Read the excerpt from The Inheritors. EMIL: Guess you don't know much about the Espionage Act or you'd go and make a little frie
ndly call on your uncle. When your case comes to trial—and Judge Lenon may be on the bench—(whistles) He's one fiend for Americanism. What best describes the effect of the word fiend in this excerpt? It establishes the time period in which the story occurred by using language that is not typically used in today’s society. It develops the conflict by establishing the fact that Judge Lenon is unforgiving when he feels that someone has been unpatriotic. It enhances the theme of the story by suggesting that it is nearly impossible to receive a fair trial during this time period. It characterizes Judge Lenon as a corrupt judge who cares more about patriotism than he cares about justice.
First of all, we need to establish two definitions here. the first one is Americanism that is the attachment to ideas and traditions in the USA, basically being an absolute patriot.
The second word is fiend which is a person who has negative intentions towards your feelings and in general, to anything other people value.
Taking this in consideration we can say that the correct answer is It develops the conflict by establishing the fact that Judge Lenon is unforgiving when he feels that someone has been unpatriotic since he is a fiend for Americanism he won't stop in his objective of going against anything that is opposite to his beliefs.
The other options are not correct because they talk about the use of vocabulary more than its meaning and the last one talks about corruption which is not mentioned in the excerpt.
It creates an ironic tone through repetition. It emphasizes the cyclical nature of the year. It makes the text seem more orderly and scientific. It calls attention to similarities between the seasons.
Anne Bonny was one of the most famous female pirates during the Golden Age. She was born in Ireland, but later she moved to America (to the Province of Carolina) when she was 10 years old. When she grew up, she fell in love with Calico Jack Rackham, who was a pirate, and she became one herself. She participated in many pirate fights and fought with more skill than any other male pirate.
