'Although choosing between the model types like desktop and laptop is a decision for the consumer, the decision is personal.'

Here conjunction 'although' is used to introduce the dependent clause and that is followed by the independent clause to accomplish the meaning.
