<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Yes</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The two characters of the story, House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar are Irene and her brother who wasn't named.

<u>Here are two things that seem “off” about the two characters and their relationship:</u>

  1. <u>In their forties and still are both unmarried</u>
  2. <u>they both live in the same house.</u>

1. By stating that both characters are old enough to be married but yet aren't creates a sense of surprise to an avid reader because it is rare to find such a situation in society.

2. We are also told both siblings live in the same house which they inherited. This creates another surprise to the reader that grownups who are siblings can stay in the same house for a long time.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

One study revealed that when a name is simple, easily pronounced and rhythmic, it is judged more favorably than ones that lack these qualities.

Explanation:

According to certain studies, people are more likely to favor a person whose name is simple, easily pronounced and rhythmic. These characteristics make names easier to comprehend. According to Adam Alter, psychologist and co-author of a <em>Journal of Experimental Social Psychology</em> study called <em>The name-pronunciation effect: Why people like Mr. Smith more than Mr. Colquhoun, </em>we prefer information that we can process and comprehend easily more than one that takes longer to process. This applies to names as well.
