C. Adults without a high school diploma might have a more difficult time finding an office job than other adults.

This is an example of an incorrect or illogical comparison. The author is comparing adults without a high school diploma to other adults. However, who the other adults are is not clear. Do the other adults have a high school diploma? GED? Associates degree? Bachelors degree? Masters degree? Doctorate? This breaks the rule of you can't compare something of a specific type to all things of that type.

An illogical comparison happens when a sentence compares two things that aren't of the same type, for example comparing people with objects, which is the case on this question.

The options from A,B, and C, compare things from the same type, in A the comparison is between jobs, in B the comparison is between jobs as well, and in C the comparison is between people.

The only illogical comparison is comparing people with jobs, as done in option D.

So, the answer to this question is:

D. My sister has had more summer jobs than anyone in our family.

In Langston Hughes's poem "Justice," what is Justice a symbol of?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

C. the justice system skewed against African Americans.

Explanation:

Here's the poem:

That Justice is a blind goddess

Is a thing to which <u>we black are wise</u>:

Her bandage hides two festering sores

That once perhaps were eyes.

Notice how Hughes writes that "we black are wise." This implies that the justice he speaks of (which is referred to as a "her" throuhgout the poem) is "blind" when it comes to the struggles of African Americans.

Choice A is incorrect because the poem clearly implies that the justice system is biased against blacks.

Choice B is incorrect because the poem calls justice "blind," which implies that she is flawed.

Choice D is incorrect because there is no mention of "human rights" or not caring." Justice is described as being "blind" which does not imply either.

Does this monologue have such dramatic elements as conflict resolution dialogue and stage directions porphyrias lover
Dvinal [7]
Porphyria's Lover is a dramatic monologue that tells us the speaker's thoughts.

There is no conflict resolution: the poem ends with Porphyria dead by her lover's hand. No one has come upon them by the end of the poem and he has not been punished. What happens after this scene ends is unresolved.

There is no dialogue, either. The speaker of the poem tells us that Porphyria "calls" the speaker, but he does not relate her exact words. There is no dialogue in the poem.
Finally, there are no formal stage directions. The speaker does describe several actions happening during the poem -- as when the speaker tells us he strangles Porphyria with her hair -- but we do not have formal stage directions as one would get in a play.
