Match the definitions below with the correct terms.
Ronch [10]

Answer:

A. Setting

B. deux ex machina

C. Satire

D. Etymology

E. Characterization

Explanation:

Setting does not only refer to the place where the story or event occurred, it also refers to the time period and sometimes the mood as well. It helps to establish the circumstances in which the event had occurred. It also support reasons to as to why events unfolded the way they did.

Deux ex machina means "god from the machine", coined by the Greeks. As a literary device, it is when a character or an event is introduced to resolve the conflict of the story, when the story seems unsolvable. People debate whether this is a good literary device, as it seems like a last-ditch attempt of the writer to bring out a happy ending. Although, this device works well as a comedic twist.

Satire is a literary device that highlights the faults, short-comings, or vices of humans. The intent of the use of this literary device is to shame individuals or groups, by ridiculing their follies, as an attempt to improve them.

Etymology is the study of the history of words and how it has changed over time. It studies how words were derived or where they were derived from, tracing it back to the earliest period it was first used or when it occurred first.

Characterization is a literary deviced used to introduce a character. The author could directly describe the character as an introduction, describing their physical features and demeanor. The characters can also be described through the perspective of the character themselves, or even through other characters or interactions within the story.
