Hi!


The correct answer would be Homonyms.


Homonyms are the words that have similar spellings, pronunciation, but different meanings. Example: rose (flower) & rose (past tense of rise) are homonyms.


Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings, are not spelled or pronounced alike generally. Example: hot & cold are antonyms of each other.


Synonyms are words that have similar meanings, and are not spelled or pronounced alike generally. Example: sad & unhappy are synonyms of each other.


Homophones are words that sound alike, but have different meanings and different spellings too. Example: ad & add are homophones.

Mary, marry, and merry are homonyms in the New England dialect.<br> true or false
Tatiana [17]
The statement above is FALSE.
Homonyms refers to two or more words which have the same spelling, the same sound but different meaning. The three words given above, that is, Mary, Marry and Merry do not have the same spelling and sound, therefore, they are not homonyms.

How is dystopian fiction present the power of fear? How could dystopian or utopian fiction be used to manipulate readers?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Dystopian fiction presents the power of fear very realistically and dystopian or utopian fiction could be used to manipulate readers by scaring them off with the possibility of what could happen (bad). Dystopian fiction presents a future where many people suffer and live in misery because of something taken to the extreme. Dystopian or utopian fiction, therefore, manipulates the reader to not do what caused the misery in the story. Dystopian fiction exaggerates existing problems in our reality to show readers what could happen if society continues down a certain path. Both utopian and dystopian fiction is used to warn readers about the risks of attempting to alter society in any way. “Dystopian authors argued that the pursuit of perfection will inevitably lead not to ‘no place’ but to a ‘bad place’, because of flaws within the system” (Ostergaard, Commonlit). So this kind of future is a fear for the people and it is a dangerous world. It is a kind of future where no one wants to live in.
