2: a pun that achieves its humor through the use of how words appear
Explanation:
i dunno about 3 tho-
The correct answer is A.
In this execrpt from Orwell's "Animal Farm", the author uses parallel structure to link the phrases.
To avoid repetition, Orwell conects all the elements through parallel structure, thus encompassing everything in just one sentence.
The correct option is this: HE RAN DOWN THE STEP, JUMPED IN HIS CAR AND QUICKLY DROVE OFF.
When writing a parallel sentence, one must ensure that the words used are in the same form. For instance, the sentence, Mary like to ski, to swim and to jump is a parallel sentence. It will be wrong to say that, Mary like to ski, to swim and jumping. In this case, you can see that the words placed in front of 'to' did not rhyme all through.<span />
Of these four words, the one which is most likely to have a negative flavor or connotation is d)meander. To confuse is the state of being bewildered or unclear in one's mind about something. To distract is to the divided attention of an individual or a group away from the designated object on which the focus should be put on. A harangue is a long speech delivered in front of an audience. To meander is to walk around aimlessly without a fixed direction which contains a negative flavor or connotation.
